22-25 tons

This will replace pslv or gslv ?

It will be jointly developed by ISRO & our Pvt companies....earlier LVs were developed solely by ISRO while private players acted as suppliers....now pvt companies will be part of design & development activities.. this new LV will replace all 3 , PSLV,GSLV & GSLV-MK3

It's still not enough for competition with China

All 3

This will replace pslv or gslv ?

80's era technology like PSLV will be replaced.

Also GSLV as ISRO is looking for missions in 2030's.

In this slide it looks like the official confirmation of Mangalyaan's end ....also at top right corner notice the Venus mission having both orbiter & lander @Swesh @Indx TechStyle @Jimih and others

Its a start.

I doubt if humans landed on moon, it could be a farce for all we know.....lets see if there will be a repeat. No reason why US would abandon the encore if they did it one time and to fix the short comings.

Apollo programs were extremely risky that's why no mission took place after Apollo 17 and also moon had nothing much to offer

Just not convincing enough, any logical reasoning tells you that risks encountered will be studied and solutions to be found but I call this possible bluff....

Thats why I said, ISRO is a rare jewel among PSU's in India as real high tech work and results are visible with a puny budget.

 

[Jimih]

Wide area coverage

Nah bro you can see the apollo craft and study the mission they did it with a huge risk to human life and in apollo 13 they almost killed 3 people in space. I don't think it was worth the risk

Isro budget should be between 3-5 billion dollars.

There were many disasters before and after that with shuttles, this lack of 2nd attempt is just not convincing. Some of the people involved in that program died mysteriously over time too

All
NGLV is not one rocket but a family.

Basically, it is ULV rocket family with a new name.

I already posted it in this thread

@Swesh here are 20 high end military sats

The actual reason is cost...

 

[omaebakabaka]

The actual reason is cost...

Not convincing enough for me.....they spend way more on many other things and there would be atleast one president or NASA head or scientist with influence to pitch for it with the increase in better materials and computing and so on.....shuttles are one of the most expensive ones too. I could be saying BS here but for me it does not add up and sounds like hollywood production
