Regarding the 7th pic in previous post, is that a disused PSLV/GSLV launch pedestral that is seen to the right? Or is it still in use? Any idea?
They rotate them between launches. GSLV Mk.3 pedestal is not in view and is stored down the track on the right.

I think one is dedicated to PSLV another to GSLV and third one for LVM3 is distinctly different. There are these 8 pole like bolt-on structures for GSLV strapons (See first two images on following post)
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=33771.msg1417649#msg1417649But on PSLV pedestal that region is filled up with something(See first image)
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=35858.msg1473502#msg1473502Also note on PSLV pedestal there are 2 parallel vertical notches these are absent on other pedestal, something to lookout for in future.
Digressing a bit now.. I looked a bit too hard and found hidden Waldo... twice... and now I am really angry
The folks running Isro's official site are running a circus..Serious lack of professionalism and it might affect their credibility.

Wow! Didn't realized these official pictures would be (and so badly) edited! Thx for finding out!
I mean what would be the point? Showing there's a crowd around the rocket?

If intention was to cover up certain area they would've simply cropped it. So yeah some god of clone stamps is there who doesn't like empty places..

PSLV-CA and last XL used the one the right. it is in maintenance spot and will be repainted soon. everything in red is removed before flight.

This will be India's fiftieth orbital launch (4 SLV, 4 ASLV, 33 PSLV, 9 GSLV).
That includes 37 successful launches, three partial failures, two failures that reached orbit and seven launches that failed to orbit.
I'm somewhat surprised ISRO are not publicising this milestone, given the somewhat less significant (and in some cases arguably manufactured) milestones that they have given significant publicity to in the past.

Every agency had gone through bad phases initially. Even Nasa was not exceptional. May be ISRO want to forget those bad phases quickly and progress in success path quickly. GSLV has seen many ups and downs both politically and experimentally bad phases and is now slowly emerging out it on its own.

William Graham's overview article!
http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2016/01/indian-pslv-irnss-1e/
Good article!
The first two of these, in March 1987 and July 1988, both failed to achieve orbit. The third launch – in May 1981 – achieved an unplanned, but partially usable orbit, while only the fourth was successful in May 1994.
But, typo? Possibly 1991?

Yeah, we should use that when it goes live. ISRO seems to be stuck in the 1980s with its webcast.
The folks running Isro's official site are running a circus..Serious lack of professionalism and it might affect their credibility.
