GSLV launch on December 10: ISRO
August 30, 2013
The Indian Space Research Organisation will attempt the launch of its Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle on December 10.
The GSLV launch on August 19 was called off by the ISRO at the eleventh hour due to a fuel leak in its second stage -- in a setback to the mission to test its homegrown cryogenic engine -- after its failure three years ago.
"Based on availability of hardware and components, the geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle (GSLV-D5) assembly and checkout is expected to be completed by the first week of December and the launch could take place the same month," ISRO said in a statement.
