GSLV-FO6 mission to take off on December 25

23 December 2010

The postponed ISRO geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle (GSLV-FO6) mission, to place India’s advanced and heaviest communication satellite GSAT-5P in orbit, has now been scheduled for 1601 hours on December 25. The launch, earlier scheduled for December 20, was deferred after a leak was noticed during pre-countdown tests in one of the valves of the cryogenic engine supplied by Russia.
