(completed) Merger of ULV

I suggest that ‘Unified Launch Vehicle’ should be merged with this article (per WP:MERGE). Your (The editors) thoughts would be appreciated and will be helpful to continue the process! Thanks. — AKSHADÉV™ 💬 17:27, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Merge proposal 31 July 2023

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was: merged. Theknowhowman (talk) 07:37, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

I propose merging Unified Launch Vehicle (ULV) into Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV). Initially it was planned as ULV to phase out existing ISRO rockets (PSLV and GSLV) but later on, it was rebranded as NGLV. See this. A merge would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in NGLV.

Pinging @Cocobb8, Footy2000, and Theknowhowman: for their opinions. — AKSHADÉV™ 💬 09:27, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

I agree for the merge. ULV was a conceptual launcher and design/names for rockets in development change frequently over time. Not so long ago Starship was named Mars Colonial Transporter (MCT), it was then renamed to Interplanetary Transportation System (ITPS), then to Big Falcon Rocket (BFR) and finally to its current name of Starship. There have been significant changes in design for both NGLV and Starship ever since they were first revealed. Wikipedia is not a statistical website (WP:NOTSTATS) to store details about proposed rockets, so I think a redirect from ULV to NGLV would be good with latest design configuration and development history of NGLV added to the NGLV article. Footy2000 (talk) 19:08, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

@Footy2000: Then I think we should proceed because WP:MERGE suggests that if the merger is uncontroversial, we can just do it. Would it be ok? — AKSHADÉV™ 💬 16:46, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

support As they are now referring to Next generation launch vehicle and not unified launch vehicle. www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/science/isro-readies-plan-for-next-generation-launch-vehicle/article66946403.ece Theknowhowman (talk) 15:06, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

LMLV?

according to

It seems that the NGLV project (the ULV project) has been scrapped, and this new Lunar Module Launch Vehicle's core alone portion will do the NGLV-H's Heav lifting roles. The source also says that LMLV is a direct derivative, or improved version of technolgies that have been developed for the NGLV Program. Will this affect the shaping of the article in any way? 4-RΔ𝚉🌑R-01𝕏 (talk) 15:08, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

Payload 1,215 tons -

Article says "a load of 20 to 1,215 tonnes" and ref says "The ISRO chairman said that the space agency is “developing a new rocket that will be able to carry a load of 20 to 1,215 tonnes,” noting that currently, India’s rocket can only take 10 tonnes."
- 1215 tonnes is huge, not mentioned in infobox . What config NGLV rocket could launch 1215 tonnes ? - Rod57 (talk) 21:22, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

I've tagged it as dubious. The source in question (Moneycontrol) cites the interview from All India Radio News, but the article linked doesn't mention anything about the payload mass, so I can't verify it. I think it must be a mistake - maybe it's launch mass? 1,215 tonnes of payload mass is obviously absurd. IrisPersephone (she/her) (talk • contribs) 15:55, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
