for this kind small satellite , China only needs to use private commercial space launch service, some with capacity matched to ISRO's biggest rocket, such as Gravity -1 with payload 1-6 tons to LEO, for up to date in 2024, China space launches, 42, India so far, 3.

@DeepashisChattopadhyay the gap with India in space over the years is actually enlarged, not narrowed, ISRO is too far behind China in space now. no possibility for ISRO to catch up

ISRO with $1.6 billion budget a year, what they do with this money???? just send a 500 kg satellite?? Indian tax payers are all fooled by ISRO, they wasted all their money, when they claim ISRO is with low cost, actually, with its accumulated failures and no significant results from space, such as so far still cannot send a single person into 200 km above earth in space, showed, it is just an incompetent institution, just like cannot make any weapon DRDO.

in 2009, India claimed they would send a man into space by 2015 "India to launch its first astronauts into space by 2015 Asian space race: £1.7bn plan seen as attempt to catch up with China" ""Isro has done an expert job and it needs to be supported," said Montek Singh Ahluwalia, deputy chairman of the Planning Commission. The Human Space Flight project is to have two phases: an unmanned flight launched in 2013-2014 and a manned mission the following year." ______________Randeep Ramesh in Delhi Mon 23 Feb 2009 12.52 EST I forgot what is the year now??

ISRO seems to be moving backward. While other countries are consistently trying to launch more payload into space, India is focusing on 500 kg payloads, despite having a theoretical maximum payload capacity to LEO of 10 tons, which ISRO has never actually achieved. In comparison, China now has a LEO capacity of 25 tons, which is why each module of China's space station weighs around 22-23 tons. China is also developing 70-ton and 140-ton payloads rockets for its manned moon project, with the goal of sending Chinese astronauts to the moon by 2030. Meanwhile, India still hasn't managed to send a single person 200 km above the Earth.
