India's Moon Exploration Program

[Varoon2]

Mudi ji is going to foreign tour starting tomorrow, he might return only by 26th, isn't this the reason enough??

Can't he appear on Zoom or Skype, to congratulate the scientists

 

[shaktishivashakti]

I think it will be delayed to Aug 27th i.e Sunday....if they announced it like this, ....reason is Mudi ji is attending BRICS summit tomorrow.....so they are gonna delay it to Aug 27th

I hope that's a precaution taken by ISRO who want to take minimal risk and prepare the mind for a dealy if any last minute problem. Which would be very wise and reasonable. The world is really watching India and ISRO ;-) specifically the zooropeans ;-) they are pissed off I can tell you that reading the comments here !!!

If it's a demand from the PM, for the reason that he will be in SA, than it's petty and not respectuous of the ISRO scientific team.
Why not send President Murmu at ISRO. If PM really wants to be present at Isro, just delay his departure for the BRICS summit, not a big deal, no big announcement is expected from the summit.

What if a bigger problem appears later on 27th?

I cant believe that it will be postponed only to permit Modi to be present at the control room. A PM should not act like that. If I was him, I woul send the President and I'll be smiling broadly during the summit

No its only a precaution, nothing else. It will be great pride for PM to be in brics meeting and same time cy3 landed. Than PM can tell the world from international platform.

Wish 23rd would've been Monday
Monday is somvar
Soma means

Okay, this is what happened -

Postponing will be considered IF anything abnormal is detected two hours prior to landing but as of NOW everything is fine.

Yeah

So it's just a contingency

better to have a contingency if it goes tits up rather than to have none at all

Was trying to find the Richard step tweet, couldn't find it. It so great that even a normal person can track our CY-3, great for all space enthus!!

Scott Tilley was literally giving CY3 burn updates before ISRO.

You can do that too, all you need is equipment for receiving in the S-Band - so if you have around 4-10 lakhs(probably higher) lying around go for it(I really don't know the legality of it in India though, so check beforehand).

There is a very powerful and extremely knowledgeable Ham-Radio, Telemetry, Star-tracker community back there.

Amateurs Ham-Radio operators were able to track early Nasa and Soviet space missions from back of their homes during 1960s-70s.

As per schedule

Russians did hurry up in attempt for landing on moon. They identified the issue quite early and they could have waited more to work on the fix:

Hurry make them fail. How can such a mature space agency do that !

What can you expect from the post-soviet-split Russian program managers.

I have seen Nasa Mars Perseverance rover project team interview. They have taken full time in failure analysis and how to mitigate they even not in hurry for .1 % . They are ready until rover sanitize from all errors they will not launch. Such matureness required.

Russia loosing its edge in tech due to its own nature.

NASA has always taken all possible efforts to correct any issues encountered with their space probes, Landers and rovers!

They take days to investigate and then work on the solutions. JPL is probably the best in this aspect.

We are all tensed here & ISRO is posting videos with that horror music

This is what decades of inactivity does.All those soviet brains are either dead or have migrated to the west.
Russia is a mere shell of it's former soviet self.It neither has the industrial might nor the financial capabilities of the Soviet Union.

at almost 3 billion $ project cost and a decade of effort, they had no choice but to aim for minimum chance of failure.
