President of India Congratulates ISRO on the successful launch of GSLV-F05

The President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee has congratulated the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on the successful launch of the tenth flight of Indias Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle GSLV-F05, carrying an advanced weather satellite INSAT -3DR.

In a message to Shri A.S. Kiran Kumar, Chairman of ISRO, the President has said, I extend my heartiest congratulations and best wishes to you and your entire team at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on the successful launch of the tenth flight of Indias Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle GSLV-F05, carrying an advanced weather satellite INSAT -3DR.

This launch has demonstrated, yet again, Indias increasing space capabilities. I understand this is the first operational flight of GSLV carrying an indigenously developed Cryogenic Upper Stage (CUS). This will help study weather patterns as well as support surface-level search and rescue operations.

Please convey my greetings to all members of your team of scientists, engineers, technologists and others associated with this mission".
