GSLV Launch

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), GSLV-F06 suffered another defeat when it exploded about 60 seconds into the ascent. The vehicle was equipped with satellite GSAT-5P Christmas Day, take-off at 10:34 GMT clock from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Shriharikota. The launch was due to a leak in the cryogenic engine from Russia in the third phase of the vehicle.

Launch of India:

The geostationary satellite launch vehicle (GSLV) is able to place satellites INSAT-class II (2000 to 2500 kg) in geostationary transfer orbit (GTO).

The vehicle is a standard three-stage GSLV GSLV is 49 m high, with 414 tons. Has a maximum diameter of 3.4 m in the cap. The first stage consists of four booster liquid-S125 (A40) Strap-Ons. The second stage (GS2) is the driving fluid and the third stage (GS3) is a young stage. The car developed a takeoff thrust of 6573 kN.

The first flight of the GSLV took place from SHAR to 18 April 2001 with the launch of the 1540 kg GSAT-1.

Edition was followed by four others, GSLV-D2 8th Mai 2003 (1825 kg GSAT-2), GSLV-F01 20th September 2004 (1950 kg EDUSAT), GSLV-F02, 10 GSLV-F04 in July 2006 on 2 September 2007 (2130 kg INSAT-4CR) and GSLV-D3 to 15 April 2010.

Two of his three previous flights have no success, most recently with the launch on 15th April ended GSAT-4 - by an abnormality of the fuel pump Turbo Booster (FBTP) of the third phase.

Saturday leaving the failure of ISRO, three failures of the last four versions, the four defaults track, partially successful and multiplies two goals in the last seven shots.

The vehicle launch GSAT-5P was higher than six feet and four-ton, compared to its standard configuration. The Russian made cryogenic engine was supplied with 15.2 tons of fuel (liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel and oxidant), an increase of around three tonnes and an increase in the length of the engine.

The missile had a heat shield over - four feet in diameter and is made of fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) - compared with the default settings of 3.4 meter diameter aluminum alloy metal.

Although the present GSLV mixed in their assets, will continue to make ISRO with the development of GSLV Mk III - which is expected to debut in 2012. This vehicle is designed to fully rely on them ISRO heavier communication satellites in the INSAT-4 class with a weight 4500-5000 Start kg, with the ability of the mission start GTO, LEO polar orbits and a half.

GSLV-Mk III is designed to provide a three-stage vehicle, with 42.4 m high, with a starting weight of 630 tonnes. The first stage consists of two identical solid booster S200 (LSB) with 200 tonnes of solid propellant, the second stage, the liquid phase of the L110 are reattached. The third step is the cryo LOX/LH2 C25. Measures for the payload fairing diameter of 5 m and can accommodate a load capacity of 100 cubic meters

GSAT-5P - with extended C-band transponders 24 and 12 C-band transponders - is designed to communications services, increasing the current through the system of India National Satellite (INSAT) is provided. It aims to television and telephone services and distance learning to improve.

The satellite, ISRO Satellite Centre was developed in Bangalore, was the fifth of the GSAT series. He had a mission expected life of 12 years.
