ISRO - GSLV Mk-III Launch Postponed

ISRO has postponed the launch of its GSLV Mk-III rocket to March-April as against the earlier date of Jan 20. Reportedly, the heavy rocket needs to run a few more tests, which include tests for both the vehicle and stages. GSLV Mk-III is the heaviest and most advanced rocket by ISRO. It will be able to carry the 3.2 tonne GSAT-19 satellite into orbit. Its CE-20 cryogenic engine was tested in December.
