The rocket's second stage engine will shut down at T+plus 4 minutes, 49 seconds. Just a few seconds later, the third stage will separate and ignite to continue propelling GSAT 14 toward orbit.

1050 GMT (5:50 a.m. EST)
 T+plus 2 minutes. The GSLV's core motor has burned out, and the rocket's four strap-on boosters will shut down in less than 30 seconds, followed by ignition of the second stage.
          
1049 GMT (5:49 a.m. EST)
 T+plus 60 seconds. The GSLV has surpassed the speed of sound, and the flight is proceeding normally.

1054 GMT (5:54 a.m. EST)
 T+plus 6 minutes. Officials report the third stage engine is performing within limits.
The third stage engine is designed to produce 75 kilonewtons, or 16,860 pounds, of thrust and burns more than 28,000 pounds of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen during its 12-minute burn.
          
1053 GMT (5:53 a.m. EST)
 T+plus 5 minutes. Launch officials say the second stage has shut down and separated, and the third stage cryogenic engine is now firing. The Indian-built engine is the centerpiece of today's test launch.
