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

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.
