Iran Plans to Send Humans to Space by 2016

[mike2000 is back]

that has sadly been the partial reason... the typical indian cultural attitude of rejection of risk-taking and radical innovation kept the indian agency ( isro ) into making satellites... when the first south asian space traveler, rakesh sharma, was sent to "salyut 7" space station of ussr in 1984, even that didn't make isro enthusiastic into having a human space program.

lack of money is not the excuse or cannot be the excuse, because india in the last 15 years or so has become the biggest armaments/military-systems importer in the world and that was huge money spent.

india as a society must change its non-innovative attitude.

I disagree, India has made plans to send human to space for a while now, its just that it doesn't have the proven capabilities as of yet to carry out such a mission safely. It needs a bigger OPERATIONAL rocket, and few tests and reserve a considerable amount of funds before it can even start contemplating of carrying out such a mission. You should know Human space flight mission isn't any joke, lite mistake can be fatal and very damaging for a country, whereas an unmanned satellite launch doesn't carry such risks/implication. So India should take it easy and go it slow on this one, no rush. Its not a race after all(well i hope).

except for the money part partially, it is a myth... the chief designer of spacex is elon musk and spacex had to innovate and simplify to build their own rockets and space capsules... spacex started with 100 million dollars of elon musk's money.

their first two spacex rockets, falcon-1 type, failed before spacex learned more about launches and rocket systems... look at their dragon capsules... different from what nasa built, even i suppose during the 60's/70's phase of nasa human launches.

i believe this "spacex is nasa" is a indian myth on the same lines as "35 percent of nasa scientists are indians" or "microsoft will die if its indian employees quit".

@C130 @Peter C - your opinion??

I do not know the employee makeup of SpaceX but NASA still builds rockets so it wasn't like the whole crew jumped ship. Plus there are other companies too.

What status of SUPERCO in Space race ?? still stuck in Stationary purchases ???

UAE already in Space race to Mars ...

Just googled UAE and saw: Mohammad Bin Rashid Space centre. It is impressive. I hear a lot form UAE and Qatar for the past few years. Wherever there is money and will there is no shortage of human intelligence. The GCC countries are having the most students in Imperial college, Surrey (as far as I know) and I am sure other countries.

There was a startup in Ottawa working on LTE stacks and funded by Qatar (some kind of grant by government). Millions of dollars and they finally succeeded and had no shortage of funds. Such programs will finally work and give fruit. I hope Iran and GCC work together on this.

STOP TAKING ABOUT INDIA. This is a thread about Iran's human space flight. Keep your Indosession out of it, kthxbai.

ahahhahahah...........made me laugh out loud. Nice 1.

 

[C130]

I don't see why this isn't impossible. USSR and US both send a man in space in 61', and China did it in 2003.


just need a rocket and a capsule.

do a few orbits come back down, and bam you got propaganda victory.

 

[Hack-Hook]

you are asking why we haven't seen the Qaem. I say for the same reason we have archived our 5 ready to launch satellites. simply there is no will.
1.cause Rohani is afraid his uncle sam would go angry.
2.credit would go to Ahmadinejad; by delaying these launches for a few years Rohani will claim the credit.
3.our foreign ministry needs more budget (for its luxurious hotels in Europe) than space and military sectors in Iran.
4.disrespecting students and scientists is more fun than disappointing uncle sam and...
پذیرش بازجویی از دانشمندان کشور با عنوان «ملاقات‌های فنی-کارشناسی» و بازرسی از پارچین/ اثبات وجود دو توافق محرمانه

Then why Ahmadinejad canned the satellite and launcher was he also afraid of uncle Sam ?

whats the use of sending those sat with safir so they can fall to earth in one week ?

and why it's god for Jalili to waste or money in Swiss for several year (Do you want me
to post some Jalili and Ashton Joke) or what about Ahmadinejad go to foreign country with
delegation of several hundred which included the family of some of the people who went with
him and get no result but wen it come to zarif it's bad because he got some result ?

