A scaled down model of GSLV Mark3. As the article mentioned, the booster will be used for GSLV Mark3 (shown down below).

As u all can see in the picture, its one huge badazz.^^^^^

The strange thing about the GSLV 3 is that the boosters are almost as wide in diameter as the main rocket. Usually, Russian and American designs have much smaller booster rockets and larger main rockets. However, I have seen the Europeans have a similar configuration .

If India wants to venture into Human Space flight the GSLV 3 just won't be enough. They need to start thinking about a GSLV 4 or something of that sort .

Correct if I'm wrong. If its can carry around 4 tonne to GEO , then is it possible for its to carry around 10 tonne to LEO orbit ?. I think manned space missions are concentrated in LEO.

Congrat India!

With such a big booster, why the payload is only 4,000kg?
