PSLV C22 blasts off with IRNSS-1A

[Jayanta]

yes its range covers entire persian gulf,2/3 of china and up to malacca strait.

Hey whats with this MAP. Is that a map of India??

What's the total cost of this project?

What's the total cost of this project?

Around 280 million USD for all satellites, launches and systems etc

???????????

Got no clue, look at the J&K why is it in two colors??

Got no clue, look at the J&K why is it in two colors??

Because as you should now, J&K does not cover the entire region of the former Kingdom of Kashmir!

The darker green represents J&K (the parts which are held by India), the other green tones represent the parts of Kashmir which are held by Pakistan and China and which are claimed by India.

i have a question.what is the debri that falls of the rocket when it launches?

I believe it is ice that builds up when the liquid fuel is pumped into the rockets.

ISRO's annual budget is only $960 millions for 2013-2014.

This is very sad as the organization deserves to make use of far bigger funds than this...

Does it also include their commercial revenue from satellite launche?

I wont throw a party yet...
The satellite is still on its way to intended orbit...
Isnt it a geo stationary? That means its actual orbit is at 35,000 Km..
But rockets launch it at a much lower orbit..
Then using earth's gravity and onboard rocket motors its manoevered into geostationary orbit..
This operation taked some days and the satellite will consume half of the liquid fuel in its fuel tanks..
The process does involve some riskd...

Mission will be accomplished when ISRO declared the satellite ....settled in geostationary orbit and only then it will start working...

Right now India has some other, more pressing, priorities. As India's economy grows so will ISRO's budgetary allocation.

Congratulations ISRO. You have made us proud. PSLV is now tried and tested.
Please repeat the same performance with GSLV next month.

99.9% of the effort goes into putting the satellite into the precise Geo-Transfer Orbit (GTO). ISRO has never had problems in past in taking the satellites from GTO to Geo-synchronous orbits.
