SP21, FOC config:

Five tests in three days, three tests in combat config.

There's no comparison really. Pakistan will take many more decades to be capable enough to undertake an indigenous design. But we can compare Su30 MKI and JF17 production. Technologically, it's not a pretty picture for Pak there either. But business venture wise and even strategically to an...

Dude. Count the LRUs, not number of suppliers. HAL singlehandedly makes 100, in their five divisions. You should be arguing that the number of LRUs don't matter and it's the nature of the LRU that matters. And after that, somebody will post the famous Gripen blueprint to teach you there's much...

Why did you feel a need to crop it? To leave out HAL and PSUs that contribute the lion's share? 210 Indian LRUs and 138 overseas. Not only that, do you really think aircraft design and production is just bunching up LRUs? It's not even half the story. Well, what would people from your side know...

I am indeed a bit disappointed by the above statement from ISRO. Sure, they've made celestial orbital mechanics a routine job like PSLV launches with this mission, and sure, the precision is remarkable, but the statement is a bit escapist. Nobody but online trolls deny ISRO's excellence and...

September 7, 2019 Chandrayaan-2 mission was a highly complex mission, which represented a significant technological leap compared to the previous missions of ISRO, which brought together an Orbiter, Lander and Rover to explore the unexplored south pole of the Moon. Since the launch of...

Principal Scientific Adviser claims that the Oribter will have a life of seven years instead of one.

ISRO used NASA DSN only in blind spots. Otherwise it used Indian-DSN for moon missions and mars mission.

@waz @The Eagle @Horus Request to NOT change the title of the main thread (ISRO GSLV etc.) to this title, if mods are merging these. It has happened before. The mission (orbiter) is still on, and there are more data to be posted. Changing title will ruin it. Thanks.

Chandran literally means the Moon. Chandrayānam is Mooncraft (Sanskrit). In Hindustani, it becomes Chandrayaan. Vikram is named after Vikram Sarabhai himself.

I thought Best Korea led the way. I actually enjoy your posts except when it's not civil. Good day.

It's a 15 min operation. It can't be still in 'air' unless it decided to fly away. Best case scenario is communication trouble. But the graph shows worse, unless a glitch there too.

Most likely crashed unless some weird coincidence. Anyway, the Orbiter will carry on. The Lander's contribution will be experience and some data from closer orbits.

No signal being received as fine braking was in process.
