Soon, India to have its own space shuttle

New Delhi: The Americans
recently retired their one of the
most successful space shuttles,
the Atlantis. Now, India is
working towards realising its
dream - to create a re-usable
satellite launch vehicle.
An engineering model of what
scientists at the Indian Space
Research Organisation (ISRO) call
the re-usable launch vehicle, is
currently housed at a secure and
secret facility in Kerala. Covered
with special heat resistant tiles,
soon it will roar skywards.
"We are dreaming about a fully
re-usable vehicle, there are
several elements we need to
understand as of now we have a
technology demonstrator," said
Dr K Radhakrishnan, Chairman,
ISRO.
The unmanned Indian space
shuttle will be initially launched
vertically like a rocket and in the
first few flights it will be dropped
back into the sea, but later it will
make a landing like any other
aircraft.
The Americans have retired the
space shuttle as it was just too
expensive to fly, the Russian
version called Buran was
abandoned almost 20 years ago,
but India - the new kid on the
space block - is forging ahead
with its plans to launch an Indian
shuttle in a few years.
ISRO feels this technology will
drastically reduce the cost of
launching satellites to space.
Indeed ISRO is dreaming big.

good, we will have even indian and pakistani astronauts as well , india will accomodate some pakistani astronauts from space lauch, together we will conquer space, but one thing they will have to insure us that shuttle will not fail:partay:(just teasing:D)

Why buy when we can develop much cheaper technology. US retired most of its shuttle due to high cost of running these.

fuel is always expensive, you cant make fuel cheaper

technology usually costs more than a ready made product

like you have to buy some mars cholocate, but you start making the plant which makes mars

INDIA posses the technology to launch satellites very cheaply !! and its proved INTERNATIONALLY !!

Why do we need a space shuttle? We have no plans to build our own space station nor do we need a space station. If the USSR and the USA with practically limitless resources at their disposal found the shuttle too rich for their taste, what gives us the impression that we can afford this?

the ability to do something ourselves is truely great,we can't buy it.

we need to send someone to space na,and eventually we will contribute to the international space station and ultimately we will make our station.
