#4 The launch of GSLV-FO6 was originally scheduled for December 20 but it was deferred after a leak was noticed in one of the valves of the cryogenic engine during the pre-countdown tests.

ISRO scientists carried out extensive tests and hectic discussions over the past few days before deciding on today as the new date for the launch.

"The leak was within the tolerable limit. Some apprehensions were raised. However, after detailed discussions and tests, the scientists said the leak was not alarming," a United News of India (UNI) report had quoted ISRO sources as saying yesterday.
