To the moon and back/Mars Mission: China or India better?

To the moon and back, Giant leap for China's space program


It is China's first lunar module capable of returning to Earth and the mission's main technical challenge will be making sure the spacecraft slows down enough to re-enter Earth's atmosphere safely. The mission tests technology that will be used in a more ambitious launch, to take place in 2017, when an unmanned lunar probe will go to the moon, collect soil samples and return home.

India's Mar Mission


which one is more advanced or better?


thanks

China launched an experimental spacecraft early Friday that is to orbit the moon before returning to Earth.

China already got a Manned mission to Space on its sleeve so China is the best compared to India.

another pissing contest.... you guys ever get bored of it???

 

[The Great One]

Mars is much further away from Earth than Moon, so I say Mars Mission

 

[unbiasedopinion]

A dormant account suddenly woke up to have a stupid contest.

On topic, both...both the countries are trying their best as per their capabilities in different way for betterment of their societies.

 

[trident2010]

Both nations are progressing in space technology. That's better

Stop dick measuring contest.

Between India-China... ask bong or asad, they will say BD is better.

 

[Shinigami]

china's manned mission requires both expertise and capital while what india pulled off in mars requires mostly just expertise

but they also have to face skeptics

Obviously BD is better. We just didnt try yet

On Topic: Obviously China better because China is doing everything for a purpose. And India doing things only to show off.

Both are of different profiles you cannot compare them, just be happy that Asia is racing ahead in space.
As for CNSA vs ISRO.
Though India is progressing incredibly fast and was able to create sustainable systems for long distance travel in its first try, overall China is definitely ahead of India.
It already has a space station and is planning a lunar return mission, now that is something.

And India doing things only to show off.

Of course you would know that since BD neither has the capacity or the resources to show off.
Enjoy denial in the mean time.

What are the benefits of having such a space program for a developing country like India?

There are many aspects to this, but I believe they can be generally categorized in two ways. The first is along the lines that the more nations participating in the peaceful exploration of space the more we will accomplish through joint efforts.

The second is more relevant to India's ability to enhance its development for the benefit of its own people. Having a robust well-thought-out space program that combines scientific exploration with space utilization - including telecommunications, weather monitoring, navigation - is of huge benefit in that it serves to provide a 21st century infrastructure to stimulate economic growth, drive education in technical disciplines, and provide dedicated resources and services that will aid the improvement and security of the country.

What is the aim of India's Mars Orbiter Mission?

The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) is for the most part a technology demonstration mission. India is proving that it can successfully deliver a payload safely to orbit about Mars.


The coming years will see an increasing number of partnerships in terms of space exploration, Alexander believes

The technological capability being demonstrated and the knowledge gained from the operations of the mission will be invaluable in future developments and also in the training of the flight operations and mission control staff. All of this capability can be carried forward to future launches and operations.

On the scientific side, MOM is a relatively modest mission, providing some imaging and spectroscopic observations of the Martian surface and some dynamics and composition studies of the atmosphere. The observations I am most excited about are those studying the methane emissions.

The sustained presence of methane observed by previous missions suggests that an active production mechanism is at work, most likely tectonic in nature, although there are some suggestions that it may point to a biological origin. The MOM observations will help increase our knowledge of the methane plumes and possibly provide some clues as to their origin.

And pray tell what this purpose is exactly.

Lol CNN, i will be honest with you, this is propaganda divide and rule tactic you are using with this news. Afterall we the british were the ones who taught the U.S how its played. Asians still fall for it though. .
The U.S seems to have even overtaken us on this. Kudos .

Both are incomparable missions. However,China's space program is ahead of India's.

I don't think CNN has got anything to do with the OP apart from the fact that the OP decided to copy/paste the article on China's mission and forgot to remove CNN's name.
