ISRO needs to quickly demonstrate to the global customers that the SSLV is fully capable of carrying a payload of 500 kg and putting it safely at an altitude of 500km. The organisation is also required to ensure the operaltionalisation of the proposed second spaceport at Kulasekharapatnam in Tamil Nadu, besides launching heavy satellites into geostationary orbits. This would also help them to establish capability to carry more than 10,000 kgs to LEO, says Gp Capt Lele.
