Sivan said, "After the Cartosat mission, the subsequent launch will be of Gsat-6A that will be lifted off by a GSLV Mk II rocket".
Launch is set for 24th March. GS1 (1st stage) and GS2 (2nd stage) integration have been completed. Cryogenic upper stage has been shipped to launch site and GSAT-6A is fully assembled undergoing final stages of testing. Article (Telugu): http://andhrabhoomi.net/content/nation-6342
I hope there will be a webcast for this GSLV mission because there wasn’t one the last time GSLV went up.
Noticed that in one of the pictures of the rocket being rolled to the launchpad, the second vehicle assembly building is almost completed ?

Any details about the upgraded Cryogenic engine/stage for this vehicle?
