Countdown tomorrow

BANGALORE APRIL 6. In a major step prior to the launch of India's multi-purpose satellite, INSAT-3A, later this week, the European space consortium, Arianespace, has given the go-ahead following the launch readiness review held at the spaceport of Kourou in French Guyana, South America.

With this, all is set for the Ariane-5 rocket's rollout from the final assembly building to the launch zone tomorrow, sources told PTI here today. This would be followed by the final countdown on April 8.
