India May Be Heading To Mars

[laman12345]

The Hindustan Times is reporting that the Indian government is expected to approve a proposal for the country to send its first ever probe to Mars. India’s Space Commission gave its approval for the project last December, and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is reportedly on board as well.

Assuming all government approvals are obtained for the launch, India would be set to begin its mission in November of 2013, with an expected arrival time in September of 2014. The probe would be launched by India’s own Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The probe isn’t intended to land on Mars – it would be an orbital probe, much like the Chandrayaan-1. That probe was the first that India sent to orbit the Moon, and also had the distinction of being the first probe to confirm the existence of water on the Moon’s surface.

But even an orbiting probe presents a difficult challenge. Missions to Mars have large failure rate – out of 38 attempts, only 19 have succeeded. If India is successful, however, it would be the third country to conduct a successful Mars mission. The Soviet Union had the first success, followed by the United States.

A successful mission, however, would be a huge leap forward for India’s space program, which to date has seen a lot of great success in satellite launches. One of the goals for India’s launch here is to ensure that the country has a loud voice when it comes to future international discussions about Mars.

Because somewhere deep inside indians and our thinkers and planners, we have superpower ambitions. We know that we have to compete with west. So we will take such missions. Soon after mars the venus, Aditya sun mission, indian gps and gagan navigation system, astrosat, chandrayaan 2 will be in place by 2015-2016. All of them are approved, in advanced stages and waiting for launch. Then will come the big one manned mission. Selection of astronauts has already begun..

A strong india is good for pakistan

I have already posted about technological advances which will be made to achieve this program which is must for us.

Secondly, lets make an example for you to understand manned mission to mars, it takes couple of years to take to Mars, so for that we need constant supply of food for the astronauts. So we have to develop food sources for these people to meet their nutrients requirement in space. Now development in this field will find its way in combating malnourishment in our children. If we commercially make it economical, just imagine the impact of such technology on tackling hunger and malnourishment.

If you don't have anything good to share, leave it. By the way did you smell Bollywood script and rather say, smell of the newspaper when in the morning you read about Indian successful moon mission.
