ISRO to launch GSLV-D5 today after two failed attempts

 A 29-HOUR enumeration to the Indian house analysis Organisation's makes an attempt to master the ultimate frontiers of rocket technology, a mission additional fraught with uncertainty than ISRO's Mars mission, began at eleven.18 am at the Satish Dhawan house Centre in Sri Harikota on weekday. 
ISRO can at four.18 pm on Sunday plan to launch its serious raise Geo-synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) victimization autochthonic refrigerant fuel technology — a stage in rocket technology crucial to launching manned missions into house and a vicinity wherever success has eluded ISRO for over six years. 

The regular launch of the GSLV D5 are ISRO's second try at deploying indigenously developed refrigerant higher stage fuel technology for its serious raise rockets once the primary try on Apr fifteen, 2010 terminated with the refrigerant third stage of the GSLV failing to fireplace. A second try on August nineteen, 2013 was aborted. 

Indian house scientists are performing on refrigerant fuel technology for nearly twenty years. ISRO had tried to supply the technology within the Nineties from the North American country however was denied the "strategic technology'' within the aftermath of the nuclear tests in 1998. ISRO later worked with seven cryo engines provided by Russia for early development of the GSLV programme whereas operating in parallel on its own refrigerant stage for the rocket. GSLV launches with Russian cryo stages are a variety for ISRO with 2 absolutely prosperous flights and 2 partly prosperous flights out of the seven tried. 

The refrigerant technology that permits rockets to position satellites advisement quite two,000 kilo in geo synchronous orbits in house is thought to be offered to solely 5 countries within the world — North American country, Russia, Japan, France and China. 

On Sunday, ISRO can plan to launch a one,982 kilo Indian communication satellite GSAT fourteen aboard its new and improved version of the autochthonic GSLV referred to as the GSLV D5.
