The thrust is 500t. The original words was "more than 4 times of 120t engine".

I'm gonna cry thank you for posting this I had a similar proposal during one of our GSLV workshop thank you I'm so happy

WOW! It looks like you have quite an engineering background... just like some other members here who are versed in various tech things.

I had to search to learn that GSLV is Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle

This means that the lander has a direct communication link to the earth albeit limited bandwidth.

Is there any statement or rumour on how much bandwidth they have right now (obviously without the orbital relayer in place)

16 bits per second. That would correspond to one pixel per second for a 16-bit grayscale image.

Well, what can I say. I think its better to wait for the orbiter to come in place before any image transmission happens..
