ISRO’s PSLV and GSLV-MkIII to become a part of launch programme for OneWeb’s LEO satellites that will beam high speed broadband.

ISRO’s cryogenic conundrum
21 August 2021
An Indian GSLV launch failed last week when the engine in its cryogenic upper stage did not ignite. Ajey Lele examines the long-running problems India has suffered trying to develop a more powerful launch vehicle.

Indian rocket fails, Earth Observation satellite lost
12 August 2021
The GSLV-F10 launch took place as scheduled. Performance of first and second stages was normal. However, cryogenic upper stage ignition did not happen due to technical anomaly. EOS-03 was a state-of-the-art agile Earth observation satellite which was to have been placed in a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit by GSLV-F10. The satellite was to have reached its final geostationary orbit using its onboard propulsion system.

Is ISRO’s "cryogenic curse" finally over?
23 July 2019
On Monday, India successfully launched the Chandrayaan-2 lunar mission on its GSLV Mark III rocket. Ajey Lele says the launch suggests India has mastered the cryogenic engine technology it had struggled with for decades.

Fund crisis involving India’s strategically crucial space programmes disappears
16 June 2018
Months after the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) flagged serious concerns over the shortage of funds for projects of national importance, the Narendra Modi-led government decided to release over $1.6 billion to the space agency. This would enable the agency to launch 30 Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and 10 Geostationary Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark III rockets in the next four years.

GSAT-6A satellite remains silent
10 April 2018
The GSAT-6A communications satellite that was launched atop a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark II rocket 29 March 2018, has not been heard from since the satellite’s Liquid Apogee Motor (LAM) completed its second orbit-raising burn, the Indian Space Resource Organisation (ISRO) confirmed on its website.
