Using indigenously developed cryogenic rocket technology, India is all set to launch the GSLV-D3 mission on Thursday from the spaceport in Sriharikota. <br/><br/>The launch vehicle GSLV-3 would blast off from the centre at 4.27 pm and put in geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) India’s 2,220 kg communication satellite GSAT-4. It will have a seven-year mission life. <br/><br/>Director of Satish Dhawan Space Centre M.C. Dathan told reporters that this is a milestone for Indian space programme in many ways. <br/><br/>This proves our capabilities and reflects our scientists’ determination to take up any challenge.<br/><br/>AIR correspondent reports that with this India will join the select club of 5 nations .It will also be the response to challenges posed by technology denial regime. <br/><br/>This is the first time India would be using indigenously built cryogenic stage and technology, which is crucial to put communication satellites weighing more than two tones in GTO.<br/><br/>The indigenous technology has come to fruition nearly 19 years after India was denied the cryogenic technology.
