Hi Mate, It is regrettable that you have utilized the term “Bad” numerous times. As it carries a negative connotation, I kindly request that you refrain from using such words in any interview question, as it is a “poor” choice of words when interviewing anyone.
SpaceX is not ISRO, ISRO is a government space nodal agency, and SpaceX is a shareholding private entity where public relations plays a major role in shaping Public opinion, Business interests and Federal considerations.
I understand that ISRO needs a good PR drive, but for them, it's the last choice of preference in their list of important things. It is what it is.

@@Humble_Balaclava Public Relations matter a lot even if it is a Government Agency. NASA could not have landed humans on the moon without the Kennedy Speech. You have to rouse the public to get them to push for better funding. PR is extremely important. You can do great work, but if no one knows you did it, it is pointless.
It's not just about entertainment; it's about inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers. A high-quality video showing stage separation could spark curiosity in children and inspire the younger generation, especially in this age of social media.
faxx, people really underestimate the power of good quality rocket and space views. This is one of the reasons why SpaceX rockets are so popular, especially among youth. Not only is their tech amazing but the views from their missions is so mesmerising to watch
Couldn't agree more@@KAILASCHANDRANM.S
The interviewer is bad at understanding the issues. Limited budgets and launch capacity. He thinks gopros will survive space radiation. He has no idea how harsh the environment is.
@@Aerrow62 I understand,but they should improve the ground cameras and the telemetry overlay. Sometimes it seems like they are pointing their camera at the mission control room screens, showing the rocket animation playing on the screen. I wonder why they can't provide this feed directly to the switcher. The same thing happened during our moon landing.
@@gokux. ISRO barely have enough budget for scientific research
We should not expect refinement on the things which are potentially not needed for the main purpose

We need to increase the quality, Sir. To increase motivation of people towards space.
And Carl Sagan and Galileo became more invested in space after their results came true and understood the massive scale of the Universe, similarly this is not America where people have abundance of tech so anyone interested can see themselves of magic of Universe, we need to make this reach everyone in our country, to show how amazing this mission was otherwise how will they get to comprehend the logic that we are just a speck.
Not all are born scientists, many become after their birth only due to curiosity
Earth end is enough to motivate people Reverse psychology
To be cost effective they used camera what is enough to research it's purpose is not photography or entertain people
Common people are inspired and excited by good visuals, scientific accomplishments should connect most people. PR is essential to bring people’s support for space missions, it persuades political leadership to spend more on space research. I hope ISRO understands the softer aspects and stops being so rigid about purpose.
those people got inspired by the image not the spec of the mission
these people are not going to be a scientist in isro
@@HimanshuSingh-yj2wh Sorry bro, but you have no right to say who'll become or not become a scientist at ISRO, many have their dreams in there.
Agreed somewhat with Somnath sir that purpose is not PR. But the thing is in today's time PR is also important and he himself stated that ISRO is not good at PR work. But I believe it needs to be, in order to inspire the children, students and young scientists. People should know what amazing scientific things ISRO is achieving. This inspires the children. I personally had met few school children who were vry much interested in rockets and space science, although they were aware abt recent ISRO achievements but they knew more SpaceX rockets and systems than ISRO bcoz SpaceX is popular, they are good in PR. ISRO needs to enhance it's PR team and capabilities, bcoz it is not only for ISRO but it matters to India as a nation. Being fascinated by NASA and SpaceX, children want to go there and not to ISRO or any Indian Space Tech company. It is causing the brain drain.
People want Instragram filters used on everything 😂
This is a good question and worth asking. It could have been phrased more respectfully. The gist of the answer is that the quality of outboard cameras is sufficient for the purpose they serve. ISRO is always operating on a tight budget and therefore spending money on secondary or tertiary functions is wasteful.
I understand, but I talk to him like a fellow nerd beyond the position boundaries. I guess he also enjoys that because he gave more time than I requested.
@@GareebScientist haan to sahi kiya aapne. Thora kheech ke rakhna chahiye samne wale ko bhi. 😁
Yes u are absolutely right.. ISRO is always operating on a tight budget..
I don't think ISRO's budget which is 1.6 billion is so tight that it can't maintain good camera quality ,we have gave this is really noob answer what I here from media here there.I have never seen any proof of that.
@@souravchakraborty6121 you 1.6 billion is less for a space program
He got his channel back let's gooo
What happened
It's about spectal, it's about branding, it's about evoking curiosity in the young minds, it's about showcasing indian space prowess to the common people of the world i.e. people beyond the scientific communities.
We should get out of mentality that "Chalta hai toh chalne do". Aesthetic and quality matters. We are visual animals, not some robots.
...And what will you do with those visuals? Should the agency focus on things that matter i.e. the real mission, or waste payload capacity and telemetry bandwidth on high quality images?
@@aashishsharma8133 What payload capacity are you wasting having better sensors? These are not Scientific Cameras he is talking about that need to be Space Hardened. These are the cameras for launch, etc. which will burn up very soon.
Atleast cameras used in launch broadcasting must be improved !

