    Corrective action took two hours before the vehicle took off at 6.21pm.

    The 49-metre-tall GSLV-F04 is the fifth flight of India’s GSLV and the third operational flight. It has a lift-off mass of 415 tonnes and is a three stage vehicle with solid, liquid and cryogenic stages.

    The INSAT-4CR to be launched into Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) carries 12 high-power Ku-band transponders designed to provide communication services such as Direct-To-Home (DTH) television services, Video Picture Transmission (VPT) and Digital Satellite News Gathering.

    The satellite is designed for a mission life of 10 years. The INSAT-4CR, weighing 2.130kg is to replace an identical satellite, INSAT-4C that was lost following the failure of the GSLV-F02 in July 2006.
