The aborted Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) is likely to be re-launched ``sometime in May``, union minister for science and technology Murli Manohar Joshi said today. ``The process of removal of fuel had already begun which will take two to three weeks and the launch can be sometime in May,`` he told reporters when asked about the re-launch of the aborted mission.
Joshi said it was a great success for the Indian scientists that they could detect the fault and prevent the mishap. He said he also spoke to the ISRO Chief K Kasturirangan this morning.

The first experimental flight to carry a communication satellite that could have put India in the reckoning for a multi-billion dollars business failed to take off after one of the motors caught fire seconds after ignition.
