ISRO'S NEW GSLV SERIES EMBRACE EARTHS ORBIT..
NOW INDIA HAS ALSO JOINED THE LIST OF THE COUNTRIES WHICH HAVING SPACE-FAIRING WITH INDIGENOUS CRYOGENIC ENGINE TECHNOLOGY .. VIZ .. INDIA IS NOW BESIDES THE 5 COUNTRIES US, JAPAN, RUSSIA, CHINA AND FRANCE..
Here is a chunk of excerpt from THE ECONOMIC TIMES..
India on Sunday joined the select league of space-faring nations with indigenous cryogenic engine technology, successfully launching its rocket that put a communication satellite in orbit.
The mission's success not only paves the way for the Indian space agency to save launch costs paid to foreign space agencies but also to launch more communication satellites augmenting the transponder capacity to earn more revenue.
The Indian space scientists' toil of around two decades in conceiving the more efficient cryogenic engine technology, which provides more thrust for every kilogram of propellant, spending around Rs.400 crore seems to have come to fruition with the delivery of the GSAT-14 in the outer space.
At precisely 4.18 p.m., the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-Development 5 (GSLV D5) with a deep roar rose into sky with a thick orange flame at its tail, breaking away from the second launch pad here at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre.

At precisely 4.18 p.m., the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-Development 5 (GSLV D5) with a deep roar rose into sky with a thick orange flame at its tail, breaking away from the second launch pad here at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre.
Around 17 minutes into the flight, the 49.13-metre tall, 414.75- tonne GSLV-D5 rocket slung the 1,982-kg GSAT-14 in the intended orbit.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) was to launch this rocket last August but aborted the blast-off just hours before the deadline as fuel started leaking from its second stage or engine.
ISRO's scientists at the mission control centre were visibly happy with Sunday's blast-off. They back-slapped and hugged one another once the rocket ejected the 1,982-kg GSAT-14 into the intended .
