India's Man Mission to Moon.. IAF to select Men for mission.

.
I agree ...but we do not have even any official proposal yet ...

I believe ISRO is working on several subsystems simultaneously ..and preparing groundwork ...

Just like MOM it has capability to undertake such mission on short notice of few years if all the ingredients for the mission are in place ...


The January 5 launch is the most important mission in last 1 decade ....

It has far reaching importance to Indian space programme than even MOM or Chandrayaan mission...

I don't think GOI will release any further funds for the full mission until GSLV is succesful. And it's wise I guess. But they got enough to continue working till then.

Did we just miss this?

ISRO gearing up for space capsule recovery experiment

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is preparing to carry out a space capsule recovery experiment in 2014 to test some of the critical technologies for manned space missions in future.

Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) Director S. Ramakrishnan said here on Friday that the operation would involve the launch of a spacecraft that would later re-enter the earth’s atmosphere. The capsule would be recovered from the sea off Andamans.

Fielding questions after delivering the foundation day lecture of the Kerala Academy of Sciences (KAS) here on Friday, Dr. Ramakrishnan said the operation was scheduled to take place before April 14. Efforts were on simultaneously to develop a crew vehicle and space suit for astronauts.

He said it would take 10 years for India to undertake human space flight. “Manned space missions would require more powerful launch vehicles like the GSLV Mark 3 currently under development.”

Dr. Ramakrishnan said the mission readiness review of the indigenous cryogenic engine was scheduled for December 28. The GSLV 2 powered by this engine was expected to be launched on January 5.

Dr. Ramakrishnan said the feedback from the Mars Orbiter Mission would help ISRO plan bigger space missions.

Earlier, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy conferred the honorary fellowship of the Kerala Academy of Sciences on three eminent scientists, namely ISRO chairman K. Radhakrishnan, executive vice-president of Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment V.N. Rajasekharan Pillai, and outstanding scientist of CSIR-NIIST A. Ajayaghosh. M. Vijayan, IISc, Bangalore, was conferred the honorary fellowship in absentia. Mr. Chandy also conferred fellowships on 27 scientists.

Addressing the gathering, Mr. Chandy said the country was watching ISRO’s Mars Orbiter Mission with great enthusiasm.

He exhorted the scientific community to imbibe the spirit of enquiry and direct their research towards newer ways of making life simpler.

In his reply speech, Dr. Radhakrishnan said the Mars Orbiter Mission had enthused the younger generation. He said ISRO had come out successful in precisely directing the spacecraft towards mars through complex manoeuvring.

Dr. Rajasekharan Pillai, in his address, stressed the need for Kerala to build up a critical mass of scientists in different areas to achieve great things in science.

Dr. Ajayaghosh said science education and research had achieved momentum in India. He said students today had ample opportunities to take up science for study and research.

I really doubt that ...We have to have minimum 3 back to back successful launches of GSLV ....

which itself will take 3-4 years ...

and then for India to attempt the manned mission to space ...the subsystems such as Life support systems , space suits etc besides space capsule etc needs to be ready ...

Given our Indian Stretchable Time ...10 years is a quite realistic time frame ....


within 2-3 years is too optimistic ...I highly doubt that ...

From what i know we do have a Vyamanaut training centre established 3-4 years back , i believe the life support systems and subsystems were allready tested in the capsule recovery and the recent mars/moon mission
 
.
why are we doing this? What is the benefit of doing it, can anybody tell me.

Environmentalists are appalled at this news - provided it is not another BS from India. Their concern is that these guys might sh-t in the open all over the moon!!!!
