I wish this table had another column, the tentative planned launch date.
It will be nice project to some of you who are on top of ISRO news to add that column.

There is only one commercial launch here (C33). As per the news till now, ISRO has 2 foreign contracts: SPOT-7 (in 2013-14) and EnMap (in 2016).
Then, what about the 2nd one? Not even sure that C33 is for either of these 2 payloads!
I believe, further "pure" commercial contracts, if any, take the number further i.e, from C37 onwards!

Thx

Is TECHSAR-2 still a possibility?
Anyone know how many PSLV are on order, last mention I can find was upto C28

It appears ISRO is planning to pre-pone and have a launch of PSLV C22 IRNSS-1 mission before the GSLV flight...! Will provide links as and when available.
Also, there is talk of more frequent PSLV launches from this year

does anyone know what launch pad PSLV-C20 will be launched from? Also if the PSLV C-22 launch comes before GSLV does that mean GSLV has been pushed back from it's early may launch date?
Also can anyone tell me why it takes 3 years turn around time to launch a GSLV rocket?? Last GSLV launch was in december 2010. I know cyro tech is complex and the GSLV has a couple of technical issues that have to be resolved but 3 years to fix these problems?? ISRO really needs to pick up it's pace or mars mission might also be delayed as that also uses the same launch pad the GSLV uses.

If i recall correctly there were supposed to be 3 tests of the indigenous cryogenic engine before the GSLV was launched. Are those still on or are they cancelled because after the first test was completed in may 2012 there has been no news about cryogenic engine progress.

Partly due to GSLV Mk. II's multiple stage failures and the implementation of recommended corrective actions from those failures. Stage requalification testing, major engine/engine systems modifications which require new rounds of engine testing to recertify the modified engines for flight et cetera. those are just a few things that they have to complete successfully before they can fly again. Costly failures drive away government/citizen support and industry/customers due to low launcher reliability.

(I will try to get more information ...)
PSLV-C20 is using the first launch pad. Any further PSLV launch (most probably IRNSS-1 mission) may use the first launch pad only as GSLV and GSLV-MKIII missions may take in Second Launch Pad
Cryogenic engine is still under testing...and yes there has been no information about the status of the tests...

Hot test of the engine with modified parts has been done for 200 seconds. High altitude testing is to be done that will qualify the engine profile.

Looks like PSLV-C20 is using the Dual Launch Adapter(DLA) !!!
https://www.utias-sfl.net/NLS-8/?p=55
Nice pics. BTW PSLV has used DLA before.
Yes, PSLV has used DLA before ! All appears to be going smoothly as of now !
Hearing of GSLV launch campaign start...Can any one confirm that ?
