ISRO's legendary mission - PSLV C 21 Launched Successfully

[Che Guevara]

Declared, its successful

its ok, India is making money. European lifters are usually the heavier weight rockets and lifting their lighter payload would be overkill. So this is where ISRO fits in. Also, the heavier satellites that india needs is launched by the ESA. So its a symbiotic relationship.

can you please provide the details of european "heavy lift" satelite launch vehicles??

read it up yourself.

Even GLSV MKIII would still have 1/2 of lift capability of Ariane_5. So Indian would be relying on Europe for years to come.

Yooooohoooooooo

I am proud to be an Indian........Thanks ISRO

no problem...They will also rely on India for small and medium size satellite...Since we are most economical to launch satellites and reliable too.......

nop. for heavy communication satellite and Manned missions, gsLVM3 is more than sufficient.

No because the heaviest sats that we launch are not over 6 tonnes. So we should be good. We wont need europeans after 2014. MK3 with 2 more boosters and improved stages will carry upto 15 tonnes to space. Thats more than enough for Indian space station. China did it with LM3b of only 12 tonnes.

there is no doubt in the capability of Ariane-5.

euopeans had Vega (Vettore Europeo di Generazione Avanzata,[2] Advanced Generation European Carrier Rocket) rocket system(Vega (rocket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) which was ideal for today's mission,but ISRO's PSLV launched it.

If our GSLV MKIII goes as planned,we won't have to depend on them unless we have some "super heavy" mission that comes up.But for the immediate future our needs can be catered by GSLV MKIII.If GSLV MKIII becomes a failure,we may seek their help

Proud on our hard working scientists and ISRO!!!

congrats to ISRO on successful launch of 100th mission!

You guys need to think further. China's lack of true heavy lifting capability is hindering their launch of experimental space station and their first true space station. So once India get a Mk3 going, it will start to feel its limitations. Eventually, India will need a true heavy lift rocket for over 20+ tons

GSLV around the corner.....waiting for another proud moment....afterall how many countries in the world has this capabilities

Its best to refrain from talking about GSLV and let a successful launch speak for itself. No need to brag about anything when its successful.

true said. Well I am sure that the calculations for bigger rockets and engines are already done. Development will still take a decade or more. India will trail China by a decade or more. Not because India couldn't do those missions because India choose to do them later. Indian space mission started 12 years later than China. We r doing fine. I am happy to see Chinese space station.

GSLV mk4 atleast 6 tonnes to gto

after all developments in space is for the entire mankind!
