A brand new Indian launch vehicle designed to eventually take humans into orbit launched today from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in India.
The rocket called the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark 3 successfully launched December 18th 2014 at 04:00 UTC. The rocket carried a test space capsule which will splash down in the Bay of Bengal.
The rocket takes with it a Crew module Atmospheric Re-Entry Experiment (CARE) mission. This is basically a capsule that will be taken above the earth's atmosphere by the rocket, and then sent back to earth.
