India took a giant leap forward toward its ambitious goal of sending humans into space by launching an unmanned crew capsule with a powerful rocket.
ISRO [Indian Space Research Organization] launched the 630-ton rocket from its facility at Sriharikota on the country's southeast coast. It was the first flight test of an improved version of the GSLV [Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle] rocket.It can carry up to 10 metric tons of cargo into low Earth orbit and up to 4 metric tons into geostationary transfer orbit once it is operational.
