I am in town first 3 weeks of Oct. If the schedule works out, I would love to join-in.

Don't know if this has been posted here before.

A very informative interview with Madhavan Nair (thermal-runaway issues and the star sensor failure) on the workarounds devised by ISRO to compensate for them.

Here's a beautiful snap of the LCA from SA's blog.

Shankar,
Wonderful scenario build saar. Just a nitpick - wouldn't a westerly wind carry the smoke towards Indian formations?
(My bad if I have missed the battle layout & directions are reversed).

In the closed version of this thread, someone had mentioned US media roprting - specifically NPR. The local PBS station had Deepak Gupta (Political Sc. UCSD, SDSU) talking about the Mumbai attacks. I just missed gettign a question in but here is a brief of what he had to say: * direct links between ...

... I know this is from Wikipedia, but at least the rest of the write-up is accurate (mostly).

On 29 November, Azam Amir Kasav named his colleagues as Abu Ali, Fahad, Omar, Shoaib, Umer, Abu Akasha, Ismail Khan, Abdul Rahman (Bara), and Abdul Rahman.

The source given was this.

Seems like a fire brigade has been called in to cover up the front entrance of the Taj. Good, DDM cannot now report whats going in.

Why is it that the camera, in spite of being capable of working in the entire visible spectrum, will be giving its stereo image output in B&W? I think it probably is possible to have coloured stereo output, or is it that color is not of any importance for terrain mapping? The HySI captures 80m ...

I have a question for the experts here regarding the tracking accuracy of the IDSN antenna farm. This report lists a tracking speed of 0.01 millidegree/second. I gather this is based on the requirement to track Chandrayaan in moon orbit during its visible track. Is there a physical limitation to the...

Thanks Abhishek.
The capture part is key, we do need the infrastructure to capture carbon for seqeustration. But it's a start nonetheless.

ISRO will be broadcasting the launch via a webacst on 22nd Oct 2008 0550 - 0650 Hrs(IST).
Use this for local time conversion.

Isn't 100m a realy really shallow depth? Is this why gas replacement (carbon sequestration) recovery is being contemplated? I have my fingers crossed against dumping EU CO2 in these wells.
