Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 4 (PTI) The indigenously built highly sophisticated cryogenic engine is undergoing a final review by ISRO before it is cleared for use in the test launch of the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-D3 later this year.
"We are conducting a final thorough review of the cryogenic engine that will power the GSLV," Indian Space Research Organisation Chairman K Radhakrishnan told PTI on the sidelines of the 97th Indian Science Congress here.
He said a meeting of top scientists involved in the project would be held in Bangalore later this month where the launch date of the GSLV-D3 would also be decided.
Reports had it that ISRO had delayed the launch of GSLV-D3, which would put into orbit the GSAT-4 communications satellite.
"We want to be sure that the cryogenic engine performs as it is designed to.
A slight mistake could put the mission in jeopardy," Radhakrishnan said.
