Indian Space Capabilities

kurup i found the video in this very thread....page78

fast forward the video to 16min listen from here carefully......from 19:35 he will talk about some kinda asteroid mission.....I ALSO FOUND ORIGINAL VIDEO OF SMILING BUDDHA TEST:cheers: [OUR FIRST NUCLEAR TEST]:flame:
wanna know more guys?????:yay:

Will look into it.

Video of smiling budha , afaik , there are only pictures.

Whatever you know , if in open domain , please share.
 
kurup sir unlike those utube fan boys THIS TIME ITS 100% REAL:yahoo:and yes it is in open domain:azn: the cracks of the crater are perfect match......:agree:no missfart this time:disagree::no:....but i have not yet posted my first 30 posts so im unable to post links..:sick:as soon i complete my posts i will post a thread abt it..:agree:i want all members to visite the thread..:cheers:

Post some, nonsense, whatever, wanna watch that video!!!
 
Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV C22 flight delayed by a fortnight

IRNSS 1A, the first Indian Navigation Satellite, was scheduled for launch onboard PSLV C22 on June 12, 2013 at 01:01 hrs. from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. IRNSS 1A Satellite has gone through all electrical checks and is ready for propellant filling. The PSLV C22 vehicle was fully integrated and was undergoing electrical checks.

During the electrical checks of the launch vehicle, an anomaly was observed in one of the electro hydraulic control actuators in the second stage. It has been decided to replace this actuator.

The replacement of the control actuator needs two weeks of activity at the Launch Pad and the Vehicle Assembly Area. Accordingly, the launch of PSLV C22 / IRNSS 1A is delayed by a fortnight with respect to the original scheduled date of June 12, 2013.
 
Its not easy to check and recheck thousands and thousands of moving parts.But these guy can launch PSLV with their eyes closed. Waiting for the BIG DADDY, GSLV, to take off. ISRO pride of our nation!!!
 
ISRO puts off navigation satellite launch due to glitch

An electrical glitch in the rocket Saturday forced the Indian space agency to put off its first regional navigation satellite (IRNSS-1A) launch June 12 by two weeks.

“During the checks of the polar launch satellite vehicle (PSLV-C22), an anomaly was noticed in one of the electro-hydraulic control actuators in the second stage,” the state-run Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said in a statement here.

As the replacement of the actuator will need two weeks of activity at ISRO’s spaceport at Sriharikota off the Bay of Bengal, about 90 km from Chennai, the launch of the satellite has been delayed by a fortnight to June 26.

“Though the satellite has gone through all electrical checks after it was fully integrated with the rocket and ready for propellant filling, the timely detection of the glitch has made us revisit the critical component,” the statement added.

India's Space Programme - A Socially Responsible Endeavour
Maintaining a YouTube Channel with a special focus on Science & Technology, one often comes across comments posted by a too clever by half individual.

The common refrain of these smart alecks is that instead of "spending money on a Space programme", India must instead uplift the "trillions of poor, hungry Indians" [their words & figures (trillions)], indicating, perhaps, that the two are somehow mutually exclusive. These "concerned individuals" conveniently disregard the fact that the Indian Space Research Organisation [ISRO], has been earning the country millions in revenue, an upward trend with much greater earning potential, by building & launching satellites for International customers. In addition, the organisation's commercial arm, the Antrix Corporation Ltd, has for long been offering its other services & sharing satellite data on a commercial basis. Incidentally, all this earning has been made possible by investing in the development of the very technology that these individuals contend India must not spend resources developing.

The fact of the matter is that societal upliftment & development of the Indian society has been the primary motivating force for it to embark on this hi-tech path since the 1960s. This statement of Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, considered the 'Pioneer of India's Space Programme' beautifully encapsulates this objective,

"Technology is not an objective to be aimed at, but a tool to be used for the benefit of the common man".

India conducted what was one of the largest sociological experiments in the world in the 1970s, with the initiation of the Satellite Instructional Television Experiment [SITE]. Using the services of an American satellite, the ATS-6, it began broadcasting educational programmes to around 2500 villages in India, putting forth the first step in undertaking a mass education initiative, thus setting the trend of leveraging Space for rural upliftment. Today, with its own INSAT-series satellites in orbit, it is able to broadcast two 24-hour Educational T.V. channels - DD Gyan Darshan 1&2, providing quality teaching remotely to even the most far-flung reaches of the country, mitigating the effect of absence of physical presence of quality teachers in those areas.

Data from ISRO's IRS series of satellites, on the other hand, with their precise early disaster warnings & weather forecasting, has been invaluable in saving several thousands of lives in regions faced with the prospect of a natural calamity striking. Much-needed data, like crop yield estimation, soil health & characteristics monitoring, among others, that aid agricultural planning are also obtained from these satellites. These areas of application - disaster management & agricultural production are especially significant to Indian concerns.

The two presentations, below, elaborate on these aspects of India's Space programme & the benefit being reaped as a result, reinforcing the criticality of Space technology in the Indian scenario.

These are, but, a few areas of application that have benefitted from the use of Space technology. Thus, given the enormous advantages the country has been reaping as a result of its endeavours in this field, it is, therefore, quite unintelligent to argue against India's goal of pursuing development of Space-related capabilities.

Godspeed
