 | NSILISRO and OneWeb to collaborate for taking digital connectivity to every corner of the world 12 October 2021 ISRO’s PSLV and GSLV-MkIII to become a part of launch programme for OneWeb’s
LEO satellites that will beam high speed broadband. |

 | ISRO’s cryogenic conundrum 21 August 2021 An Indian GSLV launch failed last week when the engine in its cryogenic upper stage did
not ignite. Ajey Lele examines the long-running problems India has suffered trying to
develop a more powerful launch vehicle. |
| |
 | Indian rocket fails, Earth Observation satellite lost 12 August 2021 The GSLV-F10 launch took place as scheduled. Performance of first and second stages
was normal. However, cryogenic upper stage ignition did not happen due to technical
anomaly. EOS-03 was a state-of-the-art agile Earth observation satellite which was to
have been placed in a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit by GSLV-F10. The satellite was to
have reached its final geostationary orbit using its onboard propulsion system. |

 | Is ISRO’s "cryogenic curse" finally over? 23 July 2019 On Monday, India successfully launched the Chandrayaan-2 lunar mission on its GSLV Mark III rocket. Ajey Lele says the launch suggests India has mastered the cryogenic engine technology it had struggled with for decades. |
| |
 | ISRO launches Chandrayaan-2 moon mission 22 July 2019 Chandrayaan-2 lifted off onboard Isro’s most powerful launcher, the 640-tonne rocket
Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-Mark III (GSLV-Mk III), from the country’s only
launch site Satish Dhawan Space Centre. |

 | Big new Indian rocket setting stage for Moon mission 21 November 2018 The second orbital flight of India’s Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III
(GSLV Mk III) which lifted off in mid-November sets the stage for a robotic lunar mission
in January. |

 | India launches GSLV-3 carrying GSAT-29 15 November 2018 GSLV MkIII-D2, the second developmental flight of GSLV MkIII successfully launched
GSAT-29, a high throughput communication satellite at 5.08 pm IST on November 14,
2018 from the Second Launch Pad(SLP) at Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR,
Sriharikota. |

 | GLSV-F11’s cryogenic engine successfully tested 3 September 2018 ISRO said it has successfully completed the hot test of cryogenic engine for the GSLV-
F11, which is scheduled to launch GSAT-7A in November this year. |

 | Fund crisis involving India’s strategically crucial space programmes disappears 16 June 2018 Months after the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) flagged serious concerns
over the shortage of funds for projects of national importance, the Narendra Modi-led
government decided to release over $1.6 billion to the space agency. This would enable
the agency to launch 30 Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and 10 Geostationary
Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark III rockets in the next four years. |
| |
 | GSAT-6A satellite remains silent 10 April 2018 The GSAT-6A communications satellite that was launched atop a Geosynchronous
Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark II rocket 29 March 2018, has not been heard from
since the satellite’s Liquid Apogee Motor (LAM) completed its second orbit-raising burn,
the Indian Space Resource Organisation (ISRO) confirmed on its website. |
| |
 | GSLV launches Indian milcomsat 30 March 2018 India launched an upgraded version of its Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle with
liftoff, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre. India’s Geosynchronous Satellite Launch
Vehicle (GSLV) debuted an enhanced second stage with a more powerful engine. The
rocket deployed GSAT-6A, a communications satellite, for the Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO). |
| |
 | ISRO lines up 21 rockets, to launch 70 satellites in 5 years 14 August 2017 India’s space agency - the Indian Space Research Organisation - has lined up over 21
rocket launches, including the second test flight of its heaviest rocket the
Geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle (GSLV) MK-III, which will be carried out over a
period of the next three-four years. |
