ISRO - General Discussions (3 Viewers)

[ArjunMK1A]

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.

All IRNSS series satellites were pretty much defunct. NVS fixed the problem. But the problem is NVS launch is not being done in faster phase. NVS 1 launched successfully and NVS 2 failed due to satellite thruster failure.

At least launch them in SpaceX rockets lol. They can launch 10-15 launches in the period of 6 months.

I read that 4 of the IRNSS or Navic satellites are functioning well, and they worked superbly in Operation Sindoor. But India definitely needs more.

ISRO is supposed to be our crown jewel & in a class of its own when it comes to PSUs. Yet I see no urgency w.r.t replacements with either ISRO or the Armed Forces / MoD or the GoI on such a sensitive & vital issue of NatSec.

We're in for a good deal of fun if nothing's down about it in a few years .

If it was so much important than till now isro would launch multiple satellites but no.

Lol, now HSF is not in the priority list now , focus is back on SBS-03, hence you see there is no rush from ISRO about it, this Axiom-4 happened exactly because of that.... Most likely H1 mission will never happen..... Even though it's disappointing, I am accepting this new reality now

this is what pratush is like in the lab now so right now we're powering it with batteries eventually there'll be some solar panel equivalent all the electronics can fit on this table and the antenna is this big the antenna Ant size is determined by thefrequency range of operation.

@2:59:17
Looks like some precuser model for pratush to be placed in gap of radio free rfi arround earth before pratush could be sent to far side of moon this might go on POEM before pratush go to moon

Two out of these 3 non ISRO launch vehicles - Skyroot's Vikram 1, Agnikul's Agnibaan and DRDO's Veda- should go up by the end of the calendar year. It would be quite disappointing if they didn't!
