If the trial is successful, it will club India into a select band of countries in the world to possess the technology for Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM).
The surface-to-surface missile Agni V which can carry a pay-load of 1 tonne is 17 m long, 2 m wide and weighs 50 tonnes.
Scientists associated with Agni V project are quite optimistic about its performances, as the first trial of Agni V on November 15 last year was highly satisfactory in terms of its 'control and guidance' system.
The 5000 km range Agni V missile would add another feather to such class of missiles that India possesses at present. The Agni-I has 700 km, Agni-2 (2,000 km), Agni-III and IV (3,000 plus km) range.
