OFFTOPIC RANT


Our resident geniuses have spoken about today's launch. :biggrin2:

This is a good time to remember the visionary move of India's first PM Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru to fund space research through INCOSPAR in 1962 which later became ISRO. And also Dr. Manmohan Singh for sanctioning the #Chandrayan2 project in 2008.

END OF OFFTOPIC RANT

Yeah.... In the same manner of license building which is the only way they know.

 

[ssg_slayer]

Let's ignore two people here

Foreign media , and Indian politicians.

Still a long way to go, let's be humble till the landing of the probe. Mission has only began, not yet completed.

You are alive today because Nehru planted the trees that give you Oxygen and filled the rivers with drinking water which he personally ferried from molten icebergs from the north pole.

What else, the same old “how can India justify spending on space program while it had so much poverty?” This was on BBC world channel...

British Bhen C#@$ A.K.A BBC are filthy mongrels, can not even win the world cup with one extra run but used the same old criminal trait of cheating and then quietly admitting their mistake. These mutants only deserve abuses, not debate or civility.

There are many Indian HRZs who go their a moan about helping and cooperating with these snakes.

I can predict that chutiya is from r/india. Those cucks will giveaway their daughters, mothers mothers and sisters to the barbarian Paki ******s just for 'Aman Ki Asha' type bullcrap.

His name is jamahir, an Indian muslim. Keeps on ranting about his "South Asian" space agency where he wants Arabs to fly in space along with ISRO. Seriously, every country except India is incompetent in space from middle east to near east and Indian Subcontinent.

Maybe his Allah will send him a donkey to fly around in!

Ridiculous!

GSLV MkIII-M1 Successfully Launches Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft

India’s Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle GSLV MkIII-M1, successfully launched the 3840 kg Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft into an earth orbit today (July 22, 2019). The spacecraft is now revolving round the earth with a perigee (nearest point to Earth) of 169.7 km and an apogee (farthest point to Earth) of 45,475 km. Today’s flight marks the first operational flight of the GSLV Mk III.

After a smooth countdown lasting 20 hours, GSLV MkIII-M1 vehicle majestically lifted off from the Second Launch Pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR (SDSC SHAR), Sriharikota at the scheduled launch time of 1443Hrs (2:43 pm) Indian Standard Time (IST) with the ignition of its two S200 solid strap-on motors. All the subsequent flight events occurred as scheduled.

About 16 minutes 14 seconds after lift-off, the vehicle injected Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft into an elliptical earth orbit. Immediately after spacecraft separation from the vehicle, the solar array of the spacecraft automatically got deployed and ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC), Bengaluru successfully took control of the spacecraft.

ISRO Chairman Dr K Sivan congratulated the launch vehicle and satellite teams involved in this challenging mission. “Today is a historical day for Space Science and Technology in India. I am extremely happy to announce that GSLV MkIII-M1 successfully injected Chandrayaan-2 into an orbit of 6000 Km more than the intended orbit and is better.”

“Today is the beginning of the historical journey of India towards Moon and to land at a place near south pole to carry out scientific experiments to explore the unexplored. On July 15, 2019 ISRO intelligently observed a technical snag, Team ISRO worked out, fixed and corrected the snag within 24 hours. For the next one and a half day, the required tests were conducted to ensure that corrections made were proper and in right direction. Today ISRO bounced back with flying colours.” Dr. Sivan said.

In the coming days, a series of orbit manoeuvres will be carried out using Chandrayaan-2’s onboard propulsion system. This will raise the spacecraft orbit in steps and then place it in the Lunar Transfer Trajectory to enable the spacecraft to travel to the vicinity of the Moon.

GSLV Mk III is a three-stage launch vehicle developed by ISRO. The vehicle has two solid strap-ons, a core liquid booster and a cryogenic upper stage. The vehicle is designed to carry 4 ton class of satellites into Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) or about 10 tons to Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

Chandrayaan-2 is India's second mission to the moon. It comprises a fully indigenous Orbiter, Lander (Vikram) and Rover (Pragyan). The Rover Pragyan is housed inside Vikram lander.

The mission objective of Chandrayaan-2 is to develop and demonstrate the key technologies for end-to-end lunar mission capability, including soft-landing and roving on the lunar surface. On the science front, this mission aims to further expand our knowledge about the Moon through a detailed study of its topography, mineralogy, surface chemical composition, thermo-physical characteristics and atmosphere leading to a better understanding of the origin and evolution of the Moon.

After leaving earth orbit and on entering Moon's sphere of influence, the on-board propulsion system of Chandrayaan-2 will be fired to slow down the spacecraft. This will enable it to be captured into a preliminary orbit around the Moon. Later, through a set of manoeuvres, the orbit of Chandrayaan-2 around the moon will be circularised at 100 km height from the lunar surface.

Subsequently, the lander will separate from the Orbiter and enters into a 100 km X 30 km orbit around the Moon. Then, it will perform a series of complex braking maneuvers to soft land in the South polar region of the Moon on September 7, 2019.

Following this, the Rover will roll out from the lander and carries out experiments on the lunar surface for a period of 1 lunar day, which is equal to 14 Earth days. The mission life of the lander is also 1 lunar day.The Orbiter will continue its mission for a duration of one year.

The orbiter had a lift-off weight of about 2,369 kg, while the lander and rover weighed 1,477 kg and 26 kg respectively. The rover can travel up to 500 m (half a kilometre) and relies on electric power generated by its solar panel for functioning.

Chandrayaan-2 has several science payloads to facilitate a more detailed understanding of the origin and evolution of the Moon. The Orbiter carries eight payloads, the lander carries three, and the rover carries two. Besides, a passive experiment is included on the lander.The Orbiter payloads will conduct remote-sensing observations from a 100 km orbit while the Lander and Rover payloads will perform in-situ measurements near the landing site.

The ground facilities constitute the third vital element of Chandrayaan-2 mission. They perform the important task of receiving the health information as well as the scientific data from the spacecraft. They also transmit the radio commands to the spacecraft. The Ground Segment of Chandrayaan-2 consists of Indian Deep Space Network, Spacecraft Control Centre and Indian Space Science Data Centre.

Today’s successful launch of Chandrayaan-2 is a significant milestone in this challenging mission. A total number of 7500 visitors witnessed the launch live from the Viewer’s Gallery at Sriharikota.

1960s :: Young ISRO Scientist Abdul Kalam Assembling Test Rocket in Thumba



sir,your hard work doesn't go in vain,today we just a sent an rover to the moon...

thank you for showing us,we can do this against all odds,
Looking back when,Every bharat nagrik has been hopeless and worned out by poverty,wars,sanctions,natural disasters,videsi ridicules...

You said,Bharat will become superpower by 2020.

many of us didn't believe you,some of us even heckled you for saying...
But,Today in 2019,sooner than 2020, you proved them non-believers wrong...

I Hope,you are witnessing our victories and bless our future endeavors from above...

When we had nothing,you gave us hope...

For that,we will be thankful forever...

Congratulations to my fellow countrymen and women,to the pioneers and especially to the chandrayan team on the successful launch.

Jai Hind!


Hindustan forever!

Post some comment from BBC.....
I wanna see some briturd arse on fire.....

 

[Indx TechStyle]

I was just looking over parameters achieved.
I got to know that perfaarmance wasn't naarmal!!

It was awesome and extraordinary. The orbit achieved was around 6,000 kms higher than intended earlier. Orbiter's fuel will be saved and mission life will increase.

British forum is silent about that all around surprisingly over this for a while. They are busy mocking Kaveri engine and Tejas these days.
