India's Large Satellite Launcher Returns to Flight

 
It was a day of redemption for India's space program Sunday, when the nation's most powerful rocket returned to the skies for the first time since a booster engine failure doomed a launch last year.

The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle, making its fifth flight since debuting in 2001, blasted away from the Satish Dhawan Space Center on Sriharikota Island. Liftoff was at 1250 GMT (8:50 a.m. EDT), the exact time of sunset on India's east coast.
