THe PSLV C16 launch delay could be deducted from the presentation by the Indian delegation to the 48th STSC-UNCOPUOS on February 17, 2011 in Vienna (Austria) :
"Small satellite mission ‘YOUTHSAT’ - ready to be launched in March 2011"
http://www.oosa.unvienna.org/pdf/pres/stsc2011/tech-52.pdf
Also concerning Aditya-1 it is said that "launch is planned during the next high solar activity period by 2012." -

hi,
This is the note from Chairman: http://coalgeology.com/indian-space-agency-postpones-remote-sensing-satellites-launch/14378/ from an IANS story (you have to log in to IANS website to read the story!).
The reasoning seems odd:QuoteISRO officials told IANS the space agency’s chairman K. Radhakrishnan wanted to be sure about the parameters of the rocket’s subsystems as he was of the view that ISRO cannot afford another failure and that too involving the PSLV rocket.
Radhakrishnan is a worried man also because they're now involved in a could-be scam involving the S-band spectrum. It's been a hard time as a Chairman for him.

ISRO tests rocket motor, delays satellite launch
After 16 successful launches of its workhorse rocket Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) in the last 17 years, the Indian space agency is now testing a key component to re-qualify its on-flight performance parameters to avoid any unpleasant surprises. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is testing the gas motor which is fitted in the second stage/engine powered by liquid fuel for high temperature tolerance levels.

Isro gearing for Resourcesat-2 launch in April

There have been some reports that a second Israeli TecSAR is going to be launched by India this year, presumably on the PSLV again. Has there been any recent Indian comment about this or are the reports a fiction?
Maybe after all of the trouble pre-launch for the first TecSAR, everyone is keeping quiet about the second launch. -

It was believed that RISAT-2 was an off-the-shelf TecSAR built by Israel for India. At a recent public lecture I attended, the Director of Space Applications Center, Navalgund told the audience that RISAT-1, an indigenously built SAR payload is flying in "last quarter of 2011/first quarter of 2012".
Perhaps there is speculation that this (RISAT-1) is also an Israeli TecSAR. I have not heard anything said of an Israeli TecSAR-2 launch otherwise.

No, RISAT-1 is indian bulit and completely different from the TECSAR system.
TECSAR-2 is an purely israeli satellite. -

Arianespace has posted a mission update on its website - http://www.arianespace.com/news-mission-update/2011/767.asp
which talks about the arrival of the rocket components from Europe to South America for the GSAT-8 flight. GSAT-8 is flying with ST-2 on this flight. The link also talks about the new flight designation for the Ariane-V flights. This one is called Ariane-V VA202.
warm regards,
