GSLV-D3 Failure Analysis Report (Ref) -
The root cause is the failure of the Fuel Booster Turbo Pump (FBTP) and failed to pump LH2 to the thrust chamber of the Main Engine. Next GSLV with indigenous CUS is planned in a year. In the meantime, next 2 GSLVs would fly with the available Russian CUS.

The stacking up of the three stages of ISRO's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV-F06) in the second launch pad at Sriharikota had begun on July 14 as planned, Mr. Veeraraghavan said. The GSLV-F06 would put in orbit a communication satellite called GSAT-5B.

The integration of the four stages of the PSLV-C16 will begin in the first launch pad in August. The rocket will put in orbit three satellites — Resourcesat – 2, Youthsat and a satellite from Singapore. Resourcesat-2 and Youthsat belong to India. Youthsat will carry a Russian payload as well.

The launch of GSLV-F06, according to the VSSC Director, would take place in October. The PSLV-C16 would lift off two weeks later.

India to launch sea level monitoring satellite “Saral” by 2011

By Frontier India | August 11th, 2010 |

India is expected to launch SARAL (Satellite with ARGOS and ALTIKA) satellite for monitoring the sea water level. SARAL satellite will carry an Altimeter (ALTIKA) for studying the sea surface heights; and ARGOS payload, which is a satellite based data collection platform.
SARAL satellite is a joint project of Indian Space Research Organisation and the French National Space Agency. The ALTIKA and ARGOS payloads are built and supplied by the French National Space Agency. The satellite building and launching are the responsibilities of Indian Space Research Organisation.
The satellite bus is under fabrication at Indian Space Research Organisation. Integration and testing of the payloads are ongoing at the French National Space Agency. The satellite is likely to be launched in 2011.

IRNSS

ISRO is also developing its own navigation system called Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS). The IRNSS will have a constellation of 7 satellites and complementary ground infrastructure. The IRNSS system is planned to be made operational by end of 2014. Government has approved the IRNSS project at a total cost of Rs. 1420.00 crores in May 2006 for both space and ground infrastructure.

The "official" launch date for ASTROSAT is mid-2012 and it is uncertain whether that will be met. There are problems in more than one of the instruments and the availability of a launcher is doubtful, considering how far behind ISRO is.

Hi,

Does anyone know when the GSLV with Indian cryo engine is scheduled to go up again?

After incorporating necessary corrective measures, the flight testing of Indigenous Cryogenic Upper Stage on GSLV is targeted within a year.

In the meantime, the next two GSLVs would fly with the available Russian Cryogenic Stages.
