While the 3rd launch pad is being built, the second spaceport in Kulasekharapattinam should be in a fairly advanced state(?)

Advanced enough to have an SVAB and that's how India's yearly launch frequency capability improved from 4-5 to 8-10. We are not doing 10 launches/year for other reasons is a different case.

What's the use of it??

You need to be able to restart in space in order for rockets to be reusable and to do multiple injection points along your orbit.

I think Vikas mostly used up in earth environment not space.

The vertical landing experiment will also use the vikas (ADMIRE project).

Can someone teach me how to read a porkchop plot for earth to mars trip? And teach me the concept of delta V? Why is it an useful calculation tool for determining flight profiles and paths of spacecraft?

May be for NGLV reuse rocket

No . It seems more like a proof of concept using an engine that they are familiar with . I would haver been a lot happier if they were using the CE 20 cause that engine is closer to the proposed methalox engine and is safer .

This engine will be used in Admire test vehicle for VTVL tests,

CE-20 doesn't have enough thrust to build a test vehicle for high altitude VTVL tests

Apart from PSLV do we have plan for private manufacturing for SSLV and LVM-3. Because we are launching very few per year compared to others. Even 1 per month looks an long shot. Will be happy to see an multiple private sectors manufacturing rockets in large scale so we can push dozens of launches per year.

Skyroot and Agnikul must get their acts going this year

Digital beamforming SAR.


Optical inter satellite link.


Microwave photonics for communication.

But ISRO themselves lagging here. They claimed SSLV will be cheaper especially for the current trend of Micro satellites lot of customers launching like the Pixxel ones.

At least SSLV should be produced in high numbers to gain some market share here.

First fully privately PSLV is to be launched this year. These are called PSLV-N series of rockets.

You cannot produce rockets without market. There are not enough satellites India is getting to launch. We are even struggling to maintain launches of existing vehicles except for science missions, leave alone SSLV designed for weekly launches.
