need corrections
July 2023 is PSLV-C56/DS-SAR
Aug 2023 is PSLV-C57/Aditya-L1
Q4 2023 is PSLV-C58/Anvesha
NISAR is GSLV-F16

 

[Indx TechStyle]

July 2023 is PSLV-C56/DS-SAR
Aug 2023 is PSLV-C57/Aditya-L1

AFAIK serial no. C56 was for Aditya-L1. Is there any source of that revision?

NOTAM for July end mentioned C56, & it was confirmed that july end PSLV is a commercial mission

As per the monthly report of June-2023

1. Integration activities of PSLV-C57 for Aditya-L1 mission commenced on June 30, 2023
2. Crew module is undergoing final integration at ISITE, banglore for TV-D1

Any idea when Aditya-L1 will be flown ?

 

[Vamsi]

Any idea when Aditya-L1 will be flown ?

August end most probably after CY-3 landing

In August ,we have 3 crucial missions
TV-D1, CY-3 landing & Aditya-L1 launch

Its time now, govt need to increase ISRO fund for better infra and facilities and more resources to expand.

Yes, they should construct that Third Launch Pad at SDSC, asap

 

[TopWatcher]

Yes, they should construct that Third Launch Pad at SDSC, asap

Otherwise we wont able to take more complex projects. I think first of all ISRO need to attract and fund talent from the world.

 

[TopWatcher]

CY,MOM , Aditya these are old projects approved by previous govt MMS. Is modi approve any new project apart from human spaceflight (this is also part of old policy).

Seems modi govt not much funding ISRO apart from privatisation.

 

[TopWatcher]

Any one having a list what projects of ISRO in pipeline in future (which are actually launched) ?

Mudi is the one who approved Gaganyaan project, previous gormints did nothing for human spaceflight project,it was almost shelved before 2014

Aditya-L1 too got approved under current gormint only Afaik, old "Aditya" concept involved only 1 payload called "VELC" and was supposed to be placed in 500Km LEO,not L1 point,later they expanded it to include 7 payloads & changed orbit to L1 point

CY-2 was also approved under mudi only, old CY-2 was supposed to use Russian lander "Luna-25", old CY-2 orbiter was converted into Mangalyaan-1

In near future, we might get approval for both CY-4 aka LUPEX & Shukrayaan-1

Hope we would see in our life time lander on Mars by ISRO !

 

[Vamsi]

our Mars lander only after 2030, technically speaking,even our GSLV-Mk2 too can directly inject a 700Kg lander directly into a Mars Transfer Trajectory without need of earth bound phase

 

[TopWatcher]

our Mars lander only after 2030, technically speaking,even our GSLV-Mk2 too can directly inject a 700Kg lander directly into a Mars Transfer Trajectory without need of earth bound phase

But if ever ISRO go for Lander/Rover on mars. Should power rover with RTG not a solar one. Solar one rovers not successfull.
