why waste time on champoos… many of these negative comments are coming from congoons who simply dont care about facts

Not possible

Why? Budget constraint ? We could have back to back launches..

Not budget

Lander needs landing area DEMs, so the orbiter & lander should orbit Mars before landing...but if we use separate launchers, the orbiter & lander should be launched separately, in that case the lander will directly enter Mars atmosphere before orbiting Mars Just like how Curiosity, Perseverance,Spirit, Opportunity, Phoenix,Insight directly entered Mars atmosphere without orbiting,hence separate launchers is not possible

Rover not moving too far from lander. May be due to crators and sunlight, ISRO not taking chance.

Hypersonic cruise missles too have to face plasma cloud due to which communication blackout happens
Less in moon means easier to communicate and less interference

Looks like rover surrounded by craters, and rover need to change path many times. Good experience for ISRO for upcoming planetary missions.

There is another $400 billion in state and local budgets. The total budget is around $1 trillion at all levels including PSU and RBI dividends. But the issue is the central government is not able to set aside certain amount of rupees for strategic tech research & development like the Cheenis have done. Even the new NRF budget requires 60% contribution from the private sector which as we know is not happening.

I think cheenis were able to do that way only after certain amount of manufacturing and production picked up in sectors that are tied around high tech beyond textiles and so on.....its hard to fund pure research with no application goals as output.....my guess is as it hits 5T and more hightech manufacturing takes root, the R&D will increase from both state and private. Cheenis are based off of USSR model with their academy of sciences which has its merits. This is why HSR and few other areas is very important but goi must force high quality work vs what the IT bastards did with their BPO and coolie level work compared to actual indepth products like OS, Network security and so on...

wonder how the time lag is factored in along with algorithm lag in doing the movements and testing it although simulations can make it simple enough....very thorough work though but there is a possibility that autonomous systems are present in the rover for threat avoidance

Yeah, light takes about a second and then some to go from the Moon to the Earth or vice-versa, one way. This is probably not that big enough of a time difference to cause issues while piloting the rover.

Purpose of ILSA?

Isn't there somewhat of a clue in the full form of ILSA

Earthquake??

 

[omaebakabaka]

Earthquake??

anywhere from vibrations in top layers to natural events happening at deeper layers and fault lines and so on....gives an idea about material compositions and minerals and associated things by comparing with known things.
