Bangalore: The flight test of rejuvenated Geo-synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV-D5) with indigenous cryogenic engine is likely to take place on January five from the space port of Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh, Indian Space Research Organisation said.
ISRO's Mission Readiness Review (MRR) team will meet on December 27 to take a final call on the launch of GSLV-D5.
Its mission was aborted at the 11th hour on August 19, this year due to a fuel leak in its second stage.
“We have targeted the launch on January 5 afternoon; MRR team will meet on December 27 to take stock of the readiness and will finalise the date and time for the launch,” ISRO spokesperson Deviprasad Karnik told PTI.
GSLV-D5 will put the communications satellite GSAT-14 into orbit.
