Rocket: GSLV Mk III (LVM3), India's heaviest operational launch vehicle.
Payload: GSAT-19 communication satellite.
Launch details: Launched on 5 June 2017 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.
Why this matters: GSLV Mk III increased India’s capability to place heavier satellites into geostationary transfer orbit, and GSAT-19 was one of the early payloads to demonstrate that capability.
