Do we have thermonuclear warheads?

Then why dint they use Long March for there mars mission?

Priorities man!

They have been launching many lunar missions, and are soon to have sample return mission as well.

Not only this, they have reached the L2, and even conducted a flyby of an asteroid.

Every country has their preferences, with China more interested in traditional step wise progress.

Anyway, the fact that people are still asking this question is proof that India has no proven Thermonuclear capability.

China has tested HGV and J-20 for years, but nobody believes they are actually inducted today. Now imagine we had never tested HGV even once, how can we expect anyone to believe we have it?

Same as India's supposed ASAT capability. Never been successfully tested, yet we are supposed to believe they have it.

I might as well claim we have wormhole technology for space travel, it's never been tested either, just like India's supposed ASAT and Thermonuclear capabilities. You just have to trust we have it, even though it has never been tested once.

Same as how Israel has never tested the bomb,yet the whole world knows that Israel is a nuclear state.

LOL at India. Caught red-handed in a lie! They are good at putting Indian flag on American, Russian and Israeli technology.

US govt shutdown may force Isro to delay Mars mission

BANGALORE: While the US government shutdown has inconvenienced millions of Americans, it's also worrying Isro scientists working on India's ambitious space programme to Mars.

The Rs 450 crore Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), scheduled for lift-off at 4.15pm on October 28, could be without Nasa's communication and navigation support. US space agency Nasa has asked 97% of its 18,000-strong workforce to go on unpaid leave. This has left many of its stations worldwide unmanned. The Isro mission is banking on such stations to track the spacecraft.

If the programme misses the October 28-November 19 launch window, India may have to ground the mission for at least two years.

Nasa had agreed to provide reimbursable communication and navigation support to Indian Space Research Organisation for MOM during the launch and post-launch phases when the spacecraft is out of coverage area of its navigation system.

Nasa was to help in accurate determination/ reconfirmation of orbit and position of spacecraft. "Nasa is currently closed due to a lapse in government funding. I am in furlough status; therefore, I am unable to respond to your message at this time," was the auto-reply from Nasa spokesperson to TOI's queries on this matter. Last month, he had told TOI about Nasa support to MOM.

An Isro spokesperson said: "It is too early to comment about this." Nasa support will cost Isro about Rs 70 crore.

Sources in Isro explained that the launch window is crucial as Mars and Earth will not be in positions suitable for such a programme till the end of 2015 or beginning of 2016. Prof UR Rao, chairman of the national committee of experts which cleared the project, declined to comment, saying it's a "political" matter.

But he said: "The launch window is important. We're trying to launch the spacecraft in the beginning of the window. If not November 19, we have time till early December. But once that is lost, we'll have to wait for two years."

He said traditionally, Isro avoids launching from Sriharikota during October and November. "It is generally avoided as it is cyclone season. But given the fact that such an opportunity will not be available for years if missed, we scheduled the launch and are hoping that weather does not play spoilsport."

The spacecraft which left Bangalore on Wednesday, reached launch site Sriharikota on Thursday evening. With components of the launch vehicle PSLV C 25 already at the launch site, integration of the spacecraft will begin on October 10.

What are you talking about? India doesnt have former colonies or sway around the globe to put it's own antennas and communication facilities all over the planet, like the Europeans or America.

That's why it depends on their communication equipment that's outside ISROs coverage.

This was mentioned several times to trolls like you.

I know of China's "mission". And that's what I am saying. It was not a mission to Mars. It was just an orbiter. It was the russian part of the mission to take the orbiter to mars, and it failed. China hasn't launched a mission to mars yet.

Tell me, if Nepal gives its satellite to China to launch in orbit, and Chinese rocket fails, will you call it the failure of Nepal?

It is not about justifying whose failure it was - that's another thing - last time I checked Yinghuo-1 is actually counted as the first Chinese interplanetary mission to mars - had it been a success China would have been the first nation to reach Mars in the first attempt itself. And now, if they are successful in their second attempt then China won't be counted as the first nation to reach Mars in the first attempt itself.

If Nepal gives its satellite to China to launch in orbit, and Chinese rocket fails then it certainly does not mean that it wasn't Nepal's first satellite in the first instance - it never attained orbit is another story.

He's a bloody hypocrite and so are many of the members from his side - they love to point out the role of NASA's DSN in MOM's success but they won't recall the role of ESA's DSN in Chang’e-3 success and the Russian role in their first mission to Mars (only if it was successful though!)
