ISRO soon to test launch their advanced rocket soon
ISRO will test launch India's souped-up rocket - GSLV Mark III - from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh between December 15 and 20 to test the atmospheric stability of the launch vehicle. Once Isro masters heavier launch vehicles capable of putting four tonne satellites into orbit, India will not have to depend on France to put its bigger satellites into orbit and save precious foreign exchange, besides getting more business. The test flight of GSLV Mark III will also carry a crew model to test its re-entry characteristics. "I…
