For the first time since its development, India will be using #GSLV class of rockets to launch commercial missions, first of which'll be a @OneWeb constellation. All commercial launches by DoS and its arms so far have been onboard PSLV. 1/n

Now, @NSIL_India has identified #GSLVMk3 for commercial launch of @OneWeb satellites. Sources indicate that the next Mk3 launch could be that of OneWeb, even as another has been identified and is being readied for #Chandrayaan3. 2/n
I was the first to report in October last year about GSLV-Mk3 having inquiries for launching commercial satellites and an impending announcement (see link). 3/n

2 key missions of spl test vehicle developed as part of #Gaganyaan are most likely in Aug & Dec. As I’d reported earlier, @isro is working towards 2 tests to establish crew abort & escape systems before the first uncrewed mission. 1/n

We are looking to schedule the 1st abort mission in Aug & the 2nd in Dec: Somnath. @isro to intentionally cause an anomaly & allow crew module to come out of it, do tumbling manoeuvres, deploy parachutes, & land in a designated spot on the sea before being recovered. 2/n
Aside from this — which is only one type of abort test — there are different events such as maximum dynamic pressure condition, maximum acceleration condition, some transient condition etc, in which abort will become critical in flight... 3/n
#Thread with details on today's #SSLV test & more:
Clearing the decks for the first flight of #SSLV, @isro today successfully carried out the ground testing of the newly developed solid booster stage (SS1) at SHAR. 1/n

There are some key developments unravelling related to some important missions/projects by @isro in the coming weeks. I'll soon be putting out something on #Chandrayaan3 #RLVLEX (reusable launch vehicle landing experiment) & #SSLV.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (@isro), which has already completed its first successful launch this year, is getting busy with a slew of key tests pertaining to three important missions/projects in the coming weeks, aside from a launch mission. 2/n
While the #PSLV mission is scheduled to launch EOS-6 or #Oceansat3 in the early part of April, important tests under the #SSLV and #RLV programmes have been lined up in the weeks preceding and following that. A #Chandrayaan3 landing test too is scheduled in March. 3/n
#JUSTIN | Senior @isro scientist S Unnikrishnan Nair has taken charge as the director of #VSSC. Nair will continue to also hold the position of director, #HSFC (Human Space Flight Centre) that is spearheading the #Gaganyaan programme. 1/n
He has B.Tech in mechanical engineering from Kerala University, ME in Aerospace engg from @iiscbangalore, and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from @iitmadras. 2/n
“Some missions will be taken up on priority. SSLV will come in April, Gaganyaan test vehicle missions will be this year, and we are looking at #chandrayaan3. These are immediate goals. We'll continue with overall Gaganyaan activities and other projects," Nair told me. 3/n
More #Space Updates: @isro , which has a packed 2022 has made considerable progress on #Chandrayaan3. With many related hardware and special tests successfully completed, the team is moving closer to integrated testing. Launch targeted this year. Maybe August. #Thread
@isro chairman S Somanath told me late last month: “Chandrayaan-3 has been going through a series of reviews, improvements, and strengthening. Some of these are based on the issues we’ve seen earlier....
...But the issues we’ve learnt so far may not be the only ones. The questions are many and we need to foresee a lot of them which may further require corrections. The hardware is under realisation too.”

July 22, 2020 marks the one-year anniversary of the launch of #Chandrayaan2, India’s second lunar exploration mission developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
Initially scheduled to launch on July 14, 2019, this mega-mission launch was aborted and rescheduled with just an hour to go due to a technical glitch.