BJP is giving money to the useless states and cutting off Education, Health and Research budgets every year. BJP is destroying future of India from every perspective.
I understand his argument but we do need crisp quality images which help inspire the future generations to work on hard stuff.
Thats not what his exact goal is. He dont want to impress anyone, only want to get the job done and accomplish the scientific experiment. He clearly said the tools are used for the purpose, not for anyone's entertainment.
There are so many engineers in India who want to become ISRO engineers or scientists.
@@realracing3specter295 And who will give more funding if next generation are not interested? You think you can show today's kid Doordarshan quality and expect to rouse their curiosity?
Please use better quality cameras. Whole world was laughing at how poor quality images it were, nobody took us and our achievement seriously. India has yet to learn how to work on image-building and soft power.
Right
exactly. well said.
China's mission videos are usually of low quality too. Only nasa uploads good quality image for PR
I'm patriotic, and there's no doubt that S. Somanath sir is brilliant, but that doesn't mean that brilliant people know everything. He's 61 years old, and he will never fully understand that the modern and young generation gets inspired by seeing good PR. The govt won't reduce ISRO's funding; in fact, they'll increase it, If ISRO use better cameras and better PR, because ordinary people will start enjoying science. All of you who are patriotic and support ISRO, don't you want the govt to increase ISRO's funding so that brilliant minds don't leave for the US? If yes, then good cameras and good PR are necessary. If you don't want to understand, then what can be done. We are very lucky that the majority of our country's population is well-educated when it comes to science; all that's needed is inspiration. Then watch how the govt increases ISRO's funding.
Bro I have been saying this from time again you have to improve the way you ask questions, I mean if you don't have time to frame questions in a better way , ask the community for help , just think about it , if you are going to very straight and blunt about camera quality being poor , it just turns out to be rude even if you don't have that intention , I'm not saying you to address him sir or whatever but you could just frame the questions respectfully which will help him answer comfortably we know we have low budget , less access when it comes to tech , less awareness on how PR works they have significantly improved it in recent times , ig they will improve on this too but we should also give them the time and space.
Frame your question:
Why were the images seen from Chandrayan 3 or Aditya L1 mission are not of great quality , as the kind of pictures you click actually inspires younger generations to explore these fields , imbibes enthusiasm in them like on these lines
You can just pluck him to answer the question without turning out to be rude or whatever at the same time
@@MidTownHomie Good suggestions
I understand, but I talk to him like a fellow nerd beyond the position boundaries. I guess he also enjoys that because he gave more time than I requested.
@@GareebScientistthats not the way ...bro you should ask in a particular way
True the way he asked that question was rude. He could have framed it in better way
Nah I think it was fine
Instead of directly labeling it as bad, you could have approached him more subtly by asking, "When can we anticipate high-quality images or videos from the onboard cameras?" You might have received a similar response while maintaining a more diplomatic tone.
Exactly
The camera quality truly sucks! The launch broadcast as well as the onboard caneras need upgrade. It's should rival SpaceX launches.
Surely we have the technology to make it happen. What's stopping these people at ISRO?
Don't embarrass him😂😂😂

Why are you asking my questions😂 btw luv u gs🎉
What the heck Somnath ji... If you won't accept we're going no where
I agree with him but still they should put a better sensor or camera. Current ones are pathetic or what some might say shameful in modern standards
Whatever Dr. Somenath said here don't matter much. The main thing is GS put this thought in Somenath Sir head and I am pretty sure he will look into this whether he admit it or not. Remember once GS complaint about some details not getting released like earlier it used to be released and the PR thing in earlier GS interview and we saw changes after that, not necessary happened due to that interaction only but we saw what happened after that.
Lets see. Chandrayaan 3 was supposed to silent PR. Not much. Then after the interview things changed. May not be because of the interview. But one can only hope
Iss video bohut dino se intejaar ta. Want to know all questions answer please upload quickly ❤
I don't like his response to this. Even if he does not admit it on camera, he should definitely rectify the problem.
What kind of answer is that. Better cameras are neither expensive nor bulky. If other agencies are doing it, why it is a big deal of ISRO.
The BUS that carries data is the issue for eg. A .5mm wire cannot effectively carry 16Amp current. like this ISRO's older BUS cannot carry a large amount of data generated by 1080p@60fps or 4K@30/60fps.
Cameras for space are special. Your phone camera can't survive space or launch for 1sec
@@Dr.Kraig_Ren The question was not in relevance to long term cameras that require space hardening, but for cameras that show high definition videos of launches, etc. They don't need space hardening.
During launch also the video quality is not high definition
Many youngsters see the videos and dream to work in ISRO
These videos increase motivation among us

