(Source: PTI photo)India plans to launch next month its most powerful rocket that is capable of transporting a heavier 4-tonne communications satellite and described as a “game-changer” in the first of its kind space mission. GSLV Mark-III will be India’s most powerful launch vehicle built to lift the heaviest Indian communications satellites to space. Because of the absence of a powerful launcher, ISRO currently launches satellites above 2 tonnes on European rockets for a big fee.
