GSLV-D2 space rocket
Space rocket on the launch pad. This is the Indian Space Research Organisations Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) D2. It was 49 metres tall, and had a lift-off weight of 414 tonnes. This rocket used solid, liquid and cryogenic fuel for propulsion. It launched GSAT-2, an experimental communications satellite, into Earth orbit on 8 May 2003. It also carried four experimental payloads. The payload is contained in the topmost part of the rocket. GSLV- D2 launched from Sriharikota, an island on the coast of the Bay of Bengal, north of Chennai

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the GSLV-D2 space rocket, standing tall on the launch pad. As a remarkable creation of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), this Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) D2 stands at an impressive height of 49 metres and weighs a staggering 414 tonnes during lift-off. What sets this rocket apart is its unique propulsion system, utilizing solid, liquid, and cryogenic fuel. On that momentous day of May 8th, 2003, GSLV-D2 embarked on a groundbreaking mission to deliver GSAT-2 into Earth's orbit. This experimental communications satellite was accompanied by four additional payloads within the topmost part of the rocket. The Sriharikota launch site in India's Bay of Bengal witnessed this awe-inspiring event unfold as GSLV-D2 soared towards the heavens. This photograph not only captures an extraordinary feat of engineering but also symbolizes India's significant contributions to astronomical advancements. With its technological prowess and dedication to scientific research, ISRO continues to push boundaries in space exploration and transportation. The vastness of our universe unfolds before us through images like these—reminding us how small we are in comparison yet inspiring us with endless possibilities for discovery beyond our planet's atmosphere. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this iconic moment from ISRO's history—a testament to human ingenuity reaching for the stars.
