Countdown for Launch of 1st Indian GPS Sat

The countdown has begun for the launching of India's first IRNSS satellite, intended to form India's own local version of GPS:


The next launch after this one will be the GSLV-D5 which will once again try to prove the indigenously made Cryogenic Upper Stage engine, something that has eluded ISRO thusfar. It will be carrying GSAT14 into orbit. And the next launch after that one will be the Mars Orbiter Mission to send the Mangalyaan probe to Mars.
