The GSAT-14 spacecraft was placed into a geosynchronous transfer orbit 17 minutes after lift off,. This launch is very crucial for India as the launch took place after two back-to-back failures of GSLV flights in 2010 - the first one with indigenous cryogenic engine on 15th April and the next with a Russian Cryogenic engine on 25th December. The last GSLV launch was on 19th August, 2013 but it was called off minutes before take off due to leakage of liquid fuel from the second stage.
