GSLVs
17 July 2008India’s cabinet approved a budget of $300 million on 17 July for ISRO to fly six more Geostationary Satellite Launch Vehicles (GSLVs) over the next four years to meet India’s increasing needs for satellite capabilities. The demand for transponders for the Indian National Satellite System is expected to increase from the current level of 211 to 500 by 2012. ISRO plans to increase the GSLV’s payload capability to 2.4 tonnes through the use of an indigenous cryogenic upper stage slated for its first flight by the end of the year.
