GSLV Mark II

[Sakal Gharelu Ustad]

GSLV, the naughty boy, has become obedient today!

 

[tramp]

The emotion visible on the otherwise stoic faces of the scientists says it all.... they are ecstatic!! Not even Mangalyaan brought this kind of all-round jubilation to the mission room.

 

[happy]

"1000 secs of successful gslv flight is a result of 1000 days of hard work by the gslv team !!!" Dr. Narayanan, Mission Director, GSLV-Mark II.

India is facing a huge gap between the number of transponders available on its various satellites and the burgeoning demand.
Presently have only 175 transponders and has taken on lease 86 from foreign country transponders.
The Hindu Business Line : The Hindu Business Line : ISRO left poorer by transponder crunch, foreign leases

2]To Launch Heavy satellites for India's own GPS/GLONASS(global positioning system) called IRNSS-'Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System,'

IRNSS for civilian as well as Military purpose like missiles,bomber,fighter planes,Reconnaissance,Search and Rescue,Soldier Digital Assistant,to know the positions of military equipments etc.

3]Dedicated Satellite for 'Integrated Space Cell'

4]Dedicated Navy Satellites- Spy,Reconnaissance and Network Cell,Encrypted communications,positions of ships and submarine,Target tracking.
Dedicated satellites for Navy, IAF to be launched soon: Antony - Times Of India

5]Dedicated Army Satellites-Spy,Reconnaissance and Network Cell and various other important purposes.

6]Dedicated Air force Satellites-Spy,Reconnaissance and Network Cell and various other important purposes.

7]Dedicated Coast guard Satellites,Disaster management

8]Networking ,Regional air traffic control ,Transportation & Railway security and safety to avoid collision and better/efficient time and track management.

9]Human spaceflight program & Future Heavy weight Space Flights for space and planetary exploration programs.

10]India's manned Moon Mission

11]To launch Heavy satellites for various purposes like weather,agriculture,urban plannings etc
