perhaps you may have more info than me i was hoping these experts in isro would in that case go all out for the gslv mk3 version and if possible reduce the time line towards achieving success in that ! as you rightly said , we are losing missions by not being able to participate ion that...

has been my position all along much of the work in the mars project is being done by the forces of nature we didnt land a rover as chinas on the moon - we used a pslv which was a dicey affair we just piggy-backed on nature , while claiming the credit for ourselves the main focus is on the...

ive liked your post you have brought up at least one v important point which ive hardly heard elsewhere that the poor can have something to aspire to - prime example - our past very popular president Abdul kalam - who started life as a very poor news paper delivery lad - and look what his...

next important date is dec 1 ...blast off from earth's gravity field onto mars dec 15 - GSLV D5 - as far as i am concerned this one is far far far more important than the mangalayaan protect in terms of long term strategic development btw anyone knows is there is a camera on the...

sorry if i have been over-critical - i guess that was a mistake just wanted to keep the over-hype which we indians sometimes do , in proper context and, like i said , IF we are doing it at 25% of the median cost of all the others combined (not 25% of china's - which would be near impossible )...

oh ? really ? we're the 4th only because of depending ( as usual ) on foreign help ? not sure whaty is meant by the second quote but while this may be an "achievement " for isro - IT CERTAINLY IS NOT AN "INDIGENOUS" PROJECT not when isro was worried stiff that usa govt shutdown may have...
