Too slow in my estimation. Need to push for a bigger budget as to speed up the efforts.

Too slow in my estimation. Need to push for a bigger budget as to speed up the efforts.

Timeline of efforts is in synergy with sheer size of India's industry, both supply and demand. Since even some part of existing budget is sometimes returned to government, there will no difference with whatever extra budget.

India's space program is oriented by India's economic demands than a cold war style space race and hence, it will grow suitably with economy to create a permanent and sustainable space program. And this pace is at least good enough if not fast given current state of socio economics.

As far as interplanetary missions are concerned, they are limited by infrastructure and not budget. There is no use of utilising American and European networks everytime.S So soon as infrastructure like third launch pad and improved DSN etc. are complete, DoS will itself demand more money for them from government.

Well having a bigger budget can mean breaking the chicken egg thing.

That would be in case if programs are being hold due to the budget.

It's our capacity and not our budget what has kept us behind NASA and ESA. Budget just moved in synergy with that. There is no use of excess budget unless there are more launch pads, more launch production, more people and at first place, demand for more.

answer to this question, and more from ISRO chief.
he says SSLV was made with industry in mind, ISRO has no commercial interest in this segment.

Somnath is a great orator
Hits that perfect spot between enough technicalities and enough dumbing down so everybody can understand what he says

That’s what I am saying. If you want bigger capacity you need to cough up more money to build up these capacities. In order to justify these capacities you have to come up with large orders of launches which requires money. Hence a bigger budget means breaking the chicken egg problem.

Bigger capacity here comes from bigger infrastructure. Indian market has enough satellite backlog but if ISRO carries out 12-20 launches an year, there will be nothing commerical to do in 3 years from now.

Simply, there is no use of a heavy budget increment when we have sub-10 launch capacity. High aunch capacity and a sudden increase in ISRO's budget will be seen, but at a time when Indian space industry will have demand, ISRO and it's private peers would have developed that kind of technology at right time.

There is no use of daydreaming about moon landing today with just some budget boost. Rocket engines run on fuel and cycles, not money.

This is not a chicken vs egg first story. It is the story of development of aerospace sector of India like growth of any other sector whose programs will be economically sustainable and permanent instead of mere one-off space race stunts.

I wonder when JIO honchos will think of replicating Starlink…
That will surely fill SSLV book for good

Jio can cut the cost easily by a fraction of the Starlink kit, which includes a satellite dish, mounting hardware, and a Wi-Fi router, cost around $499 USD. In addition to the kit, there is also a monthly subscription fee of $99 USD.
India has huge tier 3 and rural towns which can become mass market for Jio Sat based net ..
Jio Fiber can cover major towns.. and Jio can take the sasta Starlink to African nations too

ISRO chief (Also formers ) who has deep knowledge about what going on under his ass.

In India, Usually chief have zero knowledge what is going on in office. Even Satish raddy was sounding clueless in ANI podcast with Smita Prakash.

It shows ISRO have much much better academic environment compare to rest of institutions.

satish reddy has to think about "need to know" elements for every sentence he utters, his current boss doesn't take kindly to unnecessary media statements.

ISRO on the other hand has more freedom on what they can say in public.

Bhai fir tumne V K Sharshwat nhi suna..... DRDO ka itna Feku chief kabhi nhi dekha maine. He had absolute freedom of lies.

Btw, usually chief speak general information like design is ready, we have upgraded/added systems from last time. Watch this podcast and waste 1 hr with zero real information.

DRDO is a vast organisation with hell lot of labs working on wide domains. It's chiefs will be mainly having knowledge of the vertical he was in. Satheesh Reddy was 'seeker' guy who was with Research Centre Imarat and directly was responsible for lot of seekers, Radar and navigation projects in his career.
On the contrary present DRDO chief Sameer Kamat is a materials guy.
Compared to this, ISRO' scope is narrow and focussed.
Also there might be the issue of public speaking or giving interviews that is not 1st nature to this techies. If you have some time, just read about the work, awards and research papers Satheesh Reddy has done in his career.
You make yourself sound stupid blabbering nonsense in public forums

Hahaha... Some people have only one job "Get hurt " no matter what one say.

I was talking about chief (Leadership), not about scientist or how many research papers he/she published.

If you are a chief then it doesn't not matter which branch did you belong but being chief one should aware each and every aspect of organisation otherwise there is no point of become chief.

No, that's a street boy misconception. Executives have their own role depending upon organisation and a person governing a vast agency like DRDO will be focused on its governance more than reading daily templates.

If he does otherwise, that's a problem

You are talking about an ideal leader who has those qualities. Closest you ever came to was under APJ who knew about various programes or followed them closely

ISRO current chairman really very crystal clear in objective. In one of the interview when asked about MOM-2 than he said no such plan in pipeline and then asked about landing on mars he said we can also send another satellite to MARS and also land it but give me objective. We need objective and experiments , to land on Mars. This man is really very clear in voice and thoughts & confident.

No Idea if this has been posted here before but this here is a pure technical discussion between two technically qualified people . Gareeb Scientist interviews Dr. Somnath. Enjoy maadi .
