Re: Indian Space Programme Discussion
Let us also not forget the total budget for this experiment is 95 crores. It is really a shoe string budget compared to other programs.

Re: Indian Space Programme Discussion
Also who would wantto have what is essentially a flying projectile tested over populated land all the more for the first time. ISRO does a dog leg maneuver to avoid Sri Lanka. There may be fuel for thrust vectoring etc and you dont want to have the first test crashing on land.

Re: Indian Space Programme Discussion
Well, Soyuz is functional but what about the accuracy.... I think you brought it up as an example of lack of landing accuracy.

Re: Indian Space Programme Discussion
There are sensors to track heat damage etc. I did not say that tracking is the reason to drop it 500 Kms away. I said it makes no difference whether it is within the Littoral zone or further away.

Re: Indian Space Programme Discussion
You have to realize that while the landing zone may be few Kms long the actual area under observation will be much larger in any experimental flight.Even with the Apollo and Soyuz capsule touch downs the area monitored were huge. In fact in many splat downs of Soyuz the actual landing area was somet...
