GSLV-F15 lifts off with NVS-02 satellite in Isro’s 100th launch from Sriharikota
46 years after it conducted the first experimental launch of Satellite Launch Vehicle-3 (SLV-3) that unfortunately crashed into the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) created history on Wednesday by completing its 100th launch from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
The GSLV-F15 lifted off in a picture-perfect launch from the second launch pad of India’s spaceport to begin its journey with the second satellite part of India’s Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) system.
The historic 100th launch comes on the back of several big-ticket missions that involve highly successful missions like the Chandrayaan, Aditya L-1, the maiden Gaganyaan developmental flights and several developmental launches of PSLV, GSLV, and SSLV.
