Add additional payload while takeoff for cushions!? Parachute is the worst way of recovery. It is susceptible strong winds.... It has to happen on land only else floatation devices weight should also be added. Give that takeoff happens close to sea or oceans, additional fuel to guide the...

Bang on the target.... I'd like to add one more point. The need for Saturn 5 had not come yet I seriously doubt if the need will ever rise.

This brings me back to few words I had with one of ISRO's director (probably 1 yr ago). Can anyone identify him, unfortunately I forgot his name. He came to visit temple and do pooja Fortunately, I had chance to talk to him for couple of min. My conversation was mostly regarding Ion engines...

Sorry, I still didn't got your joke. Pls explain in layman terms....

Does D2 stands for design 2!?..........

Yes, Sachin'' inspiration was 1987 world cup as ball boy. He was a good player by that time though Imagine a 10yr old kid watching the liftoff and wants to become a scientist!!!

If the tickets are for sale. I'd buy one for the adorable boy's launch. Hearing 2 golden words directly from launch site would be awesome.

Spacex has order to resupply ISS, Isro does not. Spacex and Isro are both different organizations with different purposes. Comparing them is foolishness. In Isro, satellites are designed and built as well. Isro has its own achievements, so does Spacex. Let's not get into stupid and useless...

What!!! You joking right!?, why in the world ISRO will do such tests in Ukraine. What do we get from that!? Ukraine is a den of NATO and Russian agents. Given the power struggle going over there, I doubt India has good relationship with Ukraine. Coming to infra, soviet infra must be in very...

Long overdue....... After atomic clock failure in one of our navigational satellites(IRNNS 1A,if I am not wrong)

Two things A bomb dropped on Japan is Fat man, not fat boy. Some of our scientists called it as Baahubali... I am eagerly waiting for Baahubali 2 (i.e., LVM 3 with Semi Cryo) it is only a matter of time and we'll see it soon. PS. I am waiting for BBC video. I wanna see that guy's funny...

How soon can we get Semi Cryo into picture.. any idea. ps. I vaguely remember that GSLV MK3 is LVM with Semi Cryo is it true (or any modifications to add up). Gurus, please shed some light Thanks

Well, I am an IT professional who is lazy enough even to go through the forum at times.....and got this doubt. I am sure right people at right places have definitely got this doubt for sure and made their threat perseption and might have prepared for it....And no secure communications are done...

Can we use this SAARC Satellite to spy our neighbours...

@TPFscopes Do you have anything to contribute.... Otherwise just send him a personal message... Just don't spoil this thread

@Superdefender Did we launch all the Catrosat series sats or any left. Do we have any backup Catrosats similar to IRNSS sats or not Thanks in advance

I think these are not the accurate figures, because cost of Satellite launch is always measured wrt to mass of the satellite.

When it comes to space missions, a small manufacturing defect might result in disaster. Now if you're re-using the LV for multiple missions, chances of errors increase drastically. Any idea what would be the re usability of LV, I mean no of missions before it becomes useless.... Coming to...

Auto Spell check is available on almost all the blog's, forums. Pakistani never use their brains, atleast they should use spell check. P.S. Post the same in musings thread P.P.S. I am sick of all these spell mistakes, I want see atleast one Paki post without any mistakes.

IMHO We have a Rohini 560 sounding rocket, minor tweak and that's it. We'll have something to send less payload sats to leo and can be used to future wars too. Why tweaking Agni... Or is it that Rohini is just not good enough to send sats... I mean guidance or something since it is just a...
