A lot of things are happening as Space sector is now open to Private Players.
Some startup is directly building Space-X Engine equivalent in technology level.
It may look inefficient if judged only by its LEO lift figures, but ISRO is shaping this vehicle around deep-space and eventual interstellar mission requirements, and the design is tuned for high-energy injection rather than brute LEO mass. In that sense, its numbers fall in line with other...
But may not have their level of performance owing to lower performance carbon fibre composites. Do you know what level are we at? I think we benchmark against Toray Corporation's carbon fibre. I assume we haven't yet reached T-1000 maybe T-700.
This is second time docking after undocking which itself was after first time docking . This time they achieved Power Transfer between two Satellites which wasn't possible during first time docking. Iterative learning and Improvements.
full scale flight worthy combuster testing soon.
I assume India is 3rd, Americans and Chinese may have tested theirs Scramjet to beyond 1000-Seconds. Would be fourth if Russians also achieved the same with say Zircon but I never saw any definitive proof of it being it as Scramjet.
US DoD has BAE fab with 140nm for GaAs, the workhorse for GaN is 180nm and they are targeting 90nm process. I don't know about others because this is what I got when i searched around. For GAETEC, I think they have been doing GaAs 500nm process node. Now I don't know what process node the above...
@Nilgiri @Gessler Do you think GaAs MMIC are actually fabricated in India from Wafer level? Afterall if there was any there would be announcement right? GAETEC in Hyderabad is a Laboratory but not on level of Industrial or Production ready level to supply to Indian Industry for Radar...
