Where is pakistan???.I strongly protest this video will move to UN

 

[praneetbajpaie]

where is England for that matter, they are already paying for our rockets, apparently.

(1) First of all, Pakistani space agency, formed by an organization called SUPARCO, is yet to design it's own sounding rocket, let alone complex stuff like design a satellite , or launch it, for which it it would require a proven test vehicle, like we have PSLV.

(2) England, apparently designs telecomm satellites and build them (but in co-operation with other European countries, a privilege we never had). It gave up it's ambition of it's national launch vehicle way back in the 1960's.


Black Arrow- British satellite launch vehicle

Black Arrow, officially capitalised BLACK ARROW,[3] was a British satellite carrier rocket. Developed during the 1960s, it was used for four launches between 1969 and 1971. Its final flight was the first successful orbital launch to be conducted by the United Kingdom, and placed the Prospero satellite into low Earth orbit.[2]

Black Arrow originated from studies by the Royal Aircraft Establishment for carrier rockets based on the Black Knight rocket,[4] with the project being authorised in 1964. It was initially developed by Saunders-Roe, and later Westland Aircraft as the result of a merger.

Black Arrow was a three-stage rocket, fuelled by RP-1 paraffin and high test peroxide, a concentrated form of hydrogen peroxide.[5] It was retired after only four launches in favour of using American Scout rockets, which the Ministry of Defence calculated to be cheaper than maintaining the Black Arrow programme.

The Minister of State for Trade and Industry, Frederick Corfield, announced the cancellation of the Black Arrow project in the House of Commons on 29 July 1971. As the R3 rocket had already been shipped to the launch site, the second stage having arrived three days earlier, permission was given for it to be launched.[2]

The programme was cancelled on economic grounds, as the Ministry of Defence decided that it would be cheaper to use the American Scout rocket, which had a similar payload capacity, for future launches.[6] Prior to the cancellation of Black Arrow, NASA had offered to launch British payloads for free; however, this offer was withdrawn following the decision to cancel Black Arrow.[2]

The final Black Arrow to be completed was R4, which did not fly, and is preserved in the Science Museum, London, along with the flight spare for the Prospero satellite.[23] A replica of the Black Arrow rocket stands in the Rocket Park at Woomera. In addition, the remains of the first stage of Black Arrow R3 were recovered from the Anna Creek cattle station and are displayed in the William Creek Memorial Park.
he launch facilities at Woomera were demolished within a year of the final flight,[4] and half of the engineers who had worked on the programme were laid off.[18] The X-4 satellite, which had been manifested for launch by Black Arrow R4, was eventually launched on 9 March 1974, by an American Scout D-1 rocket flying from Space Launch Complex 5 at the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.[25]

As of 2011, the United Kingdom is the only country to have successfully developed and then abandoned a satellite launch capability.[26] All other countries that have developed such a capability have either retained it through their own space programme or, in the case of France, through its involvement in the Ariane programme.[24]

 

[farhan_9909]

budget does count also
suparco budget is way too small

but one should not forgot that suparco launched a sounding rocket in early 60's and ISRO was yet to be formed

but now isro is decades ahead

can pls load any video iam dying to see GAZI rocket

 

[farhan_9909]

suparco budget is just 75 millions

still they doing good

Past is past bud, India was an economic superpower in the 17th century with 24% of world GDP.

You are damn right about the ISRO being decades ahead.

 

[just4nikhilesh]

i also creat rocket with only 100 rs (take some diwali rocket powder and use at my own rocket ) so please add my company name also like pakistani this is top list not all list please try to under stand and comment like ......

 

[SATISH]

Where the 'F' is the CNES?

 

[Yusuf]

Putting the european space agency behind India totally discredits this. Fanboys stuff with no logic or reason given.

India is yet to have a successful heavy launcher and depends on ESA for it.

 

[Yusuf]

Those flaming here can take this as an open warning.

well waiting for GSLV to prove its mettle with bated breath. BTW, ESA is a consortium of 19 nations, so not that difficult to master cutting edge technology for them.

It's about entities and not nations.

It says Space agency for some European countries... otherwise French Space agency should be ahead ...

I stand corrected as European space agency is French only..

 

[Bhadra]

can pls load any video iam dying to see GAZI rocket

Gazi or Paazi ..??

 

[Blackwater]

Gazi or Paazi ..??

 

[Akim]

And is it possible to know what parameters were rating? (As China was ahead of Europe, with its old technology).

Ranking based on achievements, capabilities and future plans of space agency. ppl who want more information about agencies mentioned in the video can check "List of space agencies" at Wikipedia. plz read the list b4 disagree with the ranking.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_space_agencies

The capabilities of the space agencies are color-coded as follows:
Manned Lunar Exploration + Operates Space Station + Manned Space Flight + Operates Extraterrestrial Probes + Launch Capability + Operates Satellites
Operates Space Station + Manned Space Flight + Operates Extraterrestrial Probes + Launch Capability + Operates Satellites
Manned Space Flight + Operates Extraterrestrial Probes + Launch Capability + Operates Satellites
Operates Extraterrestrial Probes + Launch Capability + Operates Satellites
