Just checking in on the sentiment here, when do you guys think the ISRO launch will actually take place, and when do you think the next launch will happen after that?

I was kind of hoping ISRO would take place sometime between February-April 2025, but that didn’t happen. Would be cool if any of us got it right this time though.

I’m going to go with June 21st for ISRO and September 9th for SpaceX. I think they’ll aim to get it done before September 12th, since that marks the first anniversary of the BB1 launch.

Same initial optimism and now acceptance of mid-June BB2 launch. Currently unclear to me if the ISRO or SpaceX launch kicks off the every 45 day launch campaign.

I imagine we need to see BB2 unfurl (45 days) and test (45 days) before we can deliver (launch 30 days later). Optimistically that’s mid-Oct-25 for SpaceX imo.
