    :scared2::scared2:घोटाला in ISRO:scared2::scared2: Edit: As per The Telegraph The GSAT11 was sent to French Guiana for launch and brought back. A section of the space establishment is suggesting there is more to the postponement than Isro's caution

    2030!!!!!???? Care to provide the timeline of events that would push it to such a later date? Or are you just speculating on the fly here while thinking "us Indians always face delays, never on time"? It can happen before 2025 if GSLV Mk-III with HTVE is able to launch the orbital vehicle. It...

    Read what I wrote again carefully. GSLV Mk-III can not take our 12+ tons orbital vehicle (Gaganyaan) to space until it is upgraded with the new SCE-200 engine in 2021. SCE-200 is the 200kN Semi-cryogenic engine that is currently in testing phase. And the first human spaceflight is not going to...

    Sadly, this is all just election hyperbole. GSLV Mk-III cannot lob our 12+ ton Orbital Vehicle into space, at least not until the planned upgrade in 2021. Also, current 5 year plan ends 2021. So IMHO, any real funding will come only in 2022. And that is when GSLV Mk-III will be upgraded with...

    ISRO General News and Updates

    What is an "air-breaking engine"? I will assume that it is a typo and that Dr. Somnath said "air-breathing engine". Now an air-breathing engine can not perform a de-orbit burn. If Dr. Somnath had pointed out that he was planning to use a rocket engine for orbital maneuver, then REX would have...

    If it was orbital, how would RLV TD deorbit? As far as I know, REX is going to take RLV TD to an altitude slightly greater than 100 km (above Karman line), but at speeds lower than orbital speeds. RLV TD will never achieve orbit cause it does not have engines for orbital control. After the RLV...

    You are right. Energy management for landing on a runway will be much more difficult for the REX than in LEX because in LEX we drop from a helicopter, and in REX we drop from space. Here is an interesting and detailed video that highlights the difference between LEX and REX:- Now I assume REX...

    ^That would be REX Following were the experiments to be carried out during the RLV TD program:- HEX (Hypersonic EXperiment) Done 2016 LEX (Landing EXperiment) To be done 2018 REX (Return EXperiment) SPEX (Scramjet Propulsion EXperiment) I don't think it should take much time to conduct REX...

    2 Good news and 1 Bad news Good news 1: HTVE (High Thrust Vikas Engine) set to make its debut. Ground testing completed this Sunday. Good news 2: SCE-200 engine ready for testing, funding for SC-200 stage (that will replace L110 stage of GSLV Mk-III) already released. Bad news: Can't say when...

    Wait. I just figured out that the needle on top of the HLV-HSP rocket is the Low altitude Crew Escape System that was tested today. So I cannot understand these news articles stating that the launched payload weighed 12.6 tonnes. That needle weighs 8.9 tonnes? That is the crew module being...

    Wait. The Crew module weighs 12.6 tonnes? But the payload to LEO capability of GSLV Mk-III is just 10 tonnes. Now ISRO plans to replace the L110 stage in the GSLV Mk-III with the SC-200 stage by 2021. That should raise the payload capacity to LEO beyond 12.6 tonnes. So does that mean the Human...

    I'll just leave this here:- :drool: Source: http://www.b14643.de/Spacerockets_1/India/LVM3/Versions/LVM3.htm Check out source for configuration of each rocket. As far as I can tell, the SHLV with boosters (rocket first from right) will have LEO capability of 150 tons. So it is the Indian...

    I am more interested to know how many launches SSLV will see per year? If its 3 days to assemble, we can offer an endless launch capacity provided we have enough customers. Indian universities whould start sending satellites and doing some science. And we need more space-startups in the country.

    So C27 is clustered upper cryo stage..........but a cluster of 3 or 5 CE20s? Also, what configuration is a moon rocket (Saturn V class) going to look like?

    Then what does this tweet mean:- Also, we can test it without having to send the satellite. That is what the Chinese did in 2010. They performed a quantum teleportation over a distance of 16 kilometers. Read this here: China’s Secure Communications Quantum Leap

    ISRO General News and Updates

    This is pretty interesting stuff. Correct me if I am wrong but what my interpretation of this news is that ISRO has achieved a demonstration of this capability. So what I now understand is that we have achieved quantum teleportation like what China achieved in 2010, according to this article...

    Is it based on same technology (that exploits quantum mechanics for communication or maybe cryptography also) on which blue-laser submarine communication is based? I ask because this announcement comes close on the heels of an announcement about some DRDO lab achieving a breakthrough in...
