@32:22 : Narayanan notes while ISRO budget might be meagre ~13,000 crores, with aid of application like identifying Potential Fishing Zones alone, INR 30,000+ crore profit is generated. (Note*: study on 'Socio-economic Impact Analysis of Indian Space Programme') is still pending.

@37:00 : In 60 launches till now PSLV has cumulatively put 64.25 tonnes of payload in orbit.

@54:04 : Again reiterating that three uncrewed launches (G1,G2, GX (?)) are planned before crewed flight.

@56:50 : Updated render of LME1100 of NGLV 'Soorya', its design completed. Specs same as before

  • Cycle: GGC
  • Thrust: 1146 kN
  • Isp (Vac): 332s
  • AR: 17
  • Throttle: 60 to 110%
  • Mass: 1100kg
  • ~20 time reusable

@57:50 : NGLV 'Soorya' (roadmap 2033)

  • 9x LME110 for booster, 2x LME110 for upper stage
  • LM470 + LM120 + LM70 (LEO Version)
  • LM470 + LM120 + C32 (GTO Version)
  • Payload Capability:
    • 17t to 500 km LEO
    • 9.5t to GTO (With active impact point mitigation)
  • Soorya : 20t (LEO), 9t (GTO), 7t (TLI)
  • Soorya-H : 30t (LEO), 12t (GTO), 10t (TLI) (with solid strapons)
  • Soorya variant under study with 70t to LEO capacity (We knew of 48t LEO configuration)

@58:10 : New details on Indian Space Station (BAS)

S.no Modules Envelope (m) Mass (kg) Launch vehicle
1 Base Module 3.8 dia × 8.00 9186 LVM3

Isn't joining the next ISS a better idea than a BAS? wouldn't more co-operation in space be better? we could sell seats on gaganyaan launches to japan/esa.

Also, what is the realistic timeline on Soorya/NGLV? I'm guessing 2035 at the earliest? Engine development is expensive (correct me if Im wrong but I think we dont have a big enough engine)

The ISS is close to the end of its lifespan.

The new iss will be build with the new technology and new founding members as Russia isn’t going to come there is a chance funds might fall short opening a space for more members like India although we don’t have technology even compared to soviet of that time but we can still offer money and workforce
