Yes. That's what ISRO chairman officially stated.

Where do such imbeciles breed? US emblems have a ton of Latin phrases....does that mean US is Latin America? Also Apollo/Artemis names are Greek gods....names that NASA uses for its moon missions!!!

Must be the designation for the first operational flight.

PIB "may" have given that footage long time back in the context of GSAT launches etc. The lazy IndianExpress journalists must have randomly picked up some stock video and overlayed their choice of text!!!! (just like they show C17 image for Rafale :-) )

How DUMB are Indian journalists??? The report about Chandranyaan-2 shows a French Ariane rocket!!! One can also explicitly hear the countdown in FRENCH!!!

No contradiction. The purview of this above discussion was only the mature technologies that're already in serial production - not upcoming technologies, not heavy lift launch vehicles AND not complete severing of ties with Ariane!

You're intellectually no older than a 11 year old! You cannot understand the fundamental issue/question & debate logically. To summarize: - My issue/concern was NOT about ISRO/HAL's technical capabilities but their production planning. My concern was due to the purported use of a foreign launch...

Reading this once again....did you mess up your punctuation once again to give a different meaning than intended? 11 year olds' have so much to learn!

You don't know when to shut up, do you? HAL/DRDO sucks but ISRO's sins are forgiven because it's involved in aviation/aerospace tech? (let the record reflect that the above view is held by the same whack job who berates others for questioning 'Indian institutions') I could go into the details...

When I suspected ISRO may be at fault, this dude @Indx TechStyle jumped at my throat; now that I exonerated ISRO, he claims ISRO is not innocent! Perhaps he should give mating a chance! But then for posterity sake, maybe not! :-)

Can you STOP your BS? It's very clear that you have no idea about the issue or the concern that I raised. Just like your whack job cousin sustivel you spin relentlessly until the spectator gets dizzy! There seems to be a decent explanation for ISRO-Ariane tango on GSAT 31! Once you transgress...

I am not the one who dubbed this as a rumor :) That said, if this article is indeed true (that GSAT 30/31 launch with Ariane was some kind of coerced appeasement sought due to GSAT11 delay) then it is a much better explanation for launching GSAT 30/31 with Ariane than not being able to produce...

You're an imbecile who doesn't even know that being unable to meet the demand one creates is the biggest sin in management. One would know that if one held any position of responsibility. No point in trying to educate a 'sadak chaap'! You don't follow logic, then shut the F up! Respond to posts...

Here comes another asshole who hasn't learnt civility or logic while growing up. After starting the name calling don't go crying to the mods! All this bullshit defense (of frequency, budget etc) is just obfuscating the fundamental issue which is inability to gear supply to meet demand...

BTW...the picture shown is not DRDO's satellites but belongs to a San Francisco based company called Planet Lab's (PSLV did launch those anyways)

The logic presented by some folks here is so ridiculous! ISRO was constrained by the Indian government via low allocation of budget for GSLVs, as such to overcome his constraint ISRO went for Ariane launches?? Eh?? That's right! If you can't afford bread, eat cake!

Dude! You and Chinmoy always keep chasing rumors; and worse u use those rumors to justify everything under the sun :) Also, good luck with your move to Singapore! Hope you're enjoying the new place.

That should be considered a crime! After spending decades of research to attain the capability, ISRO is not able to fully utilize the fruits of labor? It's like HAL.... ISRO definitely seems to be going DRDO/HAL route - only interested in running after new shiny objects like gaganyaan...

Sure, there are lot of things going on. But not having a launch vehicle ready for something that's clearly NOT AN EMERGENCY is inexcusable. ISRO guys are hiding their poor planning by claiming it as an emergency! Why should ISRO pay $100+ million to Ariane for something that they could/should...

INSAT-4CR was launched by GSLV 12 years ago; it's replacement is being launched by Ariane!! Irony epitomized!! INSAT-4CR's planned lifetime was 12 years! It's a surprise that it lasted the full 12 years despite the launch hiccups (where GSLV underperformed and some of the satellite's fuel was...
