India must specify the Jan 5 launch (and future launches) as that of GSLV Mk 2 and not just GSLV.
This is only the second flight of Mk 2, while the other 6 GSLV flights (2 Success & 4 Failures) were that of Mk 1.
ISRO must now officially announce that the failure haunted GSLV Mk 1 vehicle will no longer be used
or that it is retired and must take it forward with Mk 2. Even in ISRO's official website there is no differentiation between Mk 1 and Mk 2, while Mk 3 is properly differentiated. The fact that the Mk 1 and Mk 2 are not the same must be clarified.
This will also reduce the burden of failures which were actually caused by GSLV Mk 1 which used a Russian Cryo stage
and give more confidense to foreign clients to use GSLV Mk 2 after a few more succcessfull launches.
