I'm afraid an improvement is due here. 180nm is too dated as a fabrication process. It belongs to the late 90s level of semiconductor technology. Tech has grown leaps & bounds since then. The latest is only 14nm, and while I clearly cannot expect ISRO or any space agency to remain up-to-date...

An excerpt from Prasun K. Sengupta's blog - this was posted just yesterday in a reply to Gessler about some other matter. " A similar revolution is now taking place in the field of nano-satellites. Imagine one of ISRO's launchers being able to deploy a cluster of 20 to 30 satellites into...

I don't get it...the Kudankulam disruptions were caused by NGOs funded & directed by the West. Should I think Russia is trying to return the favor?

No need to wait that long. GSLV Mk-3 launch is scheduled for December 2016. With GSAT-19E as payload.

We are addicted to radiation & we feed off it. :enjoy: Drawn like moths to a fire.

Supposing I used the right form of conversion, what you said means that Izd-30 gives 191kN afterburning thrust. That's as much as the F-35 engine. Truly, a combined A-B thrust of over 382kN would drive the PAK-FA to phenomenal performance levels. May I ask where did you acquire this info?

There is no local alternative in development in the AJT category.

@PARIKRAMA So what's going to be special this time, bro?

New system spotted on Rustom-II MALE as first flight looms (LIVEFIST) Not seen before on any earlier mock-up or on the single existing prototype, spotted a new sensor payload on the belly of the Rustom II MALE UAV, likely its synthetic aperture radar. This was at a two day technology seminar...

No, modern ballistic missiles use solid-fuel propulsion. Cryo is liquid fuel.

We got some attention-seeking hoes here today...

Do not offend the French, we need them yet...for the still heavier payloads that only Mk-3 can lift. :bunny:

GSLV Mk-2 operational flight is successfully completed. This is the 3rd time in a row that the platform has performed as per requirements. Now we're really getting there...

Cryo shutoff done. Satellite separated. Mission success.

Cryogenic propulsion is almost halfway through till shutoff. Everything is good.

Not yet. Cryogenic stage yet to come. Cryogenic ignition successful

1st stage separation done

Launch successful! !

About 2 mins to go

For long we have been beyond the point where a successful PSLV launch was a thing for the whole nation to cheer for - it has become a routine affair. However, the GSLV has given us trouble for a long time. Firstly because of certain incompatibility issues with the Russian cryos we bought, and...
