Bengaluru, Dec 18 (IBNS) Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Thursday successfully launched Geo-Synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark III - with an experimental crew module.
 
GSLV Mark III is intended to launch satellites into geostationary orbit and as a launcher for an Indian crew vehicle. It features an Indian cryogenic third stage and a higher payload capacity than the current GSLV. 
 
GSLV Mk-III X successfully launched the Crew module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment - CARE. 
 
Crew Module (CM) is identified as the payload in GSLV MK-III-X/CARE Mission. CARE is the acronym for Crew module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment. The mission would be used as a platform for testing the re-entry technologies envisaged for Crew Module including validating the performance of parachute based deceleration system. 
 
CARE is expected to enhance the understanding of blunt body re-entry aerothermodynamics and parachute deployment in cluster configuration. 
 
The external configuration of the Crew Module to be flight tested in GSLV MK-III is same as that of manned flight.
 
GSLV Mark III is ISRO 's heaviest rocket ever and weighs the 630-tonne which will thus take ISRO a step closer to sending astronauts to space.
 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has congratulated scientists for successful launch of GSLV Mk-III. 
 
“Successful launch of GSLV Mk-III is yet another triumph of brilliance and hardwork of our scientists. Congrats to them for the efforts”, said the Prime Minister.
