GSLV GSAT-14 Launch Updates - SPACEFLIGHT101
With this, India has joined the "cryo club", a select group of spacefaring nations having the crucial cryogenic engine technology that's necessary to carry heavy satellites. Countries with such a capability are the US, Russia, France, Japan and China.
Not sure if India will place the GSLV-D5 in service for commercial launches outside of its own geostationary satellite launch needs but, it does have the potential to undercut the launch costs with Arianespace and, in the future, SpaceX.
