India Plans to Launch 60 Space Missions

[mkb95]

New Delhi - India is planning to launch at least 12 space missions every year for the next five years, a top official of the state-owned space agency has reportedly said.

“We have already launched 55 missions during the past five years and we are looking at 12 launches per annum in the next five years,” Y.V.N. Krishna Murthy of Indian Space Research Organisation said. Murthy, who is Secretary (science) of the space agency, told the media Wednesday on the sidelines of the Make in India week celebrations in Mumbai.

“We have already launched two missions this year and two more will be launched next month, and the space agency's budget will be around 1.1 billion US dollars this year,” he said.

According to the space official, the next lunar mission, Chandrayan-II, will be launched in 2017-18 and this mission will be different from the earlier one. “Unlike Chandrayan-I which was having only Orbiter and Probe, Chandrayan-II will be having Lander and Rover too, and the Rover will move on the samples and transmit the data to Earth,” he added.

That budget is just dumb, but still props to ISRO for sqeezing so much out of it.

Movies kam dekha kar.
By the way, we may have landed humans on Moon around 2040-50 though. So, could have or very near to land humans on Mars at that time.

I hope India will green-light the Crew Vehicle after the GSLV III (and future ULV) are ready.

In the past 5 years, India had the total of 17 space launches (2011-2015: 3,2,3,4,5), where is this "55 missions" coming from?

With a launch frequency of 12-18 per year.
Looks that you're not updated to news. Go the thread Indian Space Capabilities and there's reference that who it gonna happen.
ISRO will start executing at least one launch per month on average from 2017.
By the way, speed is better than before in 2016 too.
They are managing launches and huge development projects together.

You did not answer my question.

You did not answer my question.

Some launches carried multiple missions.

 

[Skull and Bones]

Please, we need more scientific missions than normal cargo/payload delivery.

Some launches carried multiple missions.

Each satellite counts as one "mission"? Intentional ambiguity between "launch" and "mission"? So in the OP, "12 launches per annum in the next five years" means 12 Launches or 12 missions? Or set out for "launches", use "missions" to fall back on?
