Sriharikota (Andhra Pradesh), Sep 8 : The launch of an Indian Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) rocket carrying weather satellite INSAT-3DR has been rescheduled by 40 minutes owing to delay in filling of fuel in the cryogenic stage, said a senior official.
"Some technical anomaly was found during the filling of fuel in the cryogenic engine. The issue was sorted out and the fuelling operations have restarted. Hence the delay," a senior official of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) told IANS.
He said the revised launch time is 4.50 p.m.
Originally the launch time was 4.10 p.m.
