India's Largest Rocket GSLV Mark III Launched:
SRIHARIKOTA: India's space agency today launched its heaviest rocket ever - the 630-tonne, three-stage Geo-Synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III. The mission will take the Indian Space Research Organisation or ISRO a step closer to sending astronauts to space.
The rocket, launched from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh, is 42.4 meters tall and costs about Rs. 160 crore.
The rocket is capable of doubling the capacity of payloads India can carry into space. It can carry four tonne communication satellites. Once ISRO masters this rocket, India won't need expensive foreign launchers to send its heavy-duty communication satellites to space.
