India will launch Agni VI next, says DRDO chief

[boxer_B]

Multi Arm fearsome destroyer of evil.

The Hare Krsnas - Lord Siva's Battles - Virabhadra

LOL, multi arm matches MIRV capability perfectly.

 

[ptltejas]

Thats the spirit. DRDO already started works on MIRV. I think they should consult with ISRO for that. They have good experience in this area. Once PSLV launched 10 satellites at a time.

DRDO had a project in 2010 called '3 ton space payload recovery'. Any idea what is that?

well I search on google and find this Sir.

"Currently DRDO plans to build and fly a scaled-down version of AVATAR, weighing just 3 tonnes at takeoff. The project is headed by Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLV-Technology_Demonstration_ProgramThiruvananthapuram. The mini AVATAR is to be built by a Hyderabad-based private company called CIM Technologies, project completion data is still not finalized. The prototype will be launched using the PSLV and will demonstrate all technologies used in AVATAR including oxygen collection. The aerodynamics characterization of the RLV-TD was done by National Aerospace Laboratories. The AVATAR design has already been patented in India and applications for registration of the design have been filed in patent offices in the United States, Germany, Russia and China."

How was it possible under just 13.6 ton???
Amazing

Yeah, its amazing. US is always ahead of other. USSR/Russia was not far behind.

I think one of reason was small payload. It was carrying single 200 kg W87 thermonuclear warhead. Another reason could advanced composite stages with more efficient fuel.

Great find bro. Yeah it be the link between DRDO's Avatar and ISRO's RLV. But there is no news of its test which was due in 2010.

Yeah America has been ahead of all countries since 60's
put in service in 1970, Minuteman-3 under just 35 ton could travel 13000Km at Mach23

MIRV on an Indian missile will be really cool.

The Superpowers of USA and USSR had it in the sixties. We may be 5 decades late but here we come.

 

[jayron]

How about this Vajrayudha

or what about Vasavi shakti

Both r Weapons of Indra...

I think just "vajra" sounds cool. or "Raksh"?

Agni is the coolest name with 100% success. No need to to change it.
