Launching a lander and Rover on Mars with success is the ultimate pinnacle of space exploration today. 2026 we should give a shot. China could only do so it in 2021.

The old guard at ISRO might excel in engineering background but project management has not been the Forte. Discounting for political interference if any, non release of timely funds from Govt, I can't understand where's the challenge? The graph is going down or is flat.

ISRO has this launch date announce and 100% missing the deadline syndrome from last 12 years I have been tracking them. I have no hopes now.

http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1164326.shtml Chinese comments on Chandrayaan 2 mission: For a first time mission, it was very complex and involved too much maneuvers. But this fake fact peddled by China to show Indian lack of technology was not surprising: Considering the Russian...

Why Is It So Damn Hard to Land on the Moon? Spacecraft descending toward the lunar surface face a number of challenges. There are high levels of radiation to contend with, and as a spacecraft begins its descent, solar reflections can saturate the instruments and backscattered communication...

The ideal global IDSN would be Fiji island in Pacific Ocean, Bangalore in Indian Ocean and East Coast of Brazil covering Atlantic Ocean. This is just my estimate without any scientific study. It should cover the entire globe with 35m Antennas.

Dunno but having hopes that it can be revived. Miracles still happen.

We can only communicate with IDSN when the spacecraft is directly facing this part of the earth. NASA is the only space agency which has 360• coverage.

Which satellite bus is it based on? I-1K or I-2K?

This completely melted my heart.

See in space landings, there are 2 basics: 1) Controlled descent and soft landing on Moon or another planet. This is one mission. The extended version is point 2. 2) Sample Return which is done by a small rocket over the top of the lander (which landed in point 1) where samples are loaded and...

We not only missed the landing but also getting to operate the rover and using on-board instruments for both of them. After their life of one lunar day, it was possible to extend the mission. Now if you propose another level mission like sample return mission, there is a gap in learning curve...

People should also note the Beagle 2 lander rover on Mars from ESA had a similar fate. Communication lost at the fag end but after 11 years they discovered solar panel was not properly deployed hence no communication but landing was perfect. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beagle_2 Looks like...
