India: From ferrying rockets on cycles to eyeing Mars

We are already developing cryogenic engines.

Yes, that you are doing since 1857.

Yes, that you are doing since 1857.

Do you know how complex the task is? Rome was not built in a day

The much-awaited Geo-synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) launch with indigenous cryogenic stage engine will take place in Sept-Oct 2012, even as an experimental flight of its upgraded GSLV-Mark III version is also on the cards during this year.

The fuel-booster turbo pump, that failed during the first launch of GSLV with indigenous cryogenic stage in April 2010, has now been modified and a series of ground tests were on to soon enable its successor flight, Indian Space Research Organisation chairman K Radhakrishnan said.

Much-awaited GSLV in Sept-Oct: Isro

Oh, so you have now understood how to assemble it properly.

Yes, that you are doing since 1857.

No. The project was initiated only in 1990. In 1857 Pakistan was part of India

Why build Rome for decades when one can leech on others Rome.

India struck a deal with Russia to provide hydrogen-fueled rocket engines and technical know-how.

The agreement was quashed in 1992 after U.S. authorities imposed sanctions on Glavkosmos, the Russian company providing technology to India. The United States feared the transfer of missile technology from the fractured Soviet Union to developing states.

India responded by purchasing seven readymade cryogenic engines from Russia and starting the design of an indigenous upper stage from scratch.

Cryogenic engine and Rome - Both were not assembled in a day - I agree.

Cryogenic engine and Rome - what is the connection here.

Did the Italians help in its completion.

 

[ares]

Yes, that you are doing since 1857.

Achieve even one tenth of what we have achieved in space technology, before coming here and passing your snide remarks!!

 

[IndoCarib]

Oh, so you have now understood how to assemble it properly.

cryogenic engine is not toy that can be assembled. This is beyond your comprehension, dont embarrass yourself

 

[ajtr]

Yes, that you are doing since 1857.

I thought that we were doing it from 7000 BC when someone threw spanner on one of the scientist his tooth then fell from rocket in mehghar.......

 

[Yeti]

Why build Rome for decades when one can leech on others Rome.

For the simple fact such as US pressure we had no choice but to go it alone but in the long run this will pay off more.

 

[INDIC]

Yes, that you are doing since 1857.

We have many successful tests in few years. Russians refused to sell cryogenic engines because of American pressure. So, we have to develop our own.
