Raman-1 has wrapped its test fire and is ready for Flight 2. 🚀
This is the thruster that controls Vikram-1’s roll, the rotation around the rocket’s long axis, so the vehicle holds its orientation in flight. Here’s the run from the test stand.

Our kind of fireworks! 🔥🚀
Wishing everyone a Happy Diwali filled with light, energy and new beginnings!
Secretary -MoES witnessed the ongoing unmanned trials of human submersible MATSYA for its floatation, submerged stability, ballast systems along with all subcomponents.. The vehicle successfully completed the tests as per test protocol to proceed for the next testing phase of MATSYA.

NVS-03 : Four orbit manoeuvres have been successfully completed with a cumulative LAM engine burn of 6164 seconds. With this the satellite has reached Geo Synchronous Orbit (35765 km x 36196 km) at an inclination of 29.98°. The satellite health is normal.

300+ Indians have spent years of their lives building satellites and critical technology for this country. They deserve better than having their work and patriotism questioned by manufactured controversies.
I owe them a response. Here it is:
NVS-03: First orbit raising LAM burn with duration of 2174.8 seconds, has been successfully completed on 31 October 2026 at 16:48 hrs (IST). Estimated orbit after the burn is 5477.6 x 37833.4 km. The satellite health is normal.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure to inform you that GSLV (the best rocket ever) has hit a 75% success rate😎
(I'm GSLV gang btw)
Mission Success!
GSLV-F18 has successfully placed NVS-03 in the intended orbit.
Congratulations!

We questioned what was actually aboard EOS-05. Then we took those questions to ISRO through RTI.
Our original article flagged that the widely repeated instrument specifications belonged to the lost EOS-03 / GISAT-1. Had the payload changed? We explicitly raised added thermal capability as one possibility.
ISRO’s reply now confirms: EOS-05 carries a six-band long-wave infrared imager that EOS-03 did not have with 1,180 m resolution and a 378 km swath.
This establishes an important difference between the two spacecraft: EOS-05 has thermal imaging capability that extends observation beyond daylight.
It also corrects our earlier article’s statement that EOS-05 had no thermal band.
Beyond that confirmation, our RTI obtained detailed payload specifications, swath widths, propellant mass, design life and power figures. Some questions remain unanswered.
From the uncertainties we flagged to the answers ISRO provided read our full breakdown and the RTI reply:

Replying to @debapratim_
Forgot to attach the photo earlier. The one you shared is a Thruster valve with upstream latching functionality (Latchable Series Redundant Valve or LSRV) which is typically used in slightly smaller thrusters like the 10N, 22N etc but for bigger thruster systems (1/n)
An old schematic of satellite propellant system that might be helpful in understanding NVS-03 changes.
