Re: Elections Modi 3.0
People are mistakenly making false assumptions on voting %. If you take 2021 election numbers and remove SIR identified fake votes from the denominator, the WB % will go up from 82% to 92% exactly as reported. It may also mean that these fake votes didn’t cast any votes in 2021 contrary to what was ...

Now I see why BJP partnered with TDP in AP. At the end this alliance is what probably saves NDA. That is unbelievable. The low turn out in UP and Rajasthan crushed BJP. Don’t know what the Hindu voters didn’t like. They simply didn’t go for voting.

Re: Chandrayan-2 Mission
Since it is off by 500m, it certainly has horizontal velocity when it hit the moon surface. So is it possible that it landed on its 4 legs but the momentum pushed it towards its side?

Re: Chandrayan-2 Mission
100 m/ sec 2.1km to go.. fast braking period.. nothing heard. That is pretty fast to land w/ balloons(if) and cushions. I thought 59.8 m/sec. But it is very fast. Even if it is free fall from there the terminal velocity at impact would be like sqrt ( 2100*2*1.62 + 59.8**2) = 102m/sec or 360km/hr. O...

Re: Chandrayan-2 Mission
Had we fired those thrust engines few more seconds and reduced the speed even more in the rough braking zone, would that have saved the lander? So many questions of ‘what if’ go by mind. Now, I’m very devastated. Hope there are some better news tomorrow or an explanation that is more comforting.

Re: Chandrayan-2 Mission
How soon can Orbiter take detailed picture of this area? If the lander crashed at speeds > 200m/sec, it must have raked huge dust cloud up and most of the lander probably buried under dust. The most heart breaking thing in this is that our manned mission to Moon will not happen in next 10 years.

Re: Chandrayan-2 Mission
Even assuming that the last communication was at 300m (based on the last point on graph), the concern we have is that the rate of descent from 2.1km to 300m was too fast for the craft to survive. As per ISRO's plan from 500m altitude the decent has to be 1m/sec. Leaving aside the path between 2.1km...

Re: Chandrayan-2 Mission
1 m/s descent speed from 500m is way too low: waste of rocket fuel. It was going to touch down at somewhere under 10m/s or so IIRC. Remember gravity is only 1/6g so impact is not that great.

If it was inverted or horizontal, and its engines burning, that will cause deviation from the flight path laterally, which possibly seems to have happened.
