DRDO fully analysing AGNI III data

Hyderabad, July 11 (UNI) The Defence Research and Development Organisation(DRDO) is analysing the flight data of the maiden flight of Agni III, which failed to hit the target after a successful launch from Balasore on July nine.

''The data analysis is still going on and we will come back to you on its completion at a later stage,'' Agni-III Project Director Avinash Chandra told UNI when contacted.

Agni-III had been slated for maiden launch in 2004, but it had been postponed twice due to technical problems.
