All our recent missions are commercial mission government is pushing commercialization of vehicles over own launches weird

That depends upon availablity of lmv3 with hsf and commercial and scientific missions lmv3 production factory will be busy also depends that how much army can wait

But LMV3 can take 5000 kg to SSO?

If LMV3 can carry 4000 Kg to GTO.. 5000 to SSO shouldn't be a big deal.

My bad, actually gto i was asking. Thanks for clearity.

Getting commercial launches means the vendors making the rockets can get a steady stream of orders without using taxpayer money. Hopefully this will cause Godrej etc to invest in production facilities to make more than the 2 LVM3s per year that they are doing now.

ISRO's Reusable Launch Vehicles

Dude, just look at Pelosi's flight route in the below, she flied from the east. If Chinese want to accompany her, their jets need to take a big round to avoid Taiwan air space, and after the escort, they need again a another big round to fly back to mainland. Obviously that is too much for a...

AR2022-23

Review of Crisis Management Plan of Department of Space by Secretary, Security (Cabinet Secretariat), Government of India Review of preparedness of the Department of Space with respect to various crisis scenarios, including cyberattacks, natural disasters, and also with respect to disabling of satellites, was taken up towards giving confidence on the same. Two documents, namely, the Crisis Management Plan of DOS and Contingency Plan with respect to Disabling of Satellites, were reviewed and released to all DOS Centres/ Units for Implementation. The systems and processes in place at DOS for the management of all possible crisis scenarios are found to be in order, and key steps for further enhancement have been identified.

Trisonic Wind Tunnel 114 ´ÉÉ̹ÉEò Ê®{ÉÉä]Ç 2022-2023 Trisonic Wind Tunnel The Trisonic Wind Tunnel is a system to aid the aerodynamic design of rockets and re-entry spacecraft by characterizing scaled models by evaluating forces, moments, load distribution, unsteady pressures, acoustic levels etc. The tunnel can simulate flight conditions from 0.2 times the speed of sound (68 m/s) to 4 times the speed of sound (1360 m/s). The Model Cart system, which supports the model, houses the model incidence mechanism, supports transonic Mach number control, and also has interfaces for data acquisition from the model, is established. The first trial blowdown of the integrated system was carried out on December 08, 2022.

Is NSIL engage ISRO team for commercial launches ? How ISRO will concentrate on science.

Cant NSIL create separate team for this.

End-to-End Launch Vehicle building through Indian Industry *
NSIL has been mandated for the End-to-End building of ISRO’s launch vehicles through the Indian Industry. *
As part of this mandate, NSIL has signed a contract with M/s HAL [Lead Partner of M/s HAL and L&T consortia] for manufacturing five nos of PSLV. The 1st fully Indian Industry manufactured PSLV will be realised by 2024, and subsequent vehicles every six months.

And how would a rocket engine test facility will help GTRE?

We will make up the dry power deficit with RATO
