Boeing offers Isro tech help for 2016 manned space trip​

BANGALORE: The Indian Space Research Organisation has an offer too tempting to resist: Boeing has said it is ready to collaborate and offer technological know-how to Isro for its human space flight programme, scheduled tentatively for 2016.

This will include construction of a crew vehicle to the International Space Station (ISS), journey to the station and re-entry into earth's atmosphere, which is the most crucial aspect of the programme.

Dr Vivek Lall, vice-president and India country head, Boeing Defense, Space and Security told TOI: "Boeing has initiated discussions with Isro to offer our support to India's human space flight programme. With our legacy in space exploration design, development and integration, we believe we can provide value-added assistance to India's national programme."

Lall added: "We plan to submit a formal request to the US Department of State to enable us to proceed down this path should our services be accepted."

The senior Boeing official pointed out that Nasa had offered a Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) contract to Boeing with Bigelow Aerospace as a key team mate to initiate the design and development architecture of commercial transport to and from ISS.

"This programme opens the door for collaboration between Boeing and Isro in areas of commercial crew transportation."

Boeing has offered collaboration in four specific areas, one of them in which Isro has already begun work.

this is a decision the GOI can comfortably take .....our long standing commitments to the separation of civilian and military space programs .....has protected the ISRO for decades from much dreaded sanctions.....such collaboration can take our space program several paces higher.......

That's some change of tone . What happened to the tech denial regimes?

 

[Desi Sher]

Now thats a Welcoming Move...... If Only GOI Accepts It....

 

[gowthamraj]

Now that's the heavy news

May be it would be better if we continue with our snail pace rather than go for sudden offers. In the long run we can alway be assured that no tech denials can hurt us.

totally support this coz it will only hurt us if we do not develop on our own
we should learn from china
& stay away from backstabber usa

 

[trident2010]

I also think we should take Russia's help in space rather than US. Russians are master of space technology their help is more than enough for us.

True, I just don't get it, this 126 MRCA is making world bidders go bonkers.
What will happen if India decides to scrap the deal??
All the effort down the drain or these guys gonna rip us apart??
