Launch: PSLV-XL C61 - EOS 09 (aka RISAT 1B), CGUSat, Leap-1 (DS) and 3 foreign satellites 18 May 2025

Better form a defense space agency, whose main aim will be to make sure spy satellites are launched perfectly otherwise if we keep relying on commercial ISRO, then it's over.

As I already mentioned above all four satellites name, their cost if calculated accumulative reaches well above 200 million dollars, I am not counting their strategic benefits that's a different heart attack.

But bureaucracy and always election netas are too much to ask for.

Indian armed forces must come together to form a defense space agency and request PM and DM for this, location of which can be in Andhra.

outsource a few to spaceX. ISRO cannot be trusted to launch all of this on their own.

Why don't you outsource the building of satellites aswell to lockheed martin, GSAT-6A, NVS-02, the satellites which failed in orbit were built by ISRO, so as per your logic ISRO should not be trusted with building satellites either

Has replacement for eos 03 and gsat 6a given
Bcoz I vaguely remember eos 05 was approved
And why hasn't replacement for nvs-01 approved yet

One launched failed and here comes to bhosdapiller back to their RR. Dude they are now declaring ISRO a failure since COVID. Are Chandrayan 3, Spadex, etc. now failure? All these jhantus need to be beaten with stick for their low T energy. No logic, no technical discussion just usual "this didn't happen so everything is bad". And some mahanubhav here wants to go back to the glorious days of us relying on goras and ruskies for even launching weather sats. Why do our public reacts so pathetically to R&D failures & some loss of million $, then in same breath cry about why govt isn't funding R&D. I want to someone to extract the brain of an avg bhosdapiller and do some research on what goes inside their brain, what is the cause of this conflicting behaviour?