Even the rocket launch videos are so bad compared to other countries launch videos. we won't ear the roaring engine sounds nor any good quality zoom of flying rockets. Look at SpaceX, Nasa, Esa launch videos, they use multiple high quality cameras, multiple angles as well as drones to capture the footage with natural rocket sound roaring through the sky. 😢
Well put
yea even we have drones, they have shown multiple times its views during rollout videos of the rocket, but they dont put in the effort to bring those views in launch streams, I get it that its not required, but if you do it, it wont cause any harm either, it will only look better
Budget. Even a high quality camera requires money that needs to be deducted from research missions
I hope human mission footage will improve
I agree with his reply. SpaceX and other company NEEDS to do things for PR. ISRO is more focused towards making mission possible with the least cost possible. If you can cut ₹20,000 from the mission expenses by not adding a camera or reducing it's quality that's anyway is not useful to achieve mission's objective why wouldn't you do it?
Indian companies should come forward to offer better sensors and gadget at the same price they are acquired now.
Thank you so much for your questions bro it is very much needed to make a spark. Every questions and every perspective must be asked, And S Somnath making lots of mission very good leader for ISRO. I was surprised the number mission has been announced which is good to hear about it.
The problem is deep. When was the last time you looked at a government building or agencies which looked aesthetically pleasing, modern and appealing? Many offices of Govt across the nation is built 'functional' just to serve the purpose. The color scheme, aesthetics, cleanliness, hygiene never makes it even as secondary priority. That's why you see from buses, trains, airports, roads, sidewalks, city planning, drainage system, building all messed up. It's disheartening to note Mr. Somnaath is condescending in his answer. Today the world works default on 720p. Next generation Indians are no less than their peers, they want their nation to stand tall amongst other countries. If the attitude of indian govt heads is nonchalant it will discourage youngsters to go elsewhere. I still remember when India in 80s and 90s looked like North Korea. With limited choices and amenities. Those were dark times as growing up as teens. Yes things were simple but access to hospital, clean toilets, etc were scarcity. Troubled times. So please dont keep us in the same condition. It's sad Govt under modi is also seems to carry the same attitude of old administration of congress
The soviets were able to send a surface color HQ image of venus in the 1980s.Meanwhile we are getting this kind of bad images from a onboard rocket camera in 2024.
This is a spot on question which if rectified could tremendously increase how ISRO space mission are viewed globally. I’d any day vouch for scientific purpose over cinematography but;
The 15min use case, so disposable low quality sensor is an avoidable design decision
bro your language was harsh and rude. you could have asked more politely way with respectful language.
Exactly..... No one will entertain such a arrogance with which he is asking.
Somanth Sir literally gave him more time than was allocated, why would he do that if he felt the question was rude?

