ISRO Set To Test ‘Game-Changing’ Rocket: Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up to test a heavyweight rocket. Chairman A S Kiran Kumar said the organisation is planning to undertake the first developmental flight of a “game-changer” rocket capable of launching four-tonne class of satellites from Sriharikota spaceport next month. ISRO rockets (launch vehicles) at present have the capability to launch satellites up to 2.2 tonnes; it depends on international launchers to orbit satellites heavier than that.
