Hi,How much weight can GSLV MK II carry?I believe MK III can carry 4 tones.How does this compare with US, Arian, Chinese, Russian and Japanese capabilities.Thx
We cannot rule out a Dec launch. Anyways I am a little skeptical of this. Many a time ISRO officials have stressed in the media that the launch would be in December.One more thing I would like to point out is the cryogenic stage is the last and final stage and is moved to the pad only when the launch is scheduled...Just because cryo stage is not stacked up there, we cannot rule out a launch...They have one full month to prepare...The whole of November....Cryo stage has arrived in SHAR.ISRO plans to speed up things and we can expect them to close their year which ends in April-2010 with atleast 5 launchesPSLV C12 (complete)PSLV C14 (complete)GSLV D3PSLV C15PSLV C16
How dose GSLV III lift capabilities compare with that of Russian, Chinese, American, Japanese and European launchers.
Tentative partial launch schedule:
