GSLV-D5, India's first indigenous cryogenic rocket, launched successfully

[faithfulguy]

It won't be operational for another decade. Just another LCA.

Its already regarded as operational after the first successful launch.

Looks like india rocket has much bigger booster than China rocket!

And looks much better than old version.

 

[Hellfire]

It won't be operational for at least another decade.

This is India we are talking about and we all know about their world famous delays.

I agree mate but surprisingly that shall not be the case anymore. Its operationalized now. Strange I know!

I still don't trust that it was the rocket they are talking about.

I need further video proof.

I don't trust fake Indian pictures.

It was a successful launch. However, this is only a rather light weight rocket. The medium weight launch vehicle still wouldn't be commissioned until the 2017 time frame. Its still a big achievement for India to launch a cryogenic rocket though as India never have any reliable cryogenic rocket.

I'm impressed that India can launch the rocket. It bring pride and joy to people of India. Hopefully, the hungry and the poor can feel better going to bed in their empty stomach knowing that their country had launched a cryogenic rocket.

I was at another thread showing the poor of India. I was upset that Indian government do not do enough to feed its poor. While many Indians here cheer about the successful launch of its first cryogenic engine, the majority of Indians go to bed without a full stomach.

He has a problem. He tries to be moderate but his typical mentality drags him in BS which is specific to a geographical region.

It is already operational.

Most of it is Russian technology which was clandestinely transferred to India.

Commission to Assess the Ballistic Missile Threat to the United States

Between July and October, however, ISRO personnel were found on site in the Russian rocket manufacturing plants that made the cryogenic stages and Indian officials claimed that Russia transferred more than "4/5ths" of the sanctioned production technology.

The remaining 1/5 was either developed by India or, more likely, transferred subsequently by Russia.
