India identifying site for third satellite launch pad
New Delhi: India is considering setting up another satellite launch pad at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh, which is expected to boost the launching frequency of Indian satellites, it was stated Wednesday in the Lok Sabha.
Great news,they should also accelerate the development of the new United Launch Vehicle system
ULV is not a new series of Rocket, nor can it be a successor to GSLV Mk3. Its just the capability to integrate different propulsion systems based on the mission requirement. We will attain this capability when the development work of Semi Cryogenic Engine (SCE) and the the Indian Cryogenic Engine (ICE) is complete.
We already have the ULV capability in Medium lift category. PSLV XL is a classic example.
Then we should start the dev of next gen launch vehicles,our launch capabilities when compared to the likes of US,Russia & China are laughable
We are fulfilling our nation's demands at a far cheaper rate than the above three, besides, the ULV concept will employ advanced propulsion systems which would give our Rockets an equal reach.
Yes but don't you think this Space Race is very similar to the Naval race before,i don't know about you but i don't want India to be caught on the wrong side of history again.As our economy recovers it is Imperative that we invest more in Space & ISRO gets results so not even 1 penny will be wasted
Its not always about the capability, but in a country like India even the requirement matters. Did you not see how much criticism ISRO had to face when they launched mission to moon and Mars despite being successful?
there are 1.2 billion people,any idiot will free time will jump to crtises ISRO,these fake A$$ concerns should be brushed aside & we should invest heavily in Space & Nuclear Energy
True,, But we are still a poor country and cannot afford to invest like the west does.
