    @Indx TechStyle Chinese LM5 weighs 800t and can lift 14t to GTO and25t to leo while lvm3 weighs 640t and can lift just 4t to GTO and 10t to leo. It is indeed so inefficient that their GTO lift capctiy is much greater than lvm3's LEO IMHO.

    Initially,even this isn't bad, efficiency may be improved later with new engine. I don't remember that LM2F was as efficient as LM5 is.
    Further even today, mid heavy and heavy launchers are closer in dimensions compared to their payload capacity.

    We need to create medical infrastructure for human habitation in space, or we will be left behind.

    Again, LM5 uses liquid fuel while LVM3 uses solid fuel in the boost stage.

    LM5 boosts for 180 seconds and then uses 3 stages to get to orbit. LVM3 has only a 130 seconds boost stage and then uses only 2 stages to get to orbit. That makes the entire launch very expensive for the LM5.

    The boost stage is where all the weight comes from for LVM3 because of the solid fuel.

    The fact is the Chinese have chased behind capability over efficiency. Whereas ISRO is chasing efficiency over capability.

    Wo bhi thk hai bro but every major space power has better efficiency than us atleast by factor of two Japanese h2a/b , ariane5 , LM5 ....aur agar Liquid propulsion itna hi mehnga hai then why they are using it .........because it gives them desired payload.... 4t vs 14 ton to gto and per unit payload I don't think it is that much expensive ....even if they have double expensive then they can also carry 3.4 times the payload.....we also should go for liquid propulsion if it gives higher payload capacity.

    Why? We don't yet have such a need. We use Ariane if we are launching heavier satellites and that's occasional anyway. A lot of programs have been shut down because of costs.

    Unlike countries like US, China, Russia, France etc, our needs are primarily domestic and our need for heavy launch vehicles is extremely low. Look towards heavy launch capability only after 2020. We are sticking to what we need for now. We can even perform human space flight with the Mk2 and LVM3. That's more than enough for now.

    Compared to the others, ISRO's budget is very small.

    Thk h bro but seriously I don't know why I don't like our tendency to settle with sub-par and sub-optimal things ....hme bhi to mars aur moon pe US ,China ke sath bande bhejne hai future me and Apna Space station bhi chahiye. don't these things require bigger launch systems?

    ISRO's budget is $1.1B.

    NASA's is $37B.

    China's CASC is run like a corporation, with a revenue over $40B.

    Ha, exactly. That is basically a 'powerpoint rocket' which wouldn't get past the preliminary study stage for now.

    Ethanolamine & Hydrogen Peroxide based propulsion.

    India will pursue such projects whenever we decides to increase our footprints in space. Right now we have a huge domestic demands for commercial and national satellites.

    You are right and I don't wanna be like kejru but I don't like our old habit of settling with subpar equipment and systems .

    6ton ko GTO m kaise launch kroge ?Isn't it subpar? LM3b 458 ton -gto payload 5.1t...1996
    lvm3 640t -2017 gto payload 4.5 t.......
    Same with our Forces,Ek rifle aur mmrca nhi select kar sakte itne years se
