ISRO's Project Soorya - Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV) development program

[Indx TechStyle]

how far are we & ISRO behind NASA & SpaceX in terms of technological prowess and skill level?

Which aspect?

 

[Blademaster]

Which aspect?

Reusable engines and landing rockets.

ISRO might not use SC kerosene engine for NGLV. They might concentrate on using kerosene SC engine for expendable launch vehicles ie LVM – 3.

While clustered engines and methalox SC might be developed for NGLV. At ISRO speed commercial launch of NGLV will not be available before 2040. Hopefully commercial launches of LVM – 3 will start by 2030

Nowhere near at least for a decade more.

commercial launches for LVM-3 already started with Oneweb, they will continue more

More updates on Methalox engine, I hope they get funding for both the engine & NGLV asap

Have any of you heard of any plans to publicly-float ISRO on the stock market? Given their success, the IPO would be on fire. I know it is a government department but it can still remain a PSU with (restrictive ownership) stocks in the stock market.

The IPO would overshoot their required budget easily. I know I would invest in it definitely.

ISRO won't be in stock market, but I think its commercial arm NSIL is in stock market

Budget issue.

Budget issue.

Even SCE is not progressing

Somnath said they'll be able to do it before 2030

I think govt not supporting yet.

 

[TopWatcher]

I think govt not supporting yet.

I know this is also important. But i think govt should focus primarily on jet engine development, otherwise we screwed up. This is high time now.

12 years for a rocket less capable than even Falcon 9 seems underwhelming.
