integration and Assembly completed
Tracking stations are up and running, and everything upto Orbital injection has been prepared
a hot test has been conducted on a 50x50 metre lunar surface, 25 tests has been done on the mock surface
everything as small as solar gravity has been taken into simulations and lander has been fine tuned, a resistance has been created to simulate lunar gravity, at a time 20 KG fuel used for test
everything has been satisfiably completed

Technicians are well acquainted to the LVM3-M4 launch vehicle
July first week end it will be moved to Launch pad a NOTAM has been issued

All tests regarding testing of Launch vehicles and satellites have been sped up, most chief technicians can avail info regarding them using an online platform, after a ground team does the tests, doesn't demand their physical presence
so 5 launch campaigns are running simultaneously in Sriharikota rn, first time in ISRO history

some basic introduction into Gaganyaan, test vehicle project and Pad abort test to be done this year, only after which the Jeevan Mission can proceed(Jeevan mission probably referring to manned mission)

gagan-nauts, the men are called


about the launchpad
A Doppler weather radar measures and issues warning regarding weather in the 50 km radius, and some other basic stuff

5 launch campaigns...let me guess

1 LVM-3
2 PSLVs
1 TV-D1
5th one I don't know, but I guess most probably GSLV-F14/INSAT-3DS scheduled for Sept/Oct launch window

If 2 PSLVs are being prepared at same time, there must a PSLV/SSLV launch by year end besides GSLV.

yep there will be both PSLV & SSLV by year end

SSLV should itself touch 10 on its own… there is so much market for corporate/university sats from west..
All we need is more marketing SSLV can be a winner just like PSLV

SSLV was created for that function at first place, for outpacing PSLV itself.

Operationalization of Kulasekaripattinam and industry making enough facilities to launch dozens of SSLV. As Somanath told in seminar, SSLV & LVM3 only will remain two main workhorses in near future for international launches.

So, we have a new national space policy now.
By 2047, India should be seen as world-leading space-faring nation: ISRO chief
During his presentation, he also spoke about the 'Space roadmap for Amrit Kaal' delineating the various aspects the country needs to work on for the next 25 years.

New Delhi: India will have to look at space as a “strategic asset” of the country and should become a world-leading space-faring nation by 2047, ISRO chairman S Somanath said on Wednesday.

He made the remarks while delivering the 38th Air Chief Marshal P C Lal Memorial Lecture at an Indian Air Force event here.

IAF Chief Air Chief Marshal V R Chaudhari, former IAF chief Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria (retd), and several air warriors were present on the occasion.

“We have to look at space as a strategic asset of the nation. And we should create that capability, to sustain it, build it in an ‘atma nirbhar’ (self-reliant) way. It is very important And we have created a roadmap of how to build it,” Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman Somanath said.

“And this is how we want to see India when it reaches the 100th year of its Independence. We would like to see India as a world-leading space-faring nation,” he said.

During his presentation, he also spoke about the ‘Space roadmap for Amrit Kaal’ delineating the various aspects the country needs to work on for the next 25 years.

The government has defined ‘Amrit Kaal’ as the 25-year period from 2022 to 2047, ie, from the year when India completed 75 years of its getting Independence from the British, to the year it celebrates the 100th anniversary of that milestone.

Somanath mentioned four levels the country needs to succeed at in its space roadmap — strategic, spacecraft, innovation and exploration; continuing human space flight; launch cost reduction; and business of space travel, in that order.

Space parks, space tourism, global space data solution, global space manufacturing hub, and space mining with defined timelines too were mentioned in the powerpoint slide he shared on the roadmap.

In his lecture, he also spoke of the Gaganyaan and Chandrayaan missions of India.

He said the Chandrayaan-3 is planned to be launched mid-July.

Chandrayaan-3 aims to land a rover on the lunar surface.

Somanath later told reporters that while no date had been finalised, the ISRO was looking to launch the mission between July 12 and 19 at the earliest.

In his address, the ISRO chief also underlined the need for sustainability in space. While sharing data on space debris in his slides, he said, of the nearly 14,000 satellites in orbit, “80 per cent are not functioning.”

The memorial lecture was organised by the Air Force Association (AFA).

Air Chief Marshal P C Lal was commissioned in the IAF in 1939. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross during the Burma Campaign in World War II. He served as the Vice Chief of the Air Staff in the 1965 war.

While on deputation to Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) in 1966, he served as the Chairman and Managing Director of HAL. As the seventh Chief of the Air Staff during the 1971 war, his outstanding leadership proved to be a decisive factor in India’s victory and the liberation of Bangladesh.

Lal was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1966 and the Padma Vibhushan in 1972 for his contributions in the two wars. After retirement in 1973, he was appointed the Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) of Indian Airlines and later the chairman of Air India.

No mention of timeline, Mangalyaan-2, but they are calling it as MLM(Mars Landing Mission), just like how they called Mangalyaan-1 as MOM

After getting a damn sub forum created for the space program, members are still only going to bombard this thread for every topic.
