List of launches made by ISRO on GSLV

Sriharikota: With an eye on manned space missions, ISRO on Thursday successfully tested the atmospheric re-entry of a crew module after its heaviest launch vehicle, GSLV Mark-III, blasted off from Sriharikota.

GSLV Mark-III launch is significant as it had a Crew module Atmospheric Re-Entry Experiment (CARE) mission. This is basically a capsule that was taken above the earth's atmosphere by the rocket, and then sent back to earth.

It's ISRO's latest rocket and capable of taking satellites weighing 4-tonnes and more. ISRO is planning manned missions in about five years from now.
