GSLV Mark-III successfully test fired: India moves forward towards sending astronauts in space
Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) first sub-orbital flight and India's latest generation launch vehicle GSLV Mark-III lifted off successfully from the Sriharikotta space station, near Chennai at 9:30 am today.
GSLV Markk III is conceptualized and designed to make ISRO fully self-reliant in launching heavier communication satellites of INSAT-4 class, which weigh 4,500 to 5,000 kg. It would also enhance India's capability to be a competitive player in the multi-million dollar commercial launch market.
The main purpose of the mission is to test the rocket's atmospheric flight stability with around four tonne luggage.
GSLV Mark-III's second and incidental objective is to study the re-entry characteristics of the crew module - called Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment - its aero braking and validation of its end-to-end parachute system.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated all the ISRO scientists for GSLV Mark III's successful launch.
Congratulations........... miles yet to go, many skies yet to reach... progress, peace and power. That's future of India.
Congrats to Isro for the successful launch of GSLV Mk-III.All credit goes to hardwork of our scientists.
