Conclusion
Launch Capability Development
PSLV payload l d capability, bilit Mission Mi i flexibility, fl ibilit GSLV launch l h capability bilit LVM3 to provide 4 ton to GTO capability by 2012.

L Launch h Service S i Oportunities O t iti

Mini/Mico satellite launch capability in PSLV. Various spacecraft dispensing schemes developed and qualified. Limited dedicated launch feasibility exists in PSLV & GSLV for various types of missions

I d t Participation Industry P ti i ti
60 % of 11th plan outlay was planned through Indian industries. Policy to have Industry as a risk sharing partner in the future endeavors of ISRO ISRO. Increased throughput from industries to cater to the higher launch frequency planned.
