Successful Flight of Indian Dream

Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on 27th August,2015 cleared all doubts on its cryogenic capabilities,successfully launching the Geostationary Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV-D6), placing GSAT-6, a 2,117kg communicationsatellite in orbit.

This marks the second successful GSLV launch using an indigenous cryogenic engine. The first launch, on April 15 2014, was a failure, followed by the second one on January 5, 2015 which was a success.

GSLV-D6 carrying GSAT-6 lifted off from Sriharikota spaceport at 4:52pm as scheduled.This was the ninth flight of theGeostationary Satellite Launch Vehicle.Around 17 minutes after liftoff, the rocket injected GSAT-6 into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO),making the mission a success.

Congratulation to ISRO scientists on behalf of our page for this successful mission once again. All Indians are proud of you.
