IsroPR🇮🇳

A few words from our side, since many have asked why we file RTIs on ISRO missions. We're a small bunch of space nerds who follow India's space programme almost religiously. A lot of what ISRO does never gets told in detail, and when official information is missing, guesswork fills the gap. Before this RTI, every EOS-05 spec table online, ours included, described a satellite lost in 2021. That's why transparency matters here. These missions are built with public money. Students, researchers and data users can only use a capability they know exists. And people can only support, question or celebrate a programme they actually understand. Openness builds trust in ISRO; it doesn't weaken it. Every time we file an RTI or publish a report, we see comments saying this shouldn't be public, or that we're helping the enemy. We understand where that comes from, and we take it seriously. ISRO itself never shares anything sensitive. In this very reply, its officer refused every item it treated as classified. Even so, before we publish anything, we check twice: is this worth sharing, and does it carry any strategic angle? We're Indians too. We know where to draw the line, and we will never cross it.

For once, ISRO launched within declared timeline. SSLV-L1 is pending, PSLV-C63, LVM3-M7 and Gaganyaan G1 all slotted by year end. So ISRO has 4 flights in 2 months.
