What made GSLV Mark III's last mission special?

Last Sunday, the country's largest rocket placed 36 satellites in space. The successful launch of OneWeb India-1 mission was a big milestone for the country and the ISRO. Let us find out more about it

Gaganyaan (unmanned) is also part of Isro's mission for 2020-21

In launch vehicles, Isro expects to fly its first small rocket with a carrying capacity of 500-700 kg in the next few months

The mission, named Aditya- L1, will be launched in the first half of 2020

Isro would be adjusting the travel time by tweaking the earth-bound and the lunar-bound phases, according to officials

The mission could also pave the way for manned missions into space

In its first developmental flight, the GSLV-MK III-D1 will carry communication satellite GSAT-19
