GSLV
(Geostationary
Satellite Launch Vehicle )
GSLV
was launched on 28th March 2001. It was a glad day in the
history of Indian Space Research. Though it did not get the desired
results as its launching was stopped within last four seconds. There
was some technical problem in the booster.
The 'S' shaped pipe whose radius is equal to Re 1 coin allows the flow of fuel. A piece of lead got stucked in this pipe through fuel oxidiser flows. This stopped the flow of the fuel.

GSLV
was completed in 10 years i.e. 87,600 hours. It measured 49.1 metres.
Its weight was 401.4 tonnes. The scientists were making efforts for
its second launch. And they succeeded on 18th April 2001.
The second development flight of GSLV was launched from a small
island Harikota. Which is at a two hours distance from Chennai on
18th April 2001 at 3:43 p.m.
This grand success brought us on the world map of space research. It has put India in the world trade of 10 million dollars i.e. Rs. 47,000 crore. The launching of GSLV has added a feather in our cap. But this is not enough. Our scientists are required to put more efforts to improve its quality and working with less budget.

The
success of GSLV has brought name and glory to India and has placed
India among the top researchers of the world.
