No where in the article it says "Space Power", yet out friend added it just for trolling purposes.

ISRO of all the branches have done extremely well considering their funding. If only the other branches like DRDO learn something from these guys.

We have made a miniature GSLV, it can be taken in a car.

India's Space satellite launch Vehicle family. We have progressed from SLV to GSLV Mk-2. The next stage is GSLV Mk-3 which is expected anytime in 2012 or latest 2013.

The static GSLV Mk III test.

The fact that GSLV-Mk2 was lengthened and made a little top-heavier for this flight with a larger faring (ie. to accommodate higher payload), makes these things look like they would have all contributed to the added stresses that could have tipped things past the failure point during that period of maximum aerodynamic stress.

I think shorter and fatter is okay for a rocket, since it's punching out of the atmosphere sooner rather than later. If you're making a hypersonic aircraft, let that be long and skinny, for prolonged atmospheric flight path.

I think ISRO should try to regain the initiative and move to directly flight test the GSLV-Mk3, albeit with a dummy payload rather than an expensive telecom satellite.
