SRIHARIKOTA, India (ISRO PR) — Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-F10 (GSLV-F10) will launch Earth Observation Satellite, EOS-03 from the Second Launch Pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota. The launch is tentatively scheduled at 0543 Hrs IST [0013 UTC] on Thursday, Aug. 12 [08:13 p.m. EST on Wednesday, Aug. 11], subject to weather conditions.
