India close to be super power with Cryogenic Rocket Technology

GSLV D5 rocket success launches India into elite club of developed countries equipped with Cryogenic Rocket Technology

ISRO's successful mission with GSLV D5 tells a tale of 2 decades old fight to develop indiginous cryogenic rocket technology for sending geosynchronous mission into the space. Indian mission gets a hall mark of success yesterday Sunday, 5th January 2013.

India decides to develop it's own cryogenic technology in way back 1960. But a firm decision came on the table in 1992. United States of America did it's best against Indian interest to achieve the elite technology of super power nations by putting pressures on Russia not to deliver cryogenic rockets to India any more in 1992.

In last 1000 days, Indian scientists faced two failed and one aborted GSLV missions powered by cryogenic rocket technology. With the success of GSLV D5 mission India joins elite club of USA, Russia, France (European Union), China and Japan capable of cryogenic rocket powered technology.

GSLV D5 rocket and it's indigenous technology boost Indian sentiments to project it's image as a super power nation capable in making geosyncronous satellite launches and inter-planetary communications.
