Re: Importance of Indo-Romanian ties
I think a first step towards better ties would be to stop discrimination against people of Indian origin in Romania (Romanis).

Is this in our interest ? Aren't we setting precedent, which gives credence to certain nations/peoples support for Kashmiri Separatist's demands ? The two-state solution is in itself accepted by both parties (Israel and Palestine) as the only way forward in the conflict. In such a situation what is...

Re: Indian Space Program Discussion
KrishG, One would not say SC is inefficient at higher altitudes: it still performs better. For example CUS has 452s Isp vs 443 for C-20. Just that the gains in changing from GG to SC are less for upper stages. Let me requote what I said: The point I am trying to make is that SC engines are ineffici...

KrishG, Thanks for the response but it has only confused me further. Neither the MK2 nor the MK3 have earth ignited cryogenic stages. Both require high thrust upper stages - the very rationale for the cryogenic stages in the respective launchers. So how does that explain why SC was chosen in one an...

Re: Indian Space Program Discussion
The GSLV-MK2's cryogenic engine uses a staged combustion cycle, while that for the GSLV-MK3 uses a gas generator cycle. Does anybody know the rationale behind these two decisions? It seems counterintuitive at first glance that ISRO adopted the route of first developing a more complicated engine, an...

Was the new larger diameter payload fairing flown with Russian cryo? That would answer the question. If it was then its a non issue and could be a mfg issue.
