Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) on Sunday successfully launched GSLV-D5 rocket, which is powered by an indigenous cryogenic engine, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 4:18 PM IST.
Isro chairman K Radhakrishnan declared the mission a success. He said, "This shows the maturity of the team. We dedicate the proud moment for the country."
Earlier for every satellite, Isro used to depend on countries like Russia to get Cryogenic Engines. Previous Satellites were equipped with cryogenic engines which are imported from Russia. GSLV-D5 is equipped with Purely Indigenous efforts.
With this Great Effort by the ISRO Scientists, INDIA joined the group of very few countries who can create their own cryogenic Engines. Earlier USA, Russia, China, Japan, France were in this Group.
This Satellite Carried Transponders which are very vastly used in Telecommunications, Tele Medicine, Direct To Home Services, Satellite Channels etc. By This the dependency on other country satellites is minimized.
Team Headed by K Radhakrishnan recieved applauds from all over the Country. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, AICC Chairman Sonia Gandhi, BJP Prime Minister candidate Narendra Modi and Various others Praised and appreciated the Hardwork and Efforts of Scientist in Making this Mission a Grand success.
