USA & NASA Afraid of India & ISRO as the later rewrites “Space Economics”

[commander jain]

Recently Federal Administration Aviation endorsed an advisory committees recommendation to ban american launch companies to use PSLV. The fear of ISRO marching ahead in competition is from the fact that ISRO is actually changing the global “Space Economics”!

It was rightly said by Michael Griffin, former Nasa Administrator “I would submit that the highest possible form of national security, well above having better guns and bombs than everyone else, well above ‘speaking softly and carrying a big stick, as President Roosevelt suggested, is the security which comes from being a nation which does the kinds of things that make other countries want to join with us to do them. If this is not ‘strategic’, then what is?”. With India’s success of Mangalyan at a cost which is fraction of NASA’s similar mission, the world has started accepting ISRO’s leadership and have started associating with it. India recognises same & have taken this space politics to the next level with Prime Minister N.Modi declaring a gift from India to SAARC states in the form of a SAARC Satelite. However, Pakistan unfortunately moved out of same & the “gift” is now known as “South Asian Satelite”. India has also proposed a BRICS satellite which China has taken seriously & is supporting same.

In 2014, the global space economy grew slightly more than 9 percent, reaching a total of $330 billion worldwide, up from 2013’s $302.5 billion. Together, commercial space activities made up 76 percent of the global space economy. The industry as a whole demonstrated a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of seven percent from 2005 to 2014, nearly doubling in size over the course of the decade.

The number of people employed in the civilian U.S. space workforce continued to decline in 2013, the latest full year for which data is available, with an estimated loss of nearly 6,000 employees. From 2006 to 2013, the U.S. space workforce declined about 14 percent, losing nearly 40,000 space specialists. Preliminary data for 2014 does not indicate the decline has reversed yet.
Wages for those remaining in the U.S. space industry remain high. The average annual salary was $108,000 for a U.S. civilian space employee in 2013. Employees working in the guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing sector averaged the highest salary of nearly $120,000. The average age of an employee working in the aerospace and defense industry continues to climb, reaching slightly over 46 years of age. India enjoys benefits in the sense that employees with ISRO and ISRO’s budget along
with Antrix corporation’s revenue are on Increase. Indian civilian space employee earns a READ MORE ABOUT IT AT :> http://www.indiandaily.in/usa-nasa-afraid-india-isro-later-rewrites-space-economics/

I don't get this . unless ISRO is capable of launching NASA and U.S military payloads they have nothing to fear.

U.S space industry is booming

I think NASA is the most developed and experienced organisation/institution in world for space exploration and research and development. India is still a poor nation and struggling to develop into a developing country of south asia. It could be a rumour but they might have dream lah.

Sorry, but Indian Space Research Organization (Isro) scientists think it's just an acknowledgement long due. The US, which imposed sanctions on India, will take India's help to launch one of its satellites soon.

Isro has a track record of launching satellites for 19 countries including space-faring nations, but this is the first time the US would be using an Indian vehicle, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, to put one of its satellite in orbit.

"US will be the 20th country to sign up for a commercial launch by India," said Isro chairman A S Kiran Kumar, on the sidelines of the 5th convocation of AMET University. "It's the cost-effective technology we have."

India has so far launched 45 satellites for 19 nations. Kiran Kumar said another 28 foreign satellites will be launched in the next two years. "The need of the hour is to increase our capacity," he said.




ISRO, at present, is gearing up for the launch of GSLV-Mark-II, probably around August 27. "The 2.1-tonne capacity GSLV-Mark-II will be carrying a communication satellite," he said. "By March 2016, we will launch seven satellites."

Isro, meanwhile, has put to long-duration test its indigenously developed cryogenic engine for GSLV-Mark-III, which can carry satellites weighing up to four tonnes. "We will launch it by December 2016," Kumar said. India's big missions including the proposed manned mission rests on the shoulders of GSLV-MIII.




Having successfully launched a Mars mission, India is planning a mission to Venus. Isro is also on the lookout for a launch pad outside Sriharikota, in Kulasekharapattinam in southern Tamil Nadu.

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will be launching nine nano/ micro satellites for United States during 2015-16 time frame.

This will be the first time that ISRO will launch US satellite.

"As on date, Antrix Corporation Ltd, the commercial arm of ISRO, has signed agreement to launch about nine nano/micro (US) satellites during 2015-2016 time frame," ISRO Director Public Relations Deviprasad Karnik told PTI.

Restrict US companies from entering into Indian Solar power sector , simple.

you are launching nano/micro satellites. like I said unless you are able to launch NASA or U.S military satellites we don't care.

even SpaceX isn't bothering with nano/micro satellite launch market.

if anything you are stepping on China's toes not the U.S

I don't see why we're making a big deal out of this. we have no one interestin launching this class of payload.

This poor struggling nation just recently helped a developed singapore to launch its satellites, lah.

Ridiculous article, there is more than enough space for everyone to go around.

India has it's own niche market but I don't think they are threatening NASA.

NASA has been there and done that decades ago.

@Viper0011.
What do you think about this article?

 

[Solomon2]

India has it's own niche market but I don't think they are threatening NASA -

NASA isn't really in the launch business anymore.

In previous decades, when space launch systems were brand-new, NASA developed launchers by awarding cost-plus contracts to commercial companies; the economics and risks were unclear so NASA assumed responsibility for performance - and owned the finished product.

Nowadays, launchers and even their technology development are considered mature enough for private industry to handle the risk itself. NASA contracts out for launches - with subsidies in some cases - and the companies own the intellectual property and vehicles themselves. NASA-owned facilities are still being used for most launches, but private ones are in development as well.

At current rates, Space-X offers GTO for less per-kg than ISRO does. Only the Russian Proton-M is cheaper. But if Space-X can re-use its first stages regularly it can cut prices further.

 

[anon45]

Read more about this and my hypothesis was totally wrong!

It is correct that this ban is due to price concerns, because Indian launchers are government owned, and so they have incentive to 'dump' their rockets to crush the competition without worrying about profit.

http://spacenews.com/u-s-space-transport-companies-lobby-to-maintain-ban-on-use-of-indian-rockets/

That said, India does the same thing, literally the same thing, of banning non Indian launchers from getting Indian satellite contracts, so calling the US out is pretty hypocritical.

It's cheaper to use PSLV than any other rocket, actually PSLV is much cheaper, I think in 0-1500 kg satellites to GTO, PSLV is much better than any other rocket. SO in this segment it easily threatens NASA economics & now ISRO also planning to privatise PSLV operations then we may see a big market for PSLV.

Tit for tat.
Restrict US companies from entering into Indian Solar power sector , simple.

That will affect our economy, also pollution before global warming.

Narcissism is the hallmark of emerging economies; so don't sweat !

If you're paying a pittance to your labor then naturally you're going to rewrite economics whether in space or on the ground....

Homi Baba and other top Indian scientists were assasinated by these snow nikkers

He was Homi Jehangir Bhabha or Dr. Bhabha not Homi Baba correct yourself, he was first to give lecture against Nehru in support of Nuclear weapons but was assassinated, also Vikram Sarabhai.
