Indian GSLV fails during launch with GSAT-5 P satellite
* GLSV failure: Future space missions under cloud
The Indian Space Research Organization GSLV-F06 launch vehicle has suffered another failure, when it exploded around 60 seconds into ascent. The vehicle was carrying the GSAT-5P telecommunications satellite on Christmas Day, lifting off at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Shriharikota.
The launch was originally rescheduled due to a leak in the Russian cryogenic engine on the third stage of the vehicle. Saturday's failure leaves the ISRO with three failures from their last four launches, an extended record of four failures, one partial success and two successes from their previous seven launches.
