Addressing from the Mission Control Room after the successful
launch of IRNSS 1C, he said the next launch was the most awaited launch of GSLV
Mark III.
While another communication satellites GSAT 16 with 48
transponders was to be launched on board Ariane 5 from the French Guyana in
December, ISRO would launch the next in the IRNSS series IRNSS 1D in the same
month, he said.
GSLV Mk-III will facilitate launching of four ton class of
communication satellites to Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit, benefiting all sections
of the society, including remote and far-flung areas of the country.
