ISRO to flight-test GSLV with indigenous cryo on August 19

[karan21]

This flight is crucial for our future missions in space. If it fails expect a freeze on many Indian projects and also cuts in funding. If it is successful expect an approval for manned space flight.

Why don't they use Kaveri engine instead of CE-7.5, isn't Kaveri's thrust is more than 73KN..

Use my A$$ , My thrust is more than that ! Seriously !?

Proposal send to DRDO!!

If approved, they will use it in place of kaveri else use for some other purpose. It is going to be used any way. Keep it ready.

Was watching a news channel and the news was like... this launch is crucial and ISRO is only left with 1 more cryo engine..... What does that mean???? (or is it a goof up by the media as usual)

We only have one more Russian cryogenic engine left, as usual our media-persons and journos probably did not bother with the specifics. The Russian cryo engine as it is did not operate properly and has many glitches for some reason or the other (design seemed to be perfect but perhaps there were manufacturing defects)- but regardless this launch is crucial since it will be the proof of the indigenous cryo engine.
