first flight of gslv3 will be with a passive cryogenic engine. No roosi cryo engine involved in this project.

if 2012 why right now they are assembling it right now????

still 2 years for cryo after testing mark2 cryo... so minimum 3 years for GSLV-III

because they denied us the tech and didnt even let us get it from russia. yes it indeed is a true middle finger to usa. us space program is dying a slow death and nothing can stop india.

Their denial already served its purpose. That deal with Russia was in the mid 1990's and now even two decades after we have not perfected the technology yet. So.....

We are trying to reverse engineer the cryogenic engine Russians supplied to us. They gave us 6. I suppose one is dissembled to the last bit to learn from and only one is in ready to launch shape, the four being used or lost like the last launch.
