ISRO - General Discussions (4 Viewers)

On space front, we seems totally loss.

Too much cooking is going on with poor manpower.

1. Launch Systems.
2. Planetary Expolorations to Mars, Venus, Moon.
3. Human Flight
4. Space station
5. Commercial launch services.

Just too much work is going on and ISRO is running at traditional DPSU style delivery. They need to figure out to have some priority list or get ready to increase salary and try to attract talents, in that way increase the manpower.

Or

Get ready to drop entire Launch system business into Public-Private venture. PSLV, SSLV, LVM3. GSLV and upcoming NGLV. Let ISRO designs them and Private partner build them fully. Separate this and commercial launch services (Already done). Now ISRO will deal with 2,3 and 4 only.

@Anonymous Bharata, what launches by ISRO can we definitely( or just about) see go up by the end of the calendar year.

There is of course NISAR (GSLV Mk2) in a few weeks. And soon after Blue Bird 2 by LMV3. These are certain.

What else? An SSLV, 2 or 3 PSLVs? A comsat, GISAT-2?

I realise Gaganyaan-1(uncrewed) is optimistically slated for a year end launch. More likely several months after that.
