India successfully launch Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) on Sunday, following launch at 10:48 UTC. It has ended a run of four consecutive launch failures by deploying the GSAT-14 communications satellite. The mission – from the Second Launch Pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre – was a realigned attempt, following the scrub and rollback for repairs on the rocket last year.
The Satish Dhawan Space Center, located in Sriharikota, India, has been the site of all of India’s orbital launches. Originally known as the Sriharikota High Altitude Range, or Sriharikota Range, it was named after ISRO’s second chairman, Satish Dhawan, following his death in 2002. The launch took place from the Second Launch Pad at the center.
