Agni-III

homegrown nuclear capable long ranged ballistic missile Agni-III from Chandipur Testing Range in Orissa next week.The missile, having a range of over 3,000 km, is expected to be test-fired from launching complex No. 4 of Inner Wheeler Island, a new launch site of the integrated test range (ITR) at the Chandipur defence base.Agni-III was last tested on July 9, 2006 from the same base. After the launch, it was reported that the second stage of the rocket had failed to separate from the missile quickly and had fallen short of its target.The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) had attributed the failure to 'material-related fault', besides problems with the protective heat shield, design and propulsion
