ISRO General News and Updates

[pmaitra]

I was talking with reference to defence projects where govt decisions matter a lot unlike in the case of ISRO.

This thread is about ISRO. Keep politics out. The credit goes to ISRO scientists and ISRO scientists alone.

So this means in case some one tries to destroy our satellities we can again substitute them with the new ones in very short period of time.

Some glimpses from 104 satellite launches.

1. New adoptor lay out was developped for 104 satellite.
2. Some 5500 sequences were studied for the scenario of 104 satellite launch.
3. Vehicle was rotated to avoid collision of satellite.
4. There were 3 payloads on nano satellites of India. One will study the difference in appearance of ground for the same object visible from different angle of sunlight.
5. In earlier launches, recorder was bought for Rs 35 lakh. One scientist said that it is yoo much so they developed a homemade recorder for few thousand.
6 Last cartosat was launched in June or July 16. It requires atleast 6 months to observe new technology to prove its reliability but Kiran kumar gave the deadline of Dec 16 and project director of Cartosat took a wise decision to agree with him rather than arguing with for extention of date.
7 In ISRO, IST means ISRO Standard time which is much faster than Indian standard time. All projects are given very compressed schedule to follow.
8. Foldable lense used in Indian nano satellites which made them very compact.
9. ISRO can launch upto 400 nano satellite in one mission said es ISRO director Madhavan Aiyer.
10 An unique strategy was devised for launch of 104 satellites after studying numerous alternatives.

Wait for my article "India all set to dominate commercial space business"

You guys can suggest a better title.

Is there any thread to discuss the quality of Chinese and our Satellite ??? want to know about how much our satellite inferior or superior to chinese one.

India - the space launch czar.
India set to rule commercial space biz.
India's new market :space.

Can anyone give comparisons of launch vehicles of ISRO and others,and where we lag behind them

There won't be any benifit for it, we lag behind in operational cryogenic engines and payload capacity which we will be filling this year.:biggrin2:

Typical paki media, which "jungi junoon" in launching satellites?

Pakistan began space programme 8 years before India, but ISRO is galaxies ahead now

i think chinese are little ahead in satellite tech..

we recently launched CARTOSAT 2 which ha apporx 65 cm resolution while chinese sat are better than us..
same with CHINESE GPS and our GPS..
i read lat year a new version of chinese sat uses quantum key(making it unhackable).
so they are little ahead of us..

but we are ahead if prices are considered. we lauch sat at the cheapest rate in the world,, India has dominated the small satellite launch market. sooner we will also dominate the heavier sats too.

ISRO-- a sleeping giant..

ISRO- alexander of space

we are lagging in heavier launch vehicle category by apprx 5 years(when compared to leading apce agencies).. the HLV will bridge the gap and it will be a derivative of GSLV MK3 whose launch date is currently shifting every month. it was to be launched in december last year..

present GSLV launch schedule is in march..(fingers crossed)

Chinese are well aware of our capabilities and are only downplaying it.

Chinese are also downplaying that their benefactor Bill Clinton as the Massa president was highly generous in signing wavers that allowed critical space related tech to be transferred to China between 1996-1999, despite the reservations of the intel and security agencies.

The cap on tech transfer was lifted after the first of the Long March rockets exploded in 1996.

This link has all the details

http://www.whiteoutpress.com/timeless/how-china-conquered-america746/

February 15, 1996. A Chinese Long March 3B carrying a $200 million Loral satellite explodes 22 seconds after lilftoff.

March 14, 1996. President Clinton shifts control over regulating the export of communications satellites from the State Dept. which was primarily concerned with national security aspects of such exports, to the Commerce Dept., which is concerned with the economic benefits.

May 10, 1996. The Loral-led review commission investigating the February rocket explosion completes and passes on to Chinese officials its report, which according to the April 13, 1998 New York Times, discusses “sensitive aspects of the rocket’s guidance and control systems, which is an area of weakness in China’s missile programs.” The New York Times says that a Pentagon report concludes that, as a result of this technology transfer, “United States national security has been harmed”.

May 23, 1996. President Clinton calls for renewal of MFN for China, saying that renewal would not be “a referendum on all China’s policies,” but “a vote for America’s interests.”

June 8, 1996. China conducts an underground nuclear test.

July 21, 1996. Johnny Chung, according to the New York Times, brings Liu Chao-ying to two DNC fundraisers, including a $25,000 per couple dinner. Liu Chao-ying is a Lieutenant Colonel in the People’s Liberation Army and an executive at China Aerospace, which owns the Great Wall Industry Corp. that makes Long March rockets. Her father is the top commander of Chinese military forces. The New York Times says that Chung has told the Justice Dept. that Liu gave him the better part of $100,000 he contributed to the DNC in the latter part of 1996, and that the source of the money was the PLA.

July 29, 1996. China declares a moratorium on nuclear testing after conducting another nuclear test.

August 8, 1996. According to AP, Clinton meets again with Long Beach officials to advocate turning over the naval base to COSCO.

September 24, 1996. At the UN, President Clinton joins with the foreign ministers of China, France, Russia and Great Britain in signing the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty forbidding all testing of nuclear weapons.

November 5, 1996. President Clinton wins reelection. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the single largest Democratic donor during the election cycle was Loral CEO Bernard Schwartz, who gave $632,000 in ‘soft money’ to the Democratic Party between 1995 and 1996. The State Dept. issues regulations shifting responsibility for satellite launching licenses to the Commerce Dept.

January 1997. The Panamanian government awards the contract to operate the Atlantic and Pacific ports of the Panama Canal to a Hong Kong company, Hutchison Whampoa. China takes control of Hong Kong six months later. The United States, which is set to relinquish control of the canal next year, does not protest.

March 25, 1997. While in Beijing for a meeting with Premier Li Peng and President Jiang Zemin, Vice President Gore attends signing ceremonies for Boeing’s $685 million sale of five jetliners to China’s state-owned Civil Aviation Administration as well as a $1.3 billion joint venture between General Motors and China’s state-owned Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp.

May 1997. According to the April 13, 1998 New York Times, a classified Pentagon report reveals that Hughes and Loral scientists “had turned over expertise that significantly improved the reliability of China’s nuclear missiles” following the February 1996 rocket explosion. Hughes and Loral deny the New York Times report when it is published in 1998.

May 19, 1997. President Clinton announces that he will authorize MFN renewal for China.

October 1997. Chinese President Jiang Zemin makes a state visit to the United States. During the trip, he stops at a Hughes site to discuss satellites.

January 15, 1998. After China promises that it will no longer aid Iran’s nuclear program, President Clinton certifies that China is a reliable partner for nuclear technology exchange.

February 19, 1998. Despite opposition from the Justice Dept, President Clinton signs a waiver approving the launch of a Loral satellite from a Chinese rocket and reportedly authorizing the transfer of the same type of technology that the Pentagon said had “harmed” US security and that the Justice Dept. was investigation Loral and Hughes for their illegally transferring in 1996.

The same Bill Clinton was acerbic and vitriolic after our nuke tests in 1998 and put us under heavy sanctions.
