Indian Space Capabilities

u think s


really??

because isro's budget is only 1 billion dollars and its far too small to keep on doing everything.
and by the way gslv is india's future..................without it we are dependant on others,,,,so all the teams should have been working on that only,we can always plan these missions in the future but gslv is needed for heavier satellites as soon as possible.

besides payload on mom is only like 20 kg or something so in reality it would have been better had we done this mission with gslv in 2016 window as it would have used way bigger and useful payload.


anyone is free to disagree but the fact remains that this mission has little importance except for the pride

All the teams can't work on any single program. There are separate teams that would be working on the rocket programs, the satellites programs and others. These are specialized skills.

I do hope the teams are working in parallel and this mission has not taken away resources from the GSLV program. I agree that is critical for the future.

I don't think this project was a huge part of ISRO's budget to put on hold everything else.

actually this constituted 10 percent of the budget.................the rest is usually for satellites only so the r and d stuff for gslv and others is affected.

please don't get me wrong,,,i just wanted the mission in 2016 with gslv as it would have easily lifted with an orbiter at least twice the size of current one with much more instruments and payloads than the current one,,,,,,,,,thats my point

I think the current mission will give a lot of learnings for the future larger programs.

It's a good first step and a small one. That is how I would look at it.

Jab koi Maya chips ka flavor taste Kare toh ho toh 20 ka packet karidte ho ya 5 ka

With this launch we will be able to gain knowlage for a mars mission
It is a long journey million things can go wring
So why not send a small rocket for testing first then send the biggies

India has much much better Air power than ours but they just lack one thing Called as GUTS....

Its not that... We don't have some thing other called "NEED" . Why should we attack others. there is no need for it. after all it will hurt others..

Mars craft’s orbit boosted again.

Early on Saturday, spacecraft specialists of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) succeeded again in boosting the apogee of the Mars spacecraft, which had been put into earth-orbit on November 5.

It was the third time that the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (Istrac) at Bangalore had commanded the 440-Newton engine on board the Mars orbiter to fire. The engine promptly swung into action, using its liquid propellants, from 2.10 a.m. At the end of nearly 12 minutes, the spacecraft’s apogee had been raised from 40,186 km to 71,636 km.

The ISRO had already boosted the Mars spacecraft’s orbit twice, first on November 7 and again on November 8. Three more orbit-raising manoeuvres remain — on November 11 and 16, and December 1.

On December 1 — “the D-day”, as ISRO Chairman K. Radhakrishnan called it — the Mars spacecraft will be slung out of its geo-centric (earth-bound) orbit into a helio-centric (sun) orbit, and the spacecraft will cruise around the sun for the next nine months. On September 24, 2014, when the spacecraft is closest to Mars, it will be manoeuvred and captured in the Martian orbit with a peri-apsis of 377 km and apo-apsis of 80,000 km by firing the engine again and reducing the spacecraft’s velocity.

The restart of the spacecraft’s propulsion system after it has hibernated for about 300 days in deep space will be one of the biggest challenges that the ISRO will face in its maiden interplanetary mission. The ISRO has done a series of tests at the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) in Mahendragiri, Tamil Nadu, to simulate the re-start of the engine in deep space.

There is also provision for mid-course corrections of the spacecraft’s trajectory.

are u sane??

what guts are u talking about??
like when 93000 of ur soldiers surrendered instead of fighting??

This thread is not about air power.

And yes, Hamne Bangladesh ko hanste khelte bana diya, Didn't need any guts.

The opposition just threw the guns to the ground and hands in the air at the first sight of our soldiers.

some ppl are delusional............its fine

but what do u do when whole nation is delusional??

YA ya your motto is "BY THE WAY OF DECEPTION"...! Come on head to head.

While India’s Mars Mission has set off on its maiden journey, here’s another space project on the cards. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) and Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) are in talks to jointly develop a dual frequency radar satellite.

The project will augment remote sensing technology infrastructure, say senior Isro officials. “In what will be a first-of-its-kind endeavour, the satellite will be able to operate in two frequencies, both in bands lower than KU-Band or AA-Band,” a senior scientist at the space agency said.

Stating that Isro has already conducted preliminary talks with Nasa’s space communications and navigation program office for the project, another scientist said that Isro will provide the spacecraft for the project. While the US will supply the L-band, India will take care of the S-band.

Commenting on the project, expected to see the light of day sometime in 2020 or later, Isro chairman K Radhakrishnan said: “It’ll be a synthetic aperture radar. It’ll change the way things are done.”

Nasa, while confirming that its office has had “…initial discussions on a potential deep space communication programme,” maintained that the talks are in too preliminary a stage for the US agency to comment further.

Sources in Isro said the satellite will help enhance remote sensing by improving the resolution of images. Isro also plans to develop remote sensing satellites with more autonomy, enabling them to identify areas of focus. “Today, satellites send us an array of images and we have to pick areas of importance. In future, we would like to have smart satellites,” a senior official said. The exact application of the L-Band is being worked out, the official added.

The space agencies are also exploring possible co-operation in the fields of heliophysics (physics of the Sun). Isro has Aditya-1, a proposed scientific mission designed to study the solar corona, in the pipeline. “The objective of the project is to achieve a fundamental understanding of the physical processes that heat the corona, accelerate the solar wind and produce coronal mass ejections,” Isro said.

Once cleared, Aditya-1 will be launched into an 800-km polar orbit, and the agency will again use the trusted Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) platform, given the designated orbit.
