If they had just gone with the base 2 stage version of simorgh this launch would have been a success

Go ISRO! If we succeed in pulling this off in the 2020s we will be only the fourth country ever to carry out a manned space mission. (After Russia,US and China)

Are you dense? If north GDP is higher than how are they getting handout from south? The opposite is probably more true.

Current GTO payload capability of MK3 is currently 4 ton not 3.5ton. Semi cryo engine development is all but complete all that remains is tests and that will start as soon as test facility is ready. By the way final GTO capability of MK3 will be around 6.5 ton - 7 ton not 5 ton. 5 Ton can be...

Northern states provide a large portion of national GDP. UP by itself accounts for about 10% of indian GDP with other northern states such as delhi and rajasthan also providing large amounts. North is less advanced on per capita terms but in terms of overall economic strength it is way ahead of...

Where am i boasting? Can you read? I said that average income in australia is not $68,000 like that other poster claimed. Very few people leave india for jobs compared to people who stay. You make it sound like india is some prison camp.

When did i say anything about india being superpower? If having larger economy than australia makes one a superpower than the world has at least 5-10 superpowers already. I could ask you the same thing. Your profile says you are from pakistan but living in UK. Why not go back to pakistan?

What a bunch of BS. I live in australia and can tell you the real average salary is nowhere near $68,000. Most people i know struggle to make even $60,000 a year. Pay is actually decreasing in australia for the majority. As for purchasing power india is third in world in PPP terms. Australia...

Any video of the test?

No video this time?

A part of me wishes that US would attack NK so that kim can teach the US a lesson. US is a bully that needs to be brought into line. This is not the same NK of the 90s but i suspect US will only learn that once they truly realise what they are up against. Guam should prepare itself for a 280...

I think after kim is done with his missile and nuclear programs he will start to allocate more resources to north koreas space program. I would not be surprised if a decade from now a north korean rover is on the moon. Less than 12 months ago people were saying it would take NK until 2026 to...

It is. Thats why china receives no commercial orders to launch smallsats.

India should take note and implement manned space program. It would be somewhat shameful for ISRO if iran comes from behind and launches manned mission first which india has had on planning board since late 90s.... Anyway iran should invest in manned space program as it will be important for...

@Galactic Penguin SST So NK will jump to unha-9 next year? Can you provide some evidence to backup your claims?

Iran should build up its domestic economy to be sanction resistant like north korea has

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Now, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has scheduled the launch of the Cartosat-2E satellite on board its proven workhorse `Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle' - PSLV-C 38 for June 23. Preparations are on full swing as the vehicle is assembled and integrated with the...

It does not matter if a payload is 4 ton or 1kg the amount of work needed to get it into orbit is the same. GSLV MK-3 is just starting out as a viable launcher, wait for a couple of years and chances are there will be a good number of commercial payloads being launched as most GTO payloads are...

ISRO should focus on improving GSLV MK-3's payload capacity asap. By the time MK-3 reaches its final form it should be able to lift 6.5 ton - 7.5 ton to GTO and 13 ton to 15 ton to LEO.

PSLV can launch up to 3.8 tons into LEO. You should double check your sources before posting such BS. As for your claim no one is taking PSLV seriously, how many commercial sats has india launched in the last year compared to how many china has launched in the last year? It's funny how some...
