What is the launch rate for China/EU/SpaceX? They don't have vendors and suppliers I suppose.
They are largest section of private aerospace manufacturers, certain government agencies only backed by private suppliers and account for 70 to 75% global aerospace. In US, there is barely anything in aerospace that doesn't have private vendors and suppliers, China essentially operates all suppliers under state control which operate like private vendors (also doesn't change that they still have one of largest number of private aerospace players which even rank among largest firms).
That explains the, high heavy+medium launch rate of US with 50% of global aerospace industry and EU (low launch rate for heavy launchers) and China (high launch rates for medium and small launchers).
Its high time we called out delays from ISRO side due to excuse of COVID and not try to hide behind stupid gyan of rockets, thin air, etc. Not all of us were born yesterday.
Trust me, gyan is never stupid. Only thing what you should call stupid is unwarranted and unknowledgeable fan opinion.
You or entire Janata "calling out" ISRO doesn't make any kind of positive or negative rise contribution to ISRO since your opinion is nothing more than an angry fan rant and is completely free of any kind of arguments analysed of facts or reasonable analysis (sorry).
Let ISRO stop giving out dates if they can't meet them. If it takes 2025 before anyone can fly, so be it. Stop giving out dates you know you can't meet. Not hard to understand now, is it?
ISRO doesn't have a assembly line like production of spacecrafts nor they have budget. Every spacecraft is different, tailor made on specific requirements and hence needs rigorous experiments and new equipments which obviously would call delays. I would call it perfectly fine. Estimated dates for executing missions have been given and revised often for public information and not PR.
ISRO isn't an automotive company with production rates on mind today and idle tomorrow. It's a research agency which it should always stick too.
We are barely anything in aerospace especially in terms of volume even if we have gained some technological gains since 90s. We can't maintain high launch rates with accurate launch dates for 8 to 10 years more at least.
ISRO chairman made it clear in the C-53 press conference that the 1st unmanned flight will only be in mid-2023, I'm sure
He did.
That's what I'm saying that mission may be pulled here in 2022 itself.
Present max possible launch capacity of SDSC with 2 LPs is 26 launches, they aren't even utilising 50% of that capacity,what will they do with TLP.
You are only accounting reconditioning time of launch pads. You again are ignoring the availability of VABs and obviously fabrication delays caused due to process or design/experiments.
Third launch pad is being made for dedicated experimental missions, is big enough to accommodate heavy and super heavy launchers, manned and reusable rockets. It's about facilities to accommodate rockets and communication.
New Spaceport in Kulsekaripattinam is for SSLV and small launchers, may be for private vendors.
