VineethG, ISRO has been an open and transparent organization. They have had open and transparent Failure Analysis Boards and open communications. No need to doubt its data. Next think a little before posting. New membership does not mean one can say anything . Thanks, @ramana , Cutting my previous ...

@disha, out of curiosity, would it be possible for external entities like SatBeams to independently verify whether the satellite is functional in the said orbit (i.e its transponders are active and functional)? Or do they merely quote the official info they get from ISRO? There has been a lot of dis...

They simply don’t have enough satellite orbital slots to meet all of those various demands,” says ...

Just a couple of greenhorn questions regarding usage solids and semi-cryo on future launchers.. Apologies if these have been discussed earlier already. I know there are lot of cost advantages for solids in commercial launches. But how good is the idea to use them in a manned launcher? I have read in...

Maybe we do not need to consider that negatively, more so in case the shortfall in GSLV-F04 was due to the Russian cryo stage. It depends a lot on how they define 'partial failure' though. Maybe they classified it so, as the initial orbit achieved fell outside the target error variance for the launc...

I was checking out the design strategy chosen by the Chinese for their rockets, and how it contrasted with ours. One fact that struck me most was that they don't seem to have possessed engines far more powerful than our own . They seem to have an aversion to solids just like their Russian counterpar...
