Indian Space Capabilities

[applesauce]

They are not empty booster, but escape pod release causing the fire ball most probably due to fuel leak. You should be aware that escape pod release on shenzhou happens much before the release of boosters. As far as morale lessons are concerned that better suits your CPC trolls.

And china should be ahead with 8 times GDP.

so your telling me that they broadcast a live manned launch that failed, but the entire world covered it up? all the (real)experts, the americans, russians, japanese, all covered up this incident? and your calling him a troll? lol indians, they cant beat you so they make up lies about you lol

Ahhhh chinese troll I am saying that your astronauts were lucky last time. A short lived fire ball did not cause a blast, you should be concerned about the safety of your Manned launch vehicle.

Any other progresses in manned space mission front?When would we see an Indian manned space mission?

Yeah, crew module environment simulator has been commissioned. My guess, Indian manned mission after 2020. Unmanned orbital vehicle mission by 2018-19.

Here is the video of Shenzhou 9 launch. At 2.55, when the escape tower pod is jettison, there is also an increase in the size of the thrust flame

Soyuz Launch. At 2:35 the escape tower is jettison. Observed the thrust and you also see unusual jet stream emitting.

GSLV D5 Flight Profile

Cryogenic Upper Stage of GSLV D5

Atop the 2540 meters high Devasthal Peak in Uttarakhand, northern India, the largest telescope in the country (3.6m aperture) will open eyes in close future. The site has been nicknamed as ***, or Devasthal Optical Telescope. This photo sequence has captured the startrails over the *** construction.

Restoration of GSLV D5 Mission
Press Release, August 30, 2013

The launch of GSLV D5 with Indian Cryogenic Stage, scheduled for 16:50 hrs on August 19, 2013, had to be called off due to a leak observed in the UH25 Fuel system of the Liquid Second Stage, during the last lap of the countdown. At the time of calling off the Countdown, the GSLV Vehicle was loaded with 210 tons of liquid and cryogenic propellants. About 750 kg of UH25 Fuel had leaked out, leading to contamination of the area around the launch pad. It took 6 days of round the clock operations before the contamination could be reduced to the safe level to enable movement of the GSLV D5 back to the Vehicle Assembly Building. The GSLV D5 Launch Vehicle has been safely moved back to the Vehicle Assembly Building on the early morning of August 26, 2013. The Vehicle has been destacked.

Chairman, ISRO constituted a High Level Task Team on August 20, 2013, chaired by Shri K. Narayana, (former Director of Satish Dhawan Space Centre) to identify the cause of the leak and to work out an action plan for quick restoration of the Mission, taking into account the safety, reliability and life of the Liquid Second Stage and the four Liquid Strap on stages, which were wetted with liquid propellants. The leak is suspected to be in the lower portion of the propellant tank or the fluid lines between the tank and fuel filling system of the Second stage. Detailed investigation of the leak is underway.

The following action plan is put in place:

A new Liquid Second Stage (GS2) is being assembled to replace the leaked stage. All the four Liquid Strap on Stages are being replaced with new ones. The First Stage (Solid) and core base shroud are being inspected and the elements that are affected will be replaced. The Satellite Assembly, Avionics Equipment Bay and the Cryogenic Stage will be preserved, following prescribed practices.

Based on current availability of hardware and components, the GSLV Vehicle assembly and checkout is expected to be completed at the Vehicle Assembly Building by the first week of December 2013 and the launch could take place by December 2013.

That's what i like about ISRO less talk more work kind of like Chinese

 

[peaceful]

Ahhhh chinese troll I am saying that your astronauts were lucky last time. A short lived fire ball did not cause a blast, you should be concerned about the safety of your Manned launch vehicle.

yeah, yeah, this is from a nation with a <70 years life expectancy, from a nation with 50% rocket launch success rate.

shall we go over your fancy GSLV safety record? 6 out of 8 launches failed.

 

[peaceful]

No, they are talking way too much and there is unbeliable corruption in ISRO.

e.g., leaking was identified in the second stage of the GSLV rocket a few weeks ago. surely the rocket was checked before moving to the launch pad. tell me why the investigation didn't report the cause of the leaking? why the investigation doesn't name of person who was responsible for the examination of the rocket before moving it to the launch pad?

not saying the person involved should be removed, however you need to establish the system so good bahavious get rewarded and such bad ones get exposed, examined.

nice rocket. but the indians won't be able to get such kind of rocket in the next 50 years.

Chinese troll failures happen, but unlike your nation, we dont hide our failures and our failures dont kill our own ppl. SO quit trolling and first have guts to question CPC.
