    It says
    
    Scientists at the Indian Space Research Organisation were set to launch their heaviest satellite from near here on Monday to retire an old one sent up in 1999 
    
    Insat 2E ( 25666 ) was sent into orbit in 1999.
    
    So it has gone to the graveyard = Another geo to look for flashing from, since it's attitude is no longer under control.