and don't talk about disrespecting students as there are many things that I prefer not to talk about.
about scientist ,well we had a processor what happened to it ?

there is nothing out there in space stop wasting your money, if there was anything then ALLAH and Prophet Muhammad would have said something, even if there are planet where humans could probaly live they cannot go thier in time as nuclear wars would have alerady finished 3/4 of the world

the exact seme mentality that kept muslim countries back at 16 and 17 centuries by stopping them from exploring seas .

by the way If god didn't want us to explore the space would not have created it in first place.

Bro, please don't make laugh. UAE in space race? These jokers will pay some foreigners to build a rover for them and have another nation launch it. The only true space nations are ones who have launch capability.

SUPERCO is another joke as well.

 

[scythian500]

well, even though you are right to some extent, however i think India has still been able to achieve quite a lot (though granted maybe they could have done more). After all, despite having relatively small rockets with payloads of less than 1.5 tons, yet they managed to send a satellite to orbit Mars(though granted NASA did help them a lot by providing deep space tracking/control etc), something even Japan and China who has have had far far larger rockets payload for a long time now still hasn't achieved(though its also because the Chinese leadership are every risk averse/conservative). So at east there is something India did that countries. So hopefully India next rockets will have far bigger payload capacity like Japan/China/E.U(though by then these countries would have built/launch far bigger rockets as well). So there's always room for progress, but we should never back down, especially after having achieved good results. Failure is not trying/starting at all

Having ambitious goals FORCE us to at least achieve half of it if not all... that half is %100 for now...

Iran is working on GHAEM SLV that will carry tons into lower LEO and a ton to 1000 km as it seems... I guess Iranians know they need a heavy vehicle along side this... and this sending human to space is not sending human to moon... it is a simple lower LEO human launch and safely landing him back on solid ground...

WTF is superco ?

omg

A kiddish joke.

to help your memory, Qaem was completed during Rohani presidency.1393

whats the use of sending those sat with safir so they can fall to earth in one week ?

These are just experimental sattelites designed for LEO, no matter when we launch them, their orbit is defined when they were being built.

and why it's god for Jalili to waste or money in Swiss for several year (Do you want me
to post some Jalili and Ashton Joke) or what about Ahmadinejad go to foreign country with
delegation of several hundred which included the family of some of the people who went with
him and get no result but wen it come to zarif it's bad because he got some result ?

I was referring to downgrading of defense ministry budget and upgrading the foreign ministry and the presidency office, those hotels was just a sarcasm yet:
Jalili is the guy who chose the Almaty Kazakhstan as the place for negotiations (guess why) and used ordinary passenger flight to reach there.
and about families, you mean like this one:

and the result, yeah I remember The very same result of the very same person, 2 years of nuclear suspension in return of more sanctions in reality and absolutely nothing more. but wait, this time Rohani has brought more results, 10 years nuclear suspension plus suspending of missile launches, indeed this is not something which Jalili could present to us, though maybe Bani Sar could!

and about Ahmadinejad's no result, maybe if you look at the amount of foreign investments during 8 years of his presidency and compare it with this new minus and zero records of Rohani, then you could find a clue about the real results:
انتشار ابعاد جدیدی از سرمایه‌گذاری خارجی در دولت تدبیر؛ سهم صنعت و کشاورزی "صفر"! + اینفوگرافی

and don't talk about disrespecting students as there are many things that I prefer not to talk about.
about scientist ,well we had a processor what happened to it ?

I was talking about fucked up science growth rate surprisingly in the Rohani era:
افت علمی تکان‌دهنده کشور پس از ۸ سال رشد +جدول
accepting the interrogation of nuclear scientists to let Zionist terror teams know them better, insulting 3000 scholarships for the sake of propaganda. Thanks to Rohani now we can use our nuclear scientists as plumbers!
