(completed) Merger of ULV

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

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)Reply

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)Reply

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: 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)Reply

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)Reply

LMLV?

according to

• ISRO Charts Roadmap for Lunar Base and Mars Settlement by 2047 For India | Industry - Times Now
• For lunar missions, ISRO building its heaviest rocket ever | India News - The Indian Express

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)Reply
