GSLV Mark III, India’s heaviest rocket to date, has been launched successfully by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
The three-stage rocket is powered by two solid strap-on motors at the bottom, a liquid propellant core stage and the cryogenic upper stage. All the three stages of the rocket, including its cryogenic engine are new in configuration.
The rocket put into orbit the heaviest ever satellite weighing 3,136 kilogram (during lift off) that was launched from India, in its path breaking journey. The satellite’s intended mission life is 10 years.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
