The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle, GSLV-F06, carrying India's communication satellite GSAT-5P, disintegrates moments after lift-off from Sriharikota, near Chennai on Saturday. Photo: V. Ganesan

Debris from the exploded GSLV-F06 are seen in the sky over Sriharikota on Saturday. This is the second consecutive GSLV mission failure this year. Photo: V. Ganesan

The GSLV-F06 explodes into a ball of fire shortly after its launch from Sriharikota on Saturday. Indian Space Research Organisation chairman K. Radhakrishnan said the launch failed because control and command did not reach the activation system. Photo: V. Ganesan

White, reddish-orange and dark-grey smoke and debris fill the sky over Sriharikota as the GSLV-F06 exploded moments after its launch on Saturday. According to ISRO chief K. Radhakrishnan the controllability of the launch vehicle was lost 47 seconds after lift-off. Photo: V. Ganesan

The GSLV-F06 ascended into the sky majestically, giving no hint of the disaster that awaited it. As it was climbing into the sky, the rocket lost it trajectory and exploded. Flaming debris from the rocket came down in a shower over the Bay of Bengal. Photo: V. Ganesan

In a setback to the ISRO's space programme, the GSLV-F06 mission, to place the state-of-the-art Rs.125-crore communication satellite, GSAT-5P, went up in smoke at Sriharikota on Saturday. Photo: V. Ganesan

What are you talking about...the GSLV has had only 7 launches. 3 have been failures.2 have been partial failures(satellite put in at lower altitude) and 2 have been successes.

the successful rate(less than 30%) is far too low for rocket launch which normally incurs multi-million dollars lose if it fails.

What is the problem in 'aarry'? You are posting same image multiple times but never seen you posting when ISRO launches successfully. Where you go than?

There are some problems regarding GSLV, mainly with cryogenic stage. But PSLV has good success rate. 16 out of 17.

Main yahan ... hoon yahan .... hoon yahan .. .Hooooooooon Yahan

No you are not here. When there is a success you do not post, just hide. Now you are posting same thing again and again just because it is a failure. Dont you even bother that you have nothing close to it!!!

We build and launch satellites for other countries as well. What you do?

ISRO lost the control of Geo-Synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV-F06) 47 seconds after its flight. So the destruct command was given 63 seconds after the lift-off. That is the blast you see in the video.

No doubt it is a big set back for us. But we will bounce back. ISRO has mastered the PSLV technology. Once we mastered GSLV we will save millions of dollars that we have to pay EU for heavier communication satellite launch.

YouTube - indian GSLV-D3 failed so did the indigenous cryogenic engine
