Jai Ho India!

Move over reel Bahubali, the real life Bahubali has arrived. ISRO has made India proud again by putting the heaviest rocket into the space. Now India is in the heavy weight club.  The most powerful rocket GSLV mark III was launched on Monday (yesterday) i.e. the fifth of June. The media has nicknamed this heavy payload rocket as ‘Fat Boy’. This heavy rocket was fired by a high thrust indigenous cryogenic engine, lifted off at 5:28 pm, on 5^th June at Sri Harikota. The launch also proves the home ground launch vehicle’s capability of carrying four payloads into the higher orbits.

The US sanctions on India in 1992 prevented ISRO from getting cryogenic engine technologies from Russia. This took the space agencies over 20 years to develop indigenously the complex cryogenic technologies. Thanks to the US sanctions the development of the indigenous cryogenic engine has put India into an elite club of nations- the US, the European space agencies, Russia, China and Japan which have mastered this complex technology.

GSLV mark III has set the stage for ISRO’s future mission adventures which includes manned mission. The cost of the manned machines might be around four billion rupees. If this fund is granted, 2-3 member human crew can be sent to the space. So far the US, Russia and China have human flight programs.

India took a giant step in the highly competitive space market with this launch. The heaviest rocket weighs around 640 tons and placed successfully GSAT-19 communication satellites in the orbit. India demonstrated its capability to launch higher class communication satellites.

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister laid the foundation for the scientific development in India. Despite sanctions or because of the sanctions India successfully developed indigenous technology which proudly demonstrates Prime Minister Modi’s vision…….

Make In India.
