India to Conduct its First Hypersonic Flight Experiment (HEX-01) for AVATAR RLV-TD in March!

I am a bit out of date with space related things. Why do we require a re entry space vehicle when we don't have any international space station. Am I missing something here?

Oh yea like F35 again an Indian project Though you love to wear US flags but that doesnt stop your obsession.

Don't feed the troll man just ignore

Only an Indian can be confused between a LCA and f-35

Hey, he is suggesting that F35 project has been delayed beyond its schedule date.

It is for saving on launch cost rather than making a whole new system for every launch they can do what NASA did with its program.

To place satelites more cheaply

Yes. And I'm sure all Indian projects are always on time. It's widely known.

Has anyone until now used re entry space vehicle to put satellites in space? I haven't heard anybody doing it.

Yes. And I'm sure all Indian projects are always on time. It's widely known.

They are not simple projects with proven technologies. New technologies have to invented and inventions are rarely done on time. Hence such projects always almost miss the time line. You can check F35 or F22 time line.

Shifted to mid 2015, between April-June this year.

A total of four RLV-TD flights are planned by ISRO.

As a south asian, I wish you all good luck!

How do we know if there won't be more delays, I mean shift in the future. India like to shift projects more often than anyone else.

Robin Lawley is fat and ugly.....

Well - they do launch satellites - In fact our own INSAT 1B was launched that way.

But I think it's going to remain a scientific project. At this point there are single stage to space rockets which can also be recoverable. I think that will be the most practical way to get costs down.

Indeed you comparing an ugly golden duckling worth of 1 trillion dollar than a beautiful small plane worth 6 billion dollar.

He is one of our crazies who only trolls. Ignore him...

You hardly crossed 50 posts and you talking about seniors .

What a news???

Party time

Good luck ISRO

Main reason for success of ISRO and failure of DRDO is work culture.
I have 2 friends one from ISRO and one ex-DRDO on basis of their 1st hand account , DRDO has lot of bureaucratic politics and lazy attitude work culture.
ISRO on the other hand has nice warm work environment where ideas and inputs of junior members is given due importance.
A positive change in DRDO work culture can do wonders.

In addition to that,

1) If DRDO fails India buys foreign system, so you know what I meant. Corruption in DRDO and sabotages.

2) Corruption in MoD and armed forces.

3) Less support from Indian industry. European, US and Chinese govt R&D ogrs are heavily supported by private companies but in India except few like L&T, Tata or Godrej we have none . Indians companies prefer to work with politicians for corruption and stealing national resources.

Any pic of real shuttle yet?
