Countdown for PSLV-C18 launch to begin at 0900hrs on Oct 10

ISRO is one of the few space organizations which have the potential to compete with NASA in the future!!!!!

In the distant future that is.NASA is way ahead of us in almost every sphere.there is simply no comparison.

All the best ISRO...

what a silly wet dream.

look at this PSLV, 3ton LEO, 1ton GTO, most space powers don't have such rocket, for example, China doesn't have any rocket in such low quality, low capacity range.

You maybe correct, but consider if the need arises for specifically launching smaller and nano sats then such config is the most efficient and economical way to achieve it. You dont expect to use a space shuttle to launch mini sats. do you??

Regarding higher payload capability you are right that we are not there yet. But we are vey well on the right path.

good luck Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), my sincere wish to see another Asian country to be sucessed in space

realy my friend.(in hindi "sachhi me")

ISRO's just been nailin' it for India. Thank god, corruption seems to have it's boundaries when concerning Space Research. Best of luck to India!

are you the same navy seal which attacked Abbotabad and killed Bin Laden, your enemy no one if it is then i am ready to accept":your best of luck.

I will answer your question in two parts, as this is my area, I can give you very detailed yet very easy to understand analysis:

1. No, it is not economically feasible to launch so called smaller/nano satellites using such rocket. The best proof is those 1960s/1970s rocket capable of launching 500kg payloads are all gone. Why? because it is not economically feasible to do so.

If you look at real space powers, they do 15-20 launches every year, you can just piggyback some nano satellites during those launches. You don't build crap rocket to launch some nonsense experimental satellite.

Also, you need to think about the fact that this PSLV is the most capable rocket india has. GSLV already failed, let's be honest with ourselves, 5 failures out of 7 launches, success rate is 28%! It is dead, Period. PSLV is the most capable rocket, and do you believe it to be the most economic one? I don't.

2. india is not on a right path to a space nation. The first thing you need is honesty and integrity. With failure records seen in the GSLV project, the entire GSLV project should be axed. If you don't agree, name a single rocket failure that failed 5 times out of 7 launches and didn't get axed. I can't name any.

GSLV is not high end, it is comparable to our current med range crap which we will retire in a couple of years, do you think it is a good idea to keep this GSLV project burning tax money? I don't see it as a wise choice.

here I am not trying laugh at india's space program, as suggested above, GSLV should be axed so india's space program can really move on. this is called common sense.

a common pattern of india failure is:

proposal a great idea --> spend decades to build it --> refuse to actually build the foundation, just want the great outcome from nothing --> project in trouble --> refuse to acknowledge it --> project get delayed again and again --> the project no longer look fancy after decades --> buy western tech to integrate it into the project --> announce project to be successful.

Arjun
LCA
GSLV

all same problem

when there are 10+ failed Chinese jet program, when there are a few failed Chinese rocket program, don't you feel strange that none of the arjun/LCA/GSLV projets were announced as failure? .

yes, same old problem again: honesty and integrity.

I don't see why such a lightweight rocket need to be moved in this way.

we only do this with our biggest rocket CZ-2F.

We dont need a rocket to shoot the satellite to Mars.We need to place it in its desired orbit.

What an ignorant fool.Go back to your school.

I'm surprised, sometimes your talks make sense.
