<p>"A marginal drop in the pressure in second stage of the vehicle was noticed during the mandatory checks carried out on the PSLV-C15 vehicle," the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said in a statement.<br /><br />"The launch of ISRO's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C15) fixed for May 9, 2010, has been rescheduled. The new date for the launch of PSLV-C15 mission will be decided after preliminary results of the analysis are obtained," the statement said.<br /><br />PSLV-C15 is to launch India's Cartosat-2B, an Algerian satellite ALSAT-2A, two nano satellites, NLS 6.1 and NLS 6.2 from University of Toronto, Canada, and STUDSAT, a satellite built by students from academic institutions in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.<br />PSLV-C15 was to lift off from the spaceport at Sriharikota, an island off the Andhra Pradesh coast.<br /><br />Cartosat-2B, a 690-kg satellite, will carry a sophisticated panchromatic camera on board to take higher (0.8 metre) spatial resolution imageries with a swath of 9.6 km of specific spots for cartographic applications such as mapping, land information and geographical information system.Studsat is built by college students from Bangalore and Hyderabad at a cost of Rs.5.5 million.<br /><br />The Algerian Alsat communication satellite will be a commercial launch of the space agency's commercial arm, Antrix Corporation.Two weeks ago, India had failed in its attempt to test flight the indigenous super-cooled cryogenic upper stage engine on April 15.About eight minutes after lift off the 416-tonne geo-synchronous satellite launch vehicle (GSLV-D3) deviated from the flight path at about 60 km and spun out of control to plunge into the Bay of Bengal along with the 2.2-tonne GSAT-4 on board.<br /></p>
