Yes, postponed.

ISRO chief visits Skyroot's Max-Q facility, briefed on Vikram-I developments The Indian space agency and the private sector is advancing the country's ambitions in space exploration and technology. Isro chief S smonath at the Skyroot Max-Q facility. (Photo: Skyroot) In Short Skyroot Aerospace...

Hyderabad-based Skyroot to launch Vikram-1, India’s private orbital rocket Vikram-1, the orbital rocket set to launch this year, is steadily progressing through various tests and development milestones. Pawan Kumar Chandana, co-founder and CEO of Skyroot Aerospace.

This might not be a big deal for India but it's a big deal for a private company. It's even a big deal for so many countries. Skyroot developed a suborbital launcher on it's own and parameters remained normal to be a base of its 500 kg launcher which is indeed a big deal for countries like Iran...

In one of two news articles, they have said October 2023 iirc.

What was that LOL?

Then I can't say.

What was the thrust of VK-S solid booster?

Didn't they say it takes just 2 days for assembly of one Vikram-I rocket?

Any status of SDSC TLP? No news for long time.

It's always encouraging about India's growth story when I see it making forays and strides in every field and sector, aerospace, research, naval, economics, military and reviosionism (refuting western influenc). But entire ego shatters after watching at China which dwarfs India in all those...

Likely 2035. LVM3 will remain testbed for SCE-200 for first few years. @Vamsi What are the perks of having an LO2/LH2 engine like RS-25 US uses and how feasible it's for India to make it?

What's the timeline of launch though? SCE-200 = ISRO's 2.03MN semi-cryogenic engine under development. It will boost LVM3's capacity by 50%, it's clustered configurations will power India's future HLV and SHLV rockets. SC120 = Name of future main stage of LVM3 which will contain 1 x SCE-200...

YF-100. Both YF-100 and SCE-200 will be used in SLS/Saturn-V super heavy equivalents of China and India to land people on moon. Our+ being our engine is bigger than China's YF-100. Their+ being theirs in use and our SCE-200 is still under development. RS-25 of NASA burns hydrogen with LO2 for...

Attach Twimg to thread also bro.

Chinese state media, banners layout and coverage has it's own old essence. So is ours.

Given what happened to CE-7.5 and eventually GSLV, I actually expect delays and possibly even program scrapping for failures of SCE-200. Chinese built a smaller YF-100 and chose to cluster them. While SCE-200 is far bigger, comparable to NASA's RS-25. Complexity and chance of failurr will be...

Circulation and pressure might have to be more governed in staged combustion as compared to gas generators (that explains why LVM3 CE-20 is more reliable than GSLV CE-7.5). Wondering what will happen to SCE-200.

Mission successful officially. Debris will fall at 130 kms away from SHAR.

Descent started at 88 kms instead of planned 100 km (80 kms was acceptance criteria though). So, launch was successful.
