India's heaviest rocket News
The satellite, also referred to as the 'eye in the sky' due to its surveillance capabilities, along with co-passenger satellites from abroad, will be launched by the PSLV-C38 rocket into a nominal altitude of 500 km.
India's heaviest rocket, the GSLV-Mk III was nicknamed the 'fat boy' by the Indian space scientists but the Telugu media has nicknamed it 'Bahubali'.
The GSLV-MK III-D1 is a three-stage vehicle with two solid motor strap-ons, a liquid propellant core stage and a cryogenic stage (C25).
The notable aspect of this rocket is that the main and bigger cryogenic engine has been developed by space scientists here and will be powering the rocket for the first time.
