List of GSLV launches

As of 30 July 2025^[update], rockets from the GSLV family have made 18 launches, resulting in 12 successes, four failures, and two partial failures.^[13] All launches have occurred from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, known before 2002 as the Sriharikota Range (SHAR).

2001–2009
Flight No.	Date / time (UTC)	Rocket, Configuration	Launch site	Payload	Payload mass	Orbit	User	Launch outcome
D1	18 April 2001 10:13	Mk I	First	GSAT-1	1540 kg	GTO	INSAT	Partial failure
	Developmental flight, payload placed into lower than planned orbit, and did not have sufficient fuel to reach a usable orbit.[1]
D2	8 May 2003 11:28	Mk I	First	GSAT-2	1825 kg	GTO	INSAT	Success
	Developmental flight.[14]
F01	20 September 2004 10:31	Mk I	First	GSAT-3	1950 kg	GTO	INSAT	Success
	First operational flight.[15]
F02	10 July 2006 12:08	Mk I	Second	INSAT-4C	2168 kg	GTO	INSAT	Failure
	One of the L40 strap-on engines failed at lift-off. Both rocket and satellite had to be destroyed over the Bay of Bengal after the rocket's trajectory veered outside permitted limits.[16]
F04	2 September 2007 12:51	Mk I	Second	INSAT-4CR	2160 kg	GTO	INSAT	Partial failure
	High roll rate build-up due control system malfunction on one L40 strapon resulted in premature shutdown of other strap-on stages.[17] Due to an error in the guidance subsystem achieved orbit had lower apogee and inclination higher than expected.[18] Orbit corrected through satellite, eventually the INSAT-4CR was placed in its slot.[19][20][21] Satellite completed its planned design life while it was fully operational. ISRO claims this GSLV flight to be successful.[22]
2010–2017
Flight No.	Date / time (UTC)	Rocket, Configuration	Launch site	Payload	Payload mass	Orbit	User	Launch outcome
D3	15 April 2010 10:57	Mk II	Second	GSAT-4	2220 kg	GTO	INSAT	Failure
	First flight test of the ISRO designed and built Cryogenic Upper Stage (CUS). Failed to reach orbit due to malfunction of the Fuel Booster Turbo Pump (FBTP) of the cryogenic upper stage.[23]
F06	25 December 2010 10:34	Mk I	Second	GSAT-5P	2310 kg	GTO	INSAT	Failure
	First flight of GSLV Mk.I (c). Aft shroud of upper stage engine bay disintegrated due to aerodynamic loads, snapping the electrical continuity to L40 strapons.[24][17] Vehicle was destroyed by range safety officer after loss of control over liquid-fueled boosters.[25]
D5	5 January 2014 10:48	Mk II	Second	GSAT-14	1980 kg	GTO	INSAT	Success
	The flight was scheduled for 19 August 2013, but one hour and 14 minutes before the lift off, a leakage was reported and the launch was halted.[26] Second flight of GSLV with indigenous cryogenic upper stage (CUS) developed by ISRO's Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) was launched successfully on 5 January 2014.[27][28] It was a launch with precision of 40 m (130 ft). All the three stages performed successfully.[29][30] This was the first successful flight of the cryogenic stage which was developed indigenously in India.
D6	27 August 2015 11:22	Mk II	Second	GSAT-6	2117 kg	GTO	INSAT	Success
	GSLV Mk II D6 with an Indigenous Cryogenic Engine (ICE) successfully ferried GSAT-6 payload into Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) with injection parameters of 170 km x 35945 km, 19.96° inclination. The cuboid-shaped GSAT-6 satellite includes a technology demonstrator S-Band unfurlable antenna with a diameter of six metre which will provide S-band communication services during its expected mission life of nine years.[31][32][33]
F05	8 September 2016 11:20	MK II	Second	INSAT-3DR	2211 kg	GTO	INSAT	Success
	First operational flight of GSLV Mk II. The injection parameters were met with extreme precision. Perigee was within 300m (within 0.18%) of the expected value whereas apogee was within 0.2% (80 km). The difference between expected and actual inclination degree was 0. INSAT-3DR is an advanced atmospheric weather satellite. as well as the second heaviest satellite placed in orbit by an indigenous cryogenic engine propelled GSLV[34][35][36]
F09	5 May 2017 11:27	Mk II	Second	GSAT-9 / South Asia Satellite	2230 kg	GTO	INSAT	Success
	South Asia Satellite was previously named as South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Satellite.[37][38][11]

F08	29 March 2018 11:26	Mk II	Second	GSAT-6A	2140 kg	GTO	INSAT	Success
	Used an enhanced version of the Vikas engine called High Thrust Vikas Engine (HTVE) which had a thrust of 848 kN (191,000 lbf) in GS2 stage. Electro-hydraulic Actuation used for gimballing in GS2 stage was replaced by more reliable Electro-Mechanical Actuation.[39][40][41][42][43][44][45]
F11	19 December 2018 10:40	Mk II	Second	GSAT-7A	2250 kg	GTO	INSAT	Success
	Used an enhanced version of the Vikas engine called High Thrust Vikas Engine (HTVE) along with uprated cryogenic engine C15.[46][47][48][49]

F10	12 August 2021 00:13[50][51]	Mk II	Second	GISAT-1 / EOS-03	2268 kg	GTO	ISRO	Failure
	Carried EOS-03, a geostationary multi-spectral imaging satellite. The third stage failed to ignite, leading to the loss of the mission. The cause of failure was found to be a 50 millibar drop in pressure in the Liquid Hydrogen tank of the Cryogenic Upper Stage (CUS)[52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]
