India all set to give go ahead for Mars mission

[Audio]

What about the UN body where every country has to register their launches and publicised anually? Anyway, the rocket launching business is highly competitive and any failure of your competitor will be used against them. It's the money that speaks the loudest.

This is great news for humanity, and for some, an indication of India's ascent to a leading position in the world.

For the one who have not even graduated elementary, he already thought he could take Ph.D. level courses.

Mysore: India is all set to give the go-ahead for an ambitious mission to Mars, expected in November next year, a top Space Department official said here today.

"A lot of studies have been done on the possible mission to Mars", Secretary in the Department of Space and Chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation K Radhakrishnan told reporters here.

"We have come to the last phase of approvals", he said. "And I am sure that, maybe soon, we will be hearing an announcement on the Mars mission".

According to ISRO officials, a significant amount of work on the planned Mars mission has been completed and scientific payloads have been short-listed.

The project report for Indian Mars orbiter mission has been submitted for government approval.

The mission envisages launching an orbiter around Mars using Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-XL). The orbiter will be placed in an orbit of 500 x 80,000 km around MARS and will have a provision to carry nearly 25 kg of scientific payloads on-board.

The tentative scientific objective for the Mars mission will be to focus on life, climate, geology, origin, evolution and sustainability of life on the planet, according to ISRO.

Scientific payloads have been short-listed by ISRO's Advisory Committee for Space Sciences (ADCOS) review committee.

Baseline, solar array and reflector configuration of the satellite have been finalised, the Bangalore-headquartered space agency said.

Launches up to 1990 and after 2010. Also click some other (space industry) nations in the menu on the left, notice how many more entries there are? Even Deutschland has more.
In general i agree with you, the business is highly competitive and word of mouth probably goes far considering it's a very small community of people.

May be we can accept each others capabilities too often which may lead to good discussions and less trolling. Good words mate...appreciate it.

We indians should also do this....