"Our job is not to entertain but to satisfy scientific curiosity"
Is that an oxymoron?
Exactly. After all gov employ sarkari babu se kya hi expect kr skte ho.
Then they should not expect any kind of support from common people just satisfy scientists only.
Isro is like if it is working don't change it😅😂
😅a question that always bugged me but this organization is a gem and this answer proves it even more
Nice question, moon rover are also not good.
The boomers who grew up with black and white TV are happy with the 360 p images of space …They will never understand our concern…they might still be watching 480 p cable Tv in their 32 inch 720 p TV
The idea is to capture images of scientific value rather than cinematic value. This is something people should understand.
isro should also inspire young students. You have seen many people wearing and flaunting Nasa tshirts. How many have you seen wearing ISRO merch?
@@guruprasadr6743 Ppl like u like to be mediocre and keep others also mediocre. Now u will say sending equipment in space is no mediocre job while conveniently ignoring the context in what I said it.
Dude PR matters. otherwise no one gives a sh*t about ISRO. not even Indians. they would rather go and see high quality 4k launches of NASA or SpaceX.
Then you will see most of the the younger people move in to USA as soon as they get the chance. Because USA doing both. Don't talk about budget here. When mission cost thousands of crores, a hundred crore should be invested extra for it. And i don't blame isro alone, i blame the government too. They still don't understand how Gen Z thinks
@@abeerik5591 You judge too soon. I don't advocate mediocracy. On the contrary I think Isro needs to think big and move to heavier nextgen reusable rockets and also consider next gen technologies like nuclear propulsion. That's hardly the thought of a mediocrat. However if you have done science or image analysis you would realize that images of scientific value are different from those of photogenic value and considering the lighter payloads the rockets can carry they need to pack in what they want. We need to demand that they build heavier carrying rockets.
It transcends mere entertainment; it's about catalyzing the intellectual curiosity of the next generation of scientists and engineers. A meticulously crafted video demonstrating booster separation or stage separation has the potential to ignite profound interest in young minds and serve as a source of inspiration, especially in this social media-saturated era.
Aaj to bhai ne kamjor nas dba hi di😂😂
😄
Somnath Sir needs to realise that if you are only satiating scientific curiosity without bothering about creating new curiosity in younger people, then his will be the last generation that has this curiosity. It is a bad excuse to give.
Just shows that you don't care enough about the scientific curiosity. That 'science' is what *really* matters, not your high quality videos that you will probably watch once on you tube and forget.
@@aashishsharma8133 This is such a narrow viewpoint it is insane. I haven't said that they should not satiate scientific curiosity, I simply said that not focussing on improving outside quality will come back to bite them.
Let me set a simple example, lets say you have better cameras which show better footage. Better footage causes more people to engage in the launches and create curiosity in the young ones. These same kids will end up growing up and pressurising governments to fund better quality space missions.
If we just accept anything, nothing will improve. SpaceX and Blue Origin are way younger than ISRO but still have more people flocking to view their launches, that too across the globe. Please update that narrow viewpoint otherwise we will be stuck in the past with the minuscule funding ISRO gets.
Jo dikhta hai vo bikta hai, we should put HR cameras to capture at least first few moments of liftoff and last few of touchdown if not continuous beaming one, visualizing matters

Good question asked. What i feel is the cost cutting aspect. Basically ISRO is trying to work with limited resources which makes sense at the end of the day.
Respectfully disagreeing about it is not for PR. PR is an essential part of ISRO like organization to educate, to inspire others and involve the Indian public and connected. I remember the day when Chandrayan failed and the feeling of not landing, since I felt connected and appreciated effort because there was PR attached to that
I don't agree with him. You do need PR, good camera quality to show us how everything looks like. Nothing bad in it. Even cameras used to take video or photo for liftoff are poor
Glad that you are Back.
Well, he has to defend ISRO even though he knows the question is 100% right

If anyone can pass this message to Sir, with all due respect PR is everything, good presentation will bring money from babus and international communities will take note on our progress. Presentation is everything, period. It helps in everything. Inspiring next generation of dreamers, bring talented people on the table. Any cheap android phone can do all the things an iPhone can do may be better but people go for iphones if they can afford. Few thousand extra dollars on good camera per launch and a good tv presentation will make a hell lot of difference in perception. ISRO is a synonym of cheap and nobody respect cheap when it comes to the high table. We can only express anger when western media portrays ISRO with farmer with his cow till you get this message clear.
But, then when we talk about NASA's camera quality or picture resolution is much better than that of ISRO. We've seen in SpaceX crew 9 launch.. while docking & rendezvous thy took the best quality...more seems like a movie..

