eeergo - 27/10/2006 9:32 AMJust to clarify things a bit, which launches are yet scheduled for 2006 and which for 2007?
Taking into account the news posted here ( http://www.hindu.com/2007/04/24/stories/2007042414931500.htm ) there will be three more launches from India until the end of 2007.Before the last successful launches I had this schedule:January - PSLV-C7 - CastoSat-2; SRE-1; Lapan-Tubsat March - PSLV - X-Sat March - PSLV - TechSAR June 30 - PSLV - Oceansat-2; CanX-2; AAU-Cubsat 2; Cute-1.7; APD-2; Compass-1; Delfi-C3; SEEDS-2 July - GSLV - Insat-3D July - GSLV - Insat-4CR September - GSLV - Uragan-M7 (GLONASS) September - GSLV - Healthsat; Tauvex September - GSLV - Insat-4D The latest news says that there will be one launch by GSLV with Insat-4CR and two more PSLV's, with one carrying various satellites. So from the schedule above we can exclude the successful launches and the GSLV launches. We now have:March - PSLV - X-Sat March - PSLV - TechSAR June 30 - PSLV - Oceansat-2; CanX-2; AAU-Cubsat 2; Cute-1.7; APD-2; Compass-1; Delfi-C3; SEEDS-2 July - GSLV - Insat-4CR A news posted January 21st 2007, says that Oceansat-2 would be launched at the end of 2007. Oceansat-2 was already listed to be launched together with some small sats. The more recent news say that this small sats are going to be launched with Cartosat-2A. I think that this is an error and that the satellite to be launched is indeed the Oceansat-2.I couldn't find any info about the X-Sat and some sources point that the Isreali TechSAR will be launched by PSLV this year. So, I think that we can say that the Indian launch schedule for the rest of 2007 will be:June 30 - PSLV - Oceansat-2; CanX-2; AAU-Cubsat 2; Cute-1.7; APD-2; Compass-1; Delfi-C3; SEEDS-2July ? - GSLV - Insat-4CR?? - PSLV - TechSARAccording to this page http://www.utias-sfl.net/nanosatellites/CanX2/ the CanX-2 launch will take plave on June 30th, 2007.Any help? Thanks!

Celeritas - 2/5/2007 1:29 AMNot real familiar with India's space program. Wikipedia claims that the ISRO plans to launch a man in space by 2014, but can anyone tell me if this is a realistic timetable? When do you see India launching its own manned orbital flight?
