If you have $2B for capital expenses per year, you will get the above Navy for a total worth of $80B after 40 years

It is not ludicrous. That is how long range planning is done. Whenever govt increases the capital expenses, the plan will respond and change accordingly

I think they might use the satellite propulsion to be used in Chandrayaan - 2 to be used as 4th stage of PSLV. That might increase the payload capacity. Lets see when that happens. Otherwise they have to extend the 2nd stage to L-60, but length might be problem as it might exceed design limits or th...

ISRO is a guru and Shikshak in the truest sense of the word.

This is having a visi...

I will hazard a guess estimate for functional RLV of 10T to LEO. Based on http://www.ghostnasa.com/posts/012arescantfly.html Correction improvements are welcome.

Any failure in the key programs will stop major investments into other. Here in this case, failure of GSLV put to stop many things. Even now any failure will stop lot of things in tracks How ISRO was able to survive is because of PSLV and no failures originating from it. It may not be prudent to thi...

Whether it is by orbiting INSATs (my uncle still calls everything that is in GEO as INSAT!) or by orbiting Astrosat. All ISRO satellites are derived from same INSAT satellite bus, its known for variants such as I-1K, I-2K etc. The other series they are now developing are the IMS ones. So he may be ...

Moreover ISRO need only recover the 2nd stage engines and not the entire stage with fuel tanks which makes it a possible venture

My dream..Variants to the RLV could be a. satellite launch vehicle b. space personel trainer (solo quick round trips over equator) c. airforce version for laddoos

What happened to Space shuttle was that NASA mixed the cargo delivery to Human space flight. There was no need for that. They could have done a remote controlled one for cargo delivery and seperate one for Human flights (Human flights are the costlier ones). This would have reduced the cost for carg...

Currently the GSLV MK 3 uses the CE20 engine and once we put the semi cryogenic engine in such a combination, we will have a much bigger rating, which will have a payload capability of 10 ton Better still, get rid of those two huge low isp solid booster and cluster two of those 2MN Lox/hydrocarbon ...

Also, a little, very little, nitpick- they claimed this was the 50th launch from Sriharikota. I can only count 48- 31 PSLV's( including the first, a failure), 9 GSLV's( with 4 failures) 4 SLV's and 4 ASLV's, with failures. Are they including aborted launches as well?
