GEO Imaging Satellite (GISAT)

[Darth Malgus]

Well sivan will not be remembered for good things thats for sure

He did his best with that he had. I'm sure he can do better.

I always dream of a day when ISRO will send man to space stations and send landers on planets and do high le vel mission. Its almost 60years now.

Right now it seems ISRO not able to handle next level missions. Just think of NASA sending rover to Mars that really a high technology. Can ISRO handle such type of project.

But Ummed pe duniya kayam hai

Isro will always be Scotland team in ICC world cup...one two matches win happy happy...meanwhile big guns like AUS=USA and WI=Russia and now ENG=CHN will reach semis and finals

so to save you from frustration, keep your expectations low from ISRO, DRDO, OFB etc etc

This is the thinking that we need to overcome.

I think if good budget provide to ISRO then it can reach finals also.

Technology always high-lows, ISRO need to think high.

I think ISRO come after US/CHINA, even russia only doing routine work.

Haan but ISRO scotland bhi nahin hai. India won the world cup.

Today's failure will adversely affect NISAR project...Nisar is already running late now this..Good thing is Sivan anyways going out in Jan 22..I have high hopes from Somnath sir to lead Isro next Don't know why mudi baba gave sivan extension...And hope isro leadership grows maturity to accept failure and not make clownish statements like Mission is 98% success after Chandrayaan 2 debacle

Not only NISAR but also Gaganyaan too. Mk-2 is supposed to launch IDRSS Data Relay Satellites.

 

[Vamsi]

I think satellite insured.

One thing came true, this satellite creating problem for many countries.

Its sure that might be US and China dont want this sat.. up in sky.

GISAT is a 2 sat constellation . The 2nd satellite GISAT-2 is already under development. I hope next Mk-2 will be in next year only.

Yes man Isro is very capable and ambitious organisation It's just dat last couple of years were total mess under sivan..I was hoping Somanath sir take over from sivan in 2020 itself but mudi baba had different plans...But don't feel let down coming decade is gonna be very exciting and revolutionary for Indian space sector like sun venus orbitors, mars rover, human space program, reusable vehicles, growth of private players in space.. Remember In science their is No failure but Learnings

we would all love that...BUT reality is, was and will be miles away from it...and the new Space Race is only to get more and more heated...ISRO's future looks between Scotland and Bangladesh (in cricketing terms) only

The amount of crap that ISRO and its scientists have got today from this forum is crazy. I understand the disappointment but if the only way you guys can let loose your frustration is by abusing the folks at ISRO, maybe you should stay off the forum and drown your sorrows elsewhere. ISRO more than does its share with what resources they have, they have had more success than not in all these years. It's a terrible indictment of all of us if instead of being supportive at the time of setbacks, we pile on the abuses. The good folks at ISRO don't deserve that.

We always support. Issue is budget , does GOI will increase budget.

I really looking for Cy3 mission.

It is getting to a point where Defending the indefensible is not going to work anymore. I am pretty sure the government is looking at big changes for ISRO. They would definitely know that ISRO is losing launch customers as well as precious time. Questions like can we rely on ISRO to launch a military sat on demand during war time is going to come into play. Hope ISRO comes back real strong from this dire situation, and really puts the confidence back.Bjt I have not heard one word from ISRO about how they will do that and accelerate the launch calendar. Everything is quiet and very hazy. This is where ISRO must increase its communications with the people of India. After all they are using taxpayer money to do all these launches and R&D.

Standard Answer:
"ISRO IS ALREADY WORKING ON IT!"

We are not abusing ISRO but we are disappointed by the failures in recent times.
The future is also looking bleak!

We will not keep on supporting ISRO blindly. They need to perform regularly to get the praise. Don't expect to sing praise for ISRO always.

Explained: What are the takeaways from GSLV-F10 failure?

ISRO EOS-3 launch: The launch would have marked India’s return to normal spaceflight, but has failed. How important is the rocket, and how far will its failure impact the upcoming missions Gaganyaan, Chandrayaan-3 and NISAR?

[SUPERPOWER]

On the plus side.. the 6 major engines beneath the cryogenic stage, worked flawlessly. And the new 4m ogive heat shield did open up. But major disappointment with the cryo stage, considering this was a proven system, and the satellite was very important. Yes, Sivan must do the graceful thing, and resign.

Sivan saaar will cry like a baby on Modijis shoulders...

@Vamsi
So there is chatter going around about today's crash dat CUS turbopump failed just like first launch fail in 2010... Here's report from 2010

GSLV-D3 Failure Analysis Report - ISRO

The third developmental flight of Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV-D3) conducted on April 15, 2010 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR, Sriharikota, primarily for the flight testing of indigenously developed Cryogenic Upper Stage (CUS), could not accomplish the mission objectives...

www.isro.gov.in

The above failure is attributed to the anomalous stopping of Fuel Booster Turbo Pump (FBTP). The start-up of FBTP was normal. It reached a maximum speed of 34,800 rpm and continued to function as predicted after the start of CUS. However, the speed of FBTP started dipping after 0.9 seconds and it stopped within the next 0.6 seconds.

 

[INDIAFIRST]

The more I see chota bheem like expression on Mr Sivan with miniature toy rocket in one hand the more I feel for ISRO
It's time Mr Sivan should be more professional and not emotional when tax payers money is involved

Government report acknowledging ISRO is falling behind and need for reforms.

India lagging behind US, China in space sector; over 40 start-ups working with govt: Economic Survey

[RoaringTigerHiddenDragon]

The government has actually cut pay to 90% of ISRO scientists and engineers, in reality. Looks like the government knows the usual PSU corruption is going on in ISRO as well.

#ISROWeAreProudOfYou, But ISRO's Scientists suffered a paycut: India asks PM Modi, Why?

While India grew proud of the Scientists and Engineers at ISRO for Chandrayaan 2 Mission; they suffered pay cuts in 2019 for their hard work.

www.dkoding.in

look at the pay scale. you are going to get monkeys for this pittance when private startups are zooming ahead.

Note in the tweet 289 ISRO scientists have left in the last 5 years obviously due to morale loss. I just laugh at a MOD here who thinks all is well at ISRO. Lol.

 

[RoaringTigerHiddenDragon]

More of ISRO’s talent issues from Dr. Sivan himself :
“Sivan accepted that the manpower with ISRO was just a miniscule of talent India produces.Thousands of engineers pass out each year and many migrate to other countries due to limited opportunities within the country, he said.”
