UK reportedly plans its own satellite navigation system

CE 7.5 is similar in form, fit & function to Russian KVD 1 stage. It's not a copy.

The first CE 7.5 was ground tested well before the first test flight of GSLV Mk I, which implies that it was designed even before the first Russian supplied flight-worthy stages got here.

Also see this article in which former ISRO Chairman K Radhakrishnan talks about cryogenic engine.

GSLV MkIII, the next milestone

We got cryogenic engine from Russia is 1994. The first GSLV was in 2001. So, do the math whether the first cryogenic engine was designed in India or Russian design
 
Then why are you developing a microsatellit launcher? Develop an HLV in the first try !!!

:ROFLMAO:
I dunno, maybe British have figured out a way to cram the functionality of a full-fledged Nav-Sat in just 100-200 KG. Maybe they are covering their leadership's exposed posteriors as always. Who knows!?

ISRO launches two British earth observation satellites onboard PSLV-C42

India is seeking a larger share of the more than $300 billion global space industry as PM Narendra Modi seeks to project it as a global low-cost provider of services in space.

The Indian Space Research Organization today launched its heavy-weight rocket, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), into orbit carrying two earth observation satellites of Britain’s Surrey Satellite Technology Limited.

PSLV-C42 is carrying two earth observation satellites of Britain’s Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL), NovaSAR and S1-4, weighing 450 kg each.

Today's launch marks the 44th launch of the Indian rocket the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) at Sriharikota, India's rocket port on the coast of the Bay of Bengal in Andhra Pradesh.

India is seeking a larger share of the more than $300 billion global space industry as prime minister Narendra Modi seeks to project it as a global low-cost provider of services in space.

PSLV-C42 is the first fully commercial trip of the year, breaking a five-month-long lull, for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

After a long gap, the Indian Space Research Organisation launched two dedicated commercial satellites.

The two satellites NovaSAR and S1-4 belongs to Surrey Satellite Technologies Limited (SSTL).

Today's launch is a collaboration between Surrey Satellite Technologies Limited and Antrix Corporation Limited, ISRO's commercial arm.

NovaSAR is a S-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite intended for forest mapping, land use & ice cover monitoring, flood & disaster monitoring.

S1-4 is a high resolution Optical Earth Observation Satellite, used for surveying resources, environment monitoring, urban management and for the disaster monitoring.

@BMD UK will need launchers for navigation system. Since UK won't like to go to French Ariane being european without US or India's help UK's navigation system will be non starter....😁😁😁
 
Please report when thread goes off topic.
Shenanigans by mods, censoring facts when they don't like them. Very typical of this site lately.

I think we had established that India got its cryo-engine tech from the Russians before the deletion started.

We will do. It took the UK 7 years to develop an A-Bomb and India 30 years, so what takes you 20 years will take us much less.
 
To get the supersonic engine and fuel technology that India didn't have for the missile.
India provided better seeker technology and funding, which Russia was sorely missing.
Better seeker than Russians? Hmmm. So why buy the S-400 system. You can make big rockets and have better seeker tech than the Russians allegedly, so why buy it?:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Censored what? all offtopic related to UK moved to here. Nothing deleted here.

Again offtopic. Why can't you answer a straight question?

Indian N-Bomb program was sanctioned in 1967 when Mrs. Indira Gandhi became PM & first device was tested in 1974. That's 7 years exactly.

Now you are free to live in your own delusional world....

Pah.


India's loss of territory to China in a brief Himalayan border war in October 1962, provided the New Delhi government impetus for developing nuclear weapons as a means of deterring potential Chinese aggression.[27] India first tested a nuclear device in 1974 (code-named "Smiling Buddha")
