This is actually really sad. We should really have surpassed Russia by now. We have the capability yet not the intent. For example we can make a IRNSS coverage for all of the asian landmass + the Indian ocean for the cost of the delhi mumbai expressway.Let's not even get into the RR of satellite internet. Tens of satellites should be launched by us every year. We have the knowhow we have the money yet everyone is waiting for some divine intervention before actually doing anything.

How will they manage so many programs at the same time ?
CH-4,CH-5,Gaganyaan,BAS,NGLV,Venus Orbitter,MLM are all planned in 2028-2030 timeline....

Simple most of them will slip, CY-4 will definitely slip, CY-5 will be launched on Japs H-3 rocket

 

[Anonymous Bharata]

Probably low earth orbit? LVM3 did place nearly 6 tonnes into LEO for the OneWeb satellites 2 years ago.

This is almost certainly LVM3 M5. M6 is not, as per Anonymous Bharata, going to launch Gaganyaan-1. So M6 will be a comsat or an earth observation sat into GEO, like G2.

M6 is a com sat, G1 will launch Gaganyaan -1

2 back to back moon missions, 1 venus mission, 1 mars mission, NGLV,TLP,LME-1100, BAS, SBS-03, all approved in less than a year

I think time line be around 15 years for all mission to complete.

Will there be more PSLV launches this year. It would be reasonable to expect 5 between now and December!

 

[FalconSlayers]

Nope, Most likely early 2026

Why exactly?

Crewed mission will only be after 2028, most likely in 2030

Are they facing issues in development of the systems?

 

[Indx TechStyle]

i know it sounds like 'khayali pulao' and irrelevant in these days but

any scope for ISRO developing..."Space Artillery" ?

i think Baba Kalyani is right contender for forging stuff related to this hypothetical project

GIRI (Gadanki Ionospheric Radar Interferometer) is Indian counterpart of HAARP.

Probably item number #1523 and #2567 in list of things to do for ISRO

Where?

No, we have the intent but not the capability to carry out 10+ launches in an year.

GIRI...?! First time even hearing about it...please elaborate

Yep. India simply doesnt have the funds to launch satellites like candy into the atmosphere - As people dont remember, we do not have recoverable launch vehicles, nor do we have the YUUGE soviet era state funding of Roscosmos- which despite being cut back drastically from post USSR days was still giant in funding compared to ISRO.
This is why we cannot compete with Cheen-Rus-USA in launch capacity. Yet, we do well in total satellites launched/launch capacity and until India has a real demand for satellite based technologies in private sector AND has re-launch capacity or gets 3x richer like Russia is to us per capita, ISRO wont be a main player in space industry.

Why does per capita matter when the aggregate GDp of India is larger than Russia? In fact if India ‘s per capital is equal to Russia we would get less Human Resources for the same money.
