ISRO will do it - India will do it.

Indian Space Research Organisation set examples to the world how they could do impossibles with limited resources and with a very low budget. They had many setbacks and failures in several missions they still rose like a falcon. They have previously done those impossible feet which stunned the other space agencies in the world including NASA.
 
The highly anticipated launch of the indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) Earth observation satellite -3, or GISAT-1, failed when the rocket hit the lower reaches of space (an altitude of 139 kilometres) following a roughly 340-second journey (5mins 40 seconds). The rocket's first two stages (which provide initial thrust for lift-off and then transport the 52-meter tall spacecraft to orbit) functioned as planned. However, there was a significant departure in the rocket's planned flight path just after it transitioned to its last stage, the cryogenic engine (which burns liquid hydrogen and oxygen). A conventional rocket is made up of two or more stages, each with its own set of engines (either single or grouped in a cluster). Simply described, a rocket is a vertically stacked combination of several engines (stages).

At 5:43 a.m., the rocket took off from the satish dhawan Space Center's second launch pad in Sriharikota, as planned. The rocket's course varied from the planned one after 350 seconds of flight when the payload fairing (the nose cone or protective shell that houses the satellite) had detached.

The live commentary on the national broadcaster Doordarshan's programme had been halted after many minutes of worry and startled stillness at ISRO's Mission Control in Sriharikota. Top isro officials and scientists were seen frantically debating the situation at mission control, while several others had already gotten out of their chairs (something that is done usually after the mission is accomplished successfully)
