Soon, India to have its own space shuttle

[relativiti]

Well as far as I know the thing is still 15-20 yrs away when the first demonstrator is developed. The good thing is we are working on it as its a complete new venture for us.

guys do you know ISRO has already finalised what the indians going to space will be called "VYOMANAUT" from word "vyom" which in sanskrit means sky.
a typical situation : year 2035 , place moon american astronaut, russian cosmonaut, chinese yǔhángyuán and indian vyomanaut drinking tea together on moon. Sounds cool!!

your tejas is still in trial stages
after 30 years of work on tejas
what will happened to this project

One is a civilian project which is most likely to be made by CSIR and ISRO.... Tejas is a Military project made by ADA and DRDO... Both are different, If ISRO can build Rockets with range more than 36K km and why DRDO is unable to make a rocket with range 5000+? Hope it answers you.

What the heck has Tejas to do with Space shuttle? Listen you google a bit about Tejas. It is joining us the coming year. We got late on Tejas because your ex-master promised us many technologies and sanctioned us last minute that we had to later develop from scratch as we didn't have a backup and trusted them. It was this bloody reason that caused it to delay otherwise today it would have been 5 years already into service.

As for ISRO, it is the fastest and the most successful Indian government agency in the country. ISRO is counted amongst the best space-faring agencies on the planet. And it was not granted the title; ISRO has earned it.

The whole idea behind India's Chandrayaan project was to stake claim in Moon if in future it gets colonized. can anybody confirm?

On a personal note, I feel that ISRO should handle the Surya ICBM project. Not only it has the capabilities but also the potential to add Suryas faster to our military than DRDO. Developing the Surya series should be a cakewalk for ISRO considering that we just had a mission to the moon.

ladies please control your horses before its late .



BTW nice look and move from india my best wishes for success to shuttle and India

I am happy for the part that It coming directly from the mouth of ISRO chairman and is not a cooked up story. Secondly for all those who think India is incapable to build a Space re-entry vehicle here you go, India has already tested it 2007

During its stay in orbit for the last 12 days, the two experiments on board SRE-1 were successfully conducted under micro gravity conditions. One of the experiments was related to study of metal melting and crystallisation under micro gravity conditions. This experiment, jointly designed by the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Thiruvananthapuram, was performed in an Isothermal Heating Furnace. The second experiment, designed by National Metallurgical Laboratory, Jamshedpur, was intended to study the synthesis of nano-crystals under micro gravity conditions. This experiment can help in designing better biomaterials having closest proximity with natural biological products. The experimental results will be analysed in due course by the principal scientific investigators of the two experiments.

The successful launch, in-orbit operation of the on board experiments and reentry and recovery of SRE-1 has demonstrated India's capability in important technologies like aero-thermo structures, deceleration and flotation systems, navigation, guidance and control. SRE-1 is an important beginning for providing a low cost platform for micro-gravity experiments in space science and technology and return specimen from space.

It would be a break through for ISRO and its mission to space launch a human in the SRE and Later to moon in AVATAR. Now since the ISRO has a TD ready for AVATAR which is likely to be tested soon, India would be chosen for the New ISS which India partners in.

Ok Guys
Let us discuss something about Technologies being Developed for These Missions

The most interesting or probably the mst significant aspect of this aircraft is "Avatar uses a unique design that enables the spaceplane to produces its own fuel in flight and has been patented in India"

Avatar is that it does not carry any liquid oxygen at take off. Instead, the entire 21 tonnes of liquid oxygen required for the rocket flight will be produced during an initial hour long cruise through the atmosphere - where at eight times the speed of sound, Avatar will suck in air before separating the oxygen and liquifying it for storage.

Thanks for the Info Bro but
Can you provide link for this if you don't mind

Oh I almost forgot... here you go brother..

India Claims To Be Developing Own Spaceplane

Wing tunnel model.

the complete launcher

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

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?

It's not about India, Russia and US...its about ISRO, Roscosmos and NASA.
We are getting ready to play with the big boys. Remember...It was Chandrayaan which discovered that there was water on Moon’s surface even before NASA or Russian Federal Space Agency!! So we have the capacity and talent. So why to step back because of funds!? Who knows...our space shuttle can generate us decent amounts of money!!
