GSLV Mark III Launched Successfully
India
on Thursday successfully launched its heaviest rocket so far.
This
was a very significant day in the history of Indian space programme for the
development of the advanced launch vehicle that could carry a 4-tonne class of
communication satellite into orbit.”
The
country can save a massive amount of the foreign exchange it presently is
spending to send its heavy communication satellites through other space
agencies aboard.
The heavy launch vehicle would also help
India earn considerable foreign exchange by sending heavy satellites for other
countries, in addition to the revenue PSLV rockets are already securing for
ISRO’s commercial arm Antrix Corporation Limited. This CARE module is expected
to enhance ISRO’s understanding on re-entry and parachute phases of crew module.
The total budget of the experimental mission was Rs 155 crore, including the
crew module, which cost Rs 15 crore.
President
Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi were among other leaders who
congratulated the ISRO scientists for the feat that will help carry
heavier communication satellites.
“Successful
launch of GSLV Mark-III is yet another triumph of brilliance and hardwork of
our scientists.
Great Achievement………..
India Carry On
