AGNI 2 LST

The high performance indigenous ring laser gyro-based
navigation system was a success, sources in Balasore said.

The 17-metre long marker pen like Agni-III is 2 metres in
diameter and has a two-stage solid propellant system with a
pay load capability of 1.5 tonnes.
"During the course of the flight, the missile reached a
peak height of 350 kms and re-entered the atmosphere
successfully tolerating the skin temperatures of nearly 3000
degree Celsius," Kar said.
The first trial of Agni-III was conducted on July 9, 2006
and it had ended in a failure. But the subsequent two tests on
April 12, 2007 and May 7, 2008 were successful.
