India's Moon Exploration Program

1. Even that one mission this year isn't very likely if COVID continues there.
2. SSLV is probably on hold now. If Skyroot Aerospace' Vikram I launcher is successful, it will kill SSLV launcher anyway.
3. GISAT-I yet on hold.

Missions essentially being considered are; Oceansat-3, RISAT-1A & B, IDRSS-1 & 2, GSAT-20, unmanned Gaganyaan and Chandrayaan-3.

But SSLV is such an important launcher why kill it.

Data from wiki is wrong. Nigga

Not really. References are there along with data and you can check to verify them (I'm a wikieditor FYI). Still, open the Vikram series and compare relative assembly time.

Don't worry bro , SSLV will hand over to Pvt firms both for building & launching, so that there will be a competition between Pvt players actually it will make our space tech much more competitive and upto date

Skyroot Aerospace will achieve 500kg payload capacity with their Vikram 3 rocket. Whereas, SSLV is already being made for 500kg payload carrying capacity.

Vikram is way better than SSLV in terms of mobility and erection time.

Not a very great gap to cover once first launch is there.

I have even seen US cancelling NASA projects when they see their private cos bringing something better. Indeed if ISRO wasn't interested in Vikram rocket, they wouldn't have collaborated with Skyroot at first place.

Erection time means ? Both can be readied by 24 hours . Tech and other specifications almost similar , then Why you think Vikram will be better Bro? Anyways both are Indian

Assembly time for SSLV is 3 days.

Assembly time for SSLV is 3 days.

But I think ISRO will not cancel SSLV program for private rockets. It will be mainly used for launching military payloads (second launch of SSLV will have military satellites) and generating revenues.

Point is, there is no provision which holds ISRO back from using private rockets. NASA has cancelled pretty much of its programs.

Chandrayaan-1 captures images that indicate possible impact of Earths atmosphere on Moon

Chandrayaan was launched aboard PSLV C-11 on October 22, 2008, which was an XL variant of ISROs PSLV, one of worlds most reliable launchers.

^ So this is a recent discovery, good that data is constantly being found and analysed from 2009. Probably more to come!

Ya'll Nibbiars "As for Chandrayaan-3, the launch may now take place somewhere in early 2021. Chandrayaan-3 will be a mission repeat of Chandrayaan-2 and will include a Lander & Rover similar to that of Chandrayaan-2, but will not have an orbiter", Jitendra Singh said.
