BRILLIANT. Watched it live on TV. To me the highlight of this mission as at 39.5 in the following video. The a few seconds before the confirmation of the CUS ignition in the commentary, a man in white shirt and glasses peers into his screen, just after L110 separation and starts smiling and then wh...

^^Just as I guessed- LPSC Hq at Valiamala, Tvpm, has not been renamed. "Formerly, IPRC was known as LPSC, Mahendragiri and taking cognizance of the future growth of the space program of our nation and the concomitant expansion at Mahendragiri, it was elevated as IPRC with effect from February 0...

Noob question- Post ignition, once the missile lifts-off from the vertical scaffold/frame, what tech ensures that it does not hit against the scaffold from inside until its entire 24-feet length is ejected. Is there some kind of controlled contact maintained like a groove or something (say like a ri...

^Mangalyaan is just a 'nickname'? Source?

Last time I checked, there are so many problems 'everywhere'; So better keep quiet

- Nice explanation when pointing out the anomaly in naming a prestigious project which will be known down to future generations.

Slightly OT I have noticed that all press releases and communication done by ISRO through MSM and SM (FB and Twitter) address the mission with the acronym MOM (Mars Orbiter Mission) though there is already an original Samskrit name, Mangalyaan. Strangely enough, the space agency has NOT used the ter...

Is anyone (DD, ISRO website) covering this live?

Interesting to note that ISRO chose MOI with MangalyAn in the blind i.e., from T +5 to T+ 30.43 minutes, there is NO telemetry. Newbie question- is there any option of recording the data by the spacecraft during the blind period and transmitting it back once the telemetry resumes? (ISRO can surely ...

CNN interviews the former founder of Malaysian Airlines who is credited with knowing the captain for~ 30 years and gives him a clean chit.
