Description
The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) is an indigenous space launch rocket designed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The GSLV program is aimed at placing payloads into geosynchronous orbits. The rocket propulsion system is based upon cryogenic engine technology developed in India. On April 15, 2010, the ISRO failed to launch the GSLV D3 vehicle due to engine trouble. The rocket fell into the Bay of Bengal 304 seconds after lift-off carrying the 2.2-ton G-Sat communications satellite. The launch on December 25, 2010, also failed soon after lift-off. India successfully launched its first GSLV Mark III rocket on December 18, 2014.
