Indian Military Satellite delayed

Military satellite delayed again by a year - The Times of India
Indian Military Satellite delayed for one year more

our intelligence agencies like RAW NTRO etc have spy satellites under use but our military does not when we perfect GSLV we will launch numerous satellites for each service of the military and there would be no "turf wars" as each spy satellite would be tailor made for the respective service

the satellite is ready but we have no launch vehicle to inject the satellite into orbit maybe we should ask French or Russians to launch for us.

Yeah thats true but there are many military satellites planned. I think ISRO and DRDO should set up a separate defence chapter of ISRO something like Defence space research organisation.

There are 7 IRNSS satellites and atleast 1 satellite for each of the 3 arms of our armed forces. I have also heard that demands for extra satellites for IN and IAF already has emerged even before the 1 satellite planned for them. IN is looking for atleast 3 satellites. There is an indication of atleast one more powerful spy satellite for our spy agencies.

the satellites are ready but there is no launch vehicle to launch them we need to use Russian or French vehicle it will be faster sometimes Swadeshi can wait because equipping military with latest intelligence equipment is crucial

Thats BS...if satellites were ready GOI would have given sanctions for launch from anywhere MOD wanted. Space is given top priority in 2012-2022 plan.

GSAT has been ready for a while but no launch due to lack of a medium lift launch vehicle which is why GSLV needs to be perfected

 

[lepziboy]

RISAT only weighs 1,780kg PSLV can take that

RISAT with Indian SAR has been ready for a while but no launch due to lack of a medium lift launch vehicle which is why GSLV needs to be perfected

RISAT planned launch was in 2012 and you are saying it was built before time ? If its true it will be a record.

^^^ my bad i got RISAT confused with GSAT

GSAT-5P was lost in the GSLV failure

I was listening to the ISRO director's address after the successful launch. He said the RISAT and associated projects are ready and now waiting on GSLV Mark II and Mark III

Megha tropiques weighed only a 1000 kg compared to RISAT's 1780.....The PSLV cannot handle it.

PSLV can inject RISAT into LEO but not HCO or GTO

 

[lepziboy]

But ISRO is developing PSLV-HP which will be able to launch 2 ton satellites

 

[indiatester]

Are these military satellites under the control of the armed forces or do the scientists still have to handle them?

under the space wing of the respective force in the integrated space cell.

We should do it ASAP...

Send them via help france or russia.
