Success! A big step for the Indian Space program! Mastering cryogenic tech is the first step among the many ambitious ones that India will be looking to take!

I think you can assume they are rather pleased about the mission

The naughty boy of ISRO GLSV finally behaves!!!
Meticulous Injection.
Perigee deviation from predicted position: 40 meters
Apogee deviation from predicted position: 50 KMs
Turbo Pump RPM Performance
Predicted Performance: 40,000 RPM
Actual Performance: 39,800 RPM
Booster Turbo Pump RPM Performance
Predicted Performance: 34500 RPM
Actual Performance: 34553 RPM
India becomes 6th nation to develop indigenous cryogenic technology!
Onto GSLV MK-III, Chandrayaan-2 & Semi-Cryogenic Engine
!!!!!Grand Success!!!!!

Cryo thrust change :
7.5 to 9.5 to 8 and back to 7.5 tons!!!!

congratulations...What were the final parameters ?
It was almost a textbook launch. The targeted apogee was 36000 km, the actual apogee is just 50km within this value. Even the achieved perigee is within 0.5% of the desired distance.

I remember that in the few successful GSLV launches using Russian cryo prior to this one the GTO achieved was well short of the intended one because the Russion cryo failed to provide requisite thrust. But today the cryo performed as required delivering the requisite thrust.

Hi...new here...The second stage seems to have ignited for a short time. Was it possible to remove the second stage altogether and use the cryogenic stage all the way.

USSTRATCOM has catalogued a first object (presumably the 3rd stage)
2014-001A/39498 in 160 x 35710 km x 19.41°
(The target injection orbit for GSAT-14 was:
perigee 180+/- 5 km
apogee 35975 +/- 675 km
inclination 19.3 +/- 0.1°)

Amazing! Congrats to ISRO. I was at Sriharikota today to witness the historic launch. Electrifying excitement all over
Looking forward to more successful GSLV launches.