@@sagar9703 Ah yes, adding better imaging equipment on an already multi-million dollar project is surely going to be hell lot of expensive. It's not like ISRO has not done this in the past. 🙄
More money is spent on statues , cow shelters and temples,
The trade-off between resolution and durability is crucial in space missions. High-resolution sensors may provide better quality images, but if they degrade rapidly or fail due to environmental factors, their utility is limited. Legacy cameras, on the other hand, may offer lower resolution but are optimized for longevity and stability in harsh conditions. This balance between performance and reliability is why space agencies like ISRO often prefer older, more robust technologies ; Moreover, even with advancements in robotic repairs or modular designs, the process of swapping out sensors in a space environment-especially in deep space or on distant missions-remains risky, time-consuming, and resource-intensive. This is why robust, radiation-hardened, and highly reliable sensors are prioritized over higher-tech but more delicate alternatives. The focus is often on ensuring long-term functionality with minimal maintenance, rather than using the latest technology which might require frequent replacement or repairs.
Ai?
Typical indian defense mode, you confuse the questioner
A very good and productive conversation. The interviewer is also knowledgeable as the scientist himself. Good video. Thanks.
Lack of aspirations very small mindset..not in competition not want to be with competition with top thats y India's most talented people go outside India..
Agreed with Somnath ji ✅
DD bought 2.5million cameras in the 1970s which are safely stored in the safehouse. As per CAG report, they have to exhaust these first before they can go to market and buy new cameras.
A lot of things goes into making the camera operational in space environment. NASA uses custom made GoPro cameras to mount on space suits of astronauts in the ISS. I think ISRO will definitely use something like that in Gaganyan mission.
The reply was not like scientist it was like some sarkari babu
After-all gov job wle you cant expect good response
DRDO has the same problem No PR Good Quality Videos and Images. The Indian Air Force has increased the quality a lot.
I think with the current budget we are doing great in many ways so we can't say its a bad image.
They need to do PR to inspire younger generation to be interested in space science
isro please watch space x , it is just a private company, also indian government please give more budget for isro
please dont interrupt guests..... gareeb sir..... slowly improve, this part in future interviews
I disagree wholegeartedly. When a guest starts to digress from what was the main question, it becomes important to bring the person back on track. Otherwise you will have a whole interview where the interviewer is asking one question while the interviewee is answering something else entirely. It is highly important to interrupt otherwise we won't find out anything.
To inspire youth...these images and videos are very needed
Bad means bad, not matter what is the purpose, even 1972 moon mission camera are High quality.. ofcourse they don't it the purpose of PR but they can..
Well sir with all due respect, but budgeting is provided by the common people and they have full right to see the quality images as well
Its our start in space industry, we must be positive about it.
And image quality in moon mission was way much better than other space agency.❤
Your heart is in the right place but not the mouth 😂😂😂
I hate to imagine what our military cameras resolution are...
🤣
Dear Somnathji ! We are satisfied with your explanation for the Quality of our Satellite Camera Pictures. It can be further tried for enhancement of pictures. It may be sufficient for scientific purposes. But for projection to lay people, a good visual picture always has a great role in human understanding and assimilation
Those who are mocking ISRO, please do join ISRO and contribute your genius. With limited budget they have achieved so much, appreciate that. By comparison NASA and spacex has far bigger budget.
You could have rephrased your question as, "Why does ISRO use low-resolution cameras" instead of calling it bad.
Could have asked the same question in a better way
These little conscious conservations and responsible use of our resources is why our ISRO have been able to do much despite having a comparatively low budget.
I agree with Somanath Ji's Explaination but anyways thanks for asking
What ever isro doing is really praise worthy. Respect from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Finally somebody said it.. images of moon and mars was so blurred
My man didn't got the point. He keeps repeating purpose. Kudos to youtuber giving him points how to answer 😅😅😅
Semiconductor Laboratory (SCL) Chandigarh is still in 180nm. If it was on pace with the current world (2nm to Angstrom) we would have had our own TSMC in India ❤
Queen's stage separation cameras 😭
I think it's more because of radiation hardening of camera sensors which takes a lot of work and becomes expensive at the end camera sensors may be cheaper but radiation hardening any Electronics is bit expensive. I had asked this question once to a ISRO researcher who visited our college but he said it's confidential to talk about our radiation hardening process.
Dear Gareeb Scientist, you may try to find a stringent "space qualified high resolution", "financially viable" for a non-scientific but PR actions. "Bad" or "good" is a relative. If some requirements for future exists for specific mission requirements for launch vehicle frame captures, ISRO shall definitely put it with an amicable compromise to financial requirements.
What’s stopping ISRO from buying off the shelf and using on the launchers. Every other space agency is moving towards that. It’s not like ISRO is working with external contractors. All of this is in-house.
ISRO chief finally clarified with his statement. They literally don't want to entertain even those people who is curious about ISRO projects and maybe in future one of those wants to join ISRO 😒.
Finally we hand an answer
We need to have 4-6 cameras to get the clarity i.e. merging 6 shots ( 6 pixel) into a single image. But these sats are put to demonstrate the space power rather than the imaging ,but they will not accept it 😅
Nice question and reasonable answer. I am sure that ISRO will take this issue into consideration for the future as good images are important not just for the scientists, but also to capture the imagination of future ISRO scientists right now studying in schools.
can you ask why they don't pay people in internship despite a lot of yearly isro budget not bieng used (he mentioned in ranveer podcast)
many bright kids avoid isro internship since they don't pay
Isro is a government public company you should provide
Good quality photos and documentation like spacex or nasa
