GSLV D5 launch called off

The Indian space agency Monday called off the launch of its heavy
rocket geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle (GSLV-D5) due to
leak in the second-stage engine.
The fresh launch date will be announced later, said a spokesman of
the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
Nearly two hours before the scheduled blast off at 4.50 p.m. while
the cryogenic engine was being fuelled up, scientists and officials
at the mission control centre suddenly became excited and were
huddled in a series of discussions.
Space scientists in the mission control centre gathered in small
groups around some monitors.
The countdown was put on hold for some time and an emergency
meeting of scientists was called and a decision was taken to hold
the launch.
