GSLV Mark III Launched Successfully

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
