Aug 19 launch date:

http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/indigenous-cryogenic-engine-to-power-gslvd5-on-aug-19/article5008029.ece

A 72 Hour count down has already begun [info from unidentified source].

Countdown even before vehicle rollolut from VAB to launch pad !! ? This is unlikely as the launch is still a week away.

How magestically does it stand waiting to succeed? All eyes of the whole world is on that white vehicle standing with dignity on the launch pad.

Great photos!!

"ASS is realized for servicing GSLV Mk-III launch where water from a new Overhead Tank is programmed to be injected onto the flumes of rocket exhaust during lift-off from T-2 seconds to T+13 seconds."

Video Imaging system is installed on the the vehicle. Hope they telecast the video and not just use it internally.

Gee, so hopefully this time we'll get to see some onboard footage from the rocket's perspective, as it takes off from the ground and ascends to orbit?

That's certainly one thing I've been missing while watching ISRO launches, in comparison to NASA and SpaceX launches. Seeing onboard video showing the progress of the flight is a lot better than watching ISRO's typical boring plotgraphs. This is long overdue.

T-48 hours...the anxiety is starting to kick in. i really hope this launch is successful because if it isn't it will set back chnadraayan-2 and a potential mars follow on mission.
