He may not have said anything; but may have thought pretty nasty things about ISRO.

But this is also important to demonstrate a new vehicle and so many new components.

Waiting for the countdown for GSLV-Mk3 to begin... that would be a seminal event indeed, as important as MOM for the country.

Purely commercial decisions and we should encourage anything that brings more 'moolah' to us.

GSAT-14 finally in place http://isro.org/gslv-d5/d5-post-updates.aspx

Read somewhere maiden test flight will be sometime this year... 2014.

That's smooth going for ISRO. Wish our scientists have a similar trouble free journey with GSLV Mk3 the biggest of all Indian launchers yet.

Welcome To Indian Space Research Organisation - GSLV-D5/GSAT-14 Mission Post Launch Updates Jan 07, 2014 Second orbit raising operation of GSAT-14 is successfully completed by firing the Apogee Motor for 2,629 seconds on Jan 07, 2014. Realised orbit is 32,544 km (Perigee) by 35,742 km...

Very uncharacteristic of ISRO.... wonder why ISRO is slipping now?

What's worrying is that PSLV stages which have been free of hitches is increasingly becoming susceptible. Of course there is nothing like 100% when there are so many factors involved. But the error occuring in the same second stage repeatedly, calls for a serious relook.

The implication of the second stage troubles is that even PSLV, India's space workhorse is becoming unreliable. The problem is not because of basic design, but lax quality standards. Is ISRO losing control over its quality control standards? If so, who is to blame?

Yep, the launch has been CALLED OFF. So some more wait. But I prefer this to some momentary fireworks in the sky. The satellite itself is too expensive to be lost, not to talk of the cryogenic stage. As of now, news is that the issue was with the second stage.... not the cryogenic one. But...

ISRO focus overwhelmingly has to be on GSLV-Mk2 first because that is the tech demonstrator fro GSLV-Mk3. Hope the August date will hold and the launch will be successful.

It must be a stripped down version like those one can download form Nokia OVI store or iPhone store or the Android version.

All the seven satellites will be launched by 2015. Do not know if the present GPS could somehow be reprogrammed to receive IRNSS signals. If so, it would be a cheaper alternative to buying new ones. Whats important is the military application of the network because India will not be using GPS...

ISRO rocks!!!

New control center does look impressive.
