Missions Planned by ISRO
The missions planned by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in the next one year include - 3 Polar Satellite Launch Vehicles, 1 Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle, 2 Communication Satellites, 1 Earth Observation (Ocean) Satellite, 1 Meteorological Satellite...
Acoustic suppression test (acoustic suppression will be used during launch of gsLVM3): massive acoustic shock waves and rocket exhaust can bounce off the launch platform and hit the LVM3, to prevent this ISRO will be using flood of water, very similar concept is used in the launches of Ariane 5...
He means to say that Over the years, one of the main reasons behind the slow progress of Tejastest program has been HALs slow rate of production of LCA LSPs. Test program is totally dependent on the number of planes available for flights. HAL has been very slow in churning out LSPs and busy in...
Most of Tejas' problems stem from poor production rate, not from an inadequate design
Ask any of the 20-odd Indian Air Force (IAF) test pilots who have flown the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) and they will all swear that it is a great fighter to fly. It handles beautifully, screams along...
If Jf17 has passed all the tests, although not much information is available about that, then it is good for PAF. For IAF, once Tejas completes all the required tests, it will be given FOC and squadrons will be raised.
Because one must qualify the platform with all kind of tests like flutter, spin recovery, wepaons, AOA, etc, before FOC induction. This may not be the induction philosophy of PAF that inducts first and then performs tests.
Yup, its Indian human crew module prototype. Program is very much on and the current phase is technology development phase, where necessary technologies are being developed and tested. Isro has successfully developed reverse flow multiple nozzles solid rocket motor and performed its static...
Yes as far as payload is concerned. MK3 has only 2 stages and 2 boosters when compared with LM3b that has 3 stages and 4 boosters. So, you can guess which is far advanced and efficient design.
