The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III (GSLV Mk III), also referred to as the Launch Vehicle Mark 3 (LVM3), is a three-stage medium-lift launch vehicle developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Copyright © 2020. Over 200 tests have been done on various components of the launch vehicle and more than 11 flight tests to operationalise the rocket.
With this successful mission, Indian Space Research Organisation increased its capacity to launch satellites from 2.3 to 4 tons: By 70%. With this launch, India becomes the fourth nation followed by Russia, The United States, and China, to put astronauts into orbit but its manned spaceflight program has experienced multiple stops and starts. This will make it the first Indian rocket to carry a  3,136 kilogramme GSAT-19 satellite to a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbits (GTO). However, despite the GSLV-Mk III’s increased weight and payload capacity, it has an advantage in terms of manoeuvrability over the GSLV Mk II. For reprint rights: Times Syndication Service, June 5 launch of ‘fat boy’ to pave way for manned mission. But ISRO's new and heaviest rocket GSLV-Mark III has earned two nicknames 'fat boy' and 'Bahubali'. This is a historic moment for Indian space research as GSLV Mark III is the heaviest rocket launched by ISRO yet. GSLV Mk-III's high payload capacity enables ISRO to reduce its dependency on foreign space agencies for the launch of heavy satellites and can result in savings up to Rs 400 crore. As we reported last week, the launcher represents India's entry into heavy rocketry: its GSLV Mark III is currently able to hoist four tonnes to a geosynchronous transfer orbit, or eight tonnes to low earth orbit. Stay tuned to get latest updates on startup business in India and listen right from heart of Indian CEOs. The GSLV Mk-III truly lives up to its name of ‘little boy’ with an enormous weight of  640 tonnes. This will prove to be of great help in heavier communication satellites belonging to the INSAT-4 class, that can weigh between 4,500 kg to 5,000 kg. Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited. Indian Space and Research Organization (ISRO) have launched GSLV (Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle) Mark III rocket will be launched into orbit from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh at 5.28 pm on Monday, marking India’s most significant milestone in space technology. So far, only the space agency’s of the US, Russia, France, China, Japan and Europe are capable of satellites weighing 4,000 kilograms and more. The GSLV space programme too faced many challenges in initial years. Also Read - Still Confused About Which Mask to Use?

According to ISRO, the GSAT-19 carries a Geostationary Radiation Spectrometer (GRASP) payload to monitor and study the nature of charged particles and the influence of space radiation on satellites and their electronic components. • GSLV Mark III is 43.43 mm tall and weighs about 640 tons which make its heaviest launch in the world till date. GSLV Mk III, heaviest Indian rocket, will be fired by new desi engine on June 5. According to a senior official from the space agency, the twenty five-and-half-hour launch process began at 3:58 PM on Sunday.
