What !!!!! I didnot commented in this thread .....

Best of luck , ISRO .

 

[Sliver]

a heartening thread. After all the bashing between the countries, It is great to see
- a chinese encouraging Indian achievement
- The Indian humbly accepting Chinese will reach developed state faster and actually inspired by it
- A Pakistani poster saying "atleast one south asian country" going in the right direction
- A Srilankan commending Indias achievement

All that remains is a BD poster now and we are seeing the seeds of some semblance of mutual admiration everywhere.

All the best to the new developing nations which are the growth engines for the future - we need China to run the world's growth and India to take over when China reaches the final stage.

India must be congratulated for being able to conduct such mega and prestigious project, if any neighbor, BD/PK, criticizes your such project, understand they are burning.

The trolling & Bashing begins

Wow, India is not just sending something to Mars, you guys are sending a car sized satellite

Congratulations and wish you complete success!

The article mentioned India's intention of "beating China" to it but was denied by ISRO chairman. Maybe the reporter him/her self and laymen like us want to think that way. But I really don't believe the two countries are in a race in space programs. We are simply taking different paths. China's main goal in the near term is to establish a space station, then explore the moon. Such a goal is relatively easier to accomplish and has great potential practical benifits such as utilzing the resources on the moon. India's aim seems to be bigger and futher. Not only the moon, but exploring mars is in scope as well.

It's interesting that the two countries' economic growth follow very different paths as well. China started by trying to industrialize itself and take on the manufacturing jobs of the world. India never seems to wanted to take that low, hard approach. They go right into developing its serivce industry. While China's approach achieved a sustained high growth, the collateral damage on the environment and people is tremendous. India's development is cleaner, quicker but its economy is more dependent on international environment, especially the financial market. But if India succeeded, it will be the first country in human history that transformed itself to advanced economy without having to go through industrialization. We shall see.

Are you really a Chinese ?? I can't believe what my eyes just read.

Go and jerk on your real flag.

Instead of quoting him, just Report his Troll Post's, so that he can soon turn Pink.

Well I said what I said because I was truely impressed. Now the news has also shown up on Chinese media but with no pictures and details remain scarce. I'm interested in the following:
1. How heavy is the payload?
Chinese media reports 1350 kg. But it's not clear whether it is the mass of the satellite or the entire rocket payload. That begs the second question:
2. Which rocket will be used to send this babe up?
Is it PSLV-C20? Is this rocket up to task? It's one thing to send something to the moon or Earth orbit, it's entirely another to go to Mars. You will need a very powerful rocket in order to escape the Earth gravity.
3. How long is the orbitor's expected life span?
4. Is Mar's lander on ISRO's roadmap?

Once again, congrats. All the best!

This should answer some of your questions.
