India's most powerful homegrown rocket GSLV Mk III is set to launch Monday. The 43-metre (140-foot) rocket is scheduled to lift off just before 5:30 pm from the southern island of Sriharikota, one of two sites used by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to launch satellites. The GSLV Mk III rocket will carry a satellite weighing more than three tons into a high orbit above Earth, a landmark achievement as India had struggled to match the heavier payloads of other space giants.
