Agnikul's single-stage tech demo rocket 'SOrTeD' launch called off after two 'holds'

SOrTeD — a precursor for its Agnibaan launch vehicle —powered by a semi-cryogenic engine Agnilet was initially scheduled to be launched at 5.45am, but was put "on hold" due to technical glitches observed just minutes before the lift off. While the company didn't elaborate on the glitch, it returned to launch SOrTeD at 9.25am. This time, the launch authorisation was granted and the final countdown (T-10 onwards) began when another "hold" was announced to check on "ignition". The mission was finally called off.
