Ok. These are user trial phase completion.

I hope they start inducting in the US-30 squadrons immediately.

CY2 Orbiter is in 91 km orbit from Moon surface if you scroll up and see AmberG posts.

Unless it was a false flag operation, we should study the cruise missile and drone attack on Saudi Arabian refinery/oil well to see what lessons can be derived for us. May be, a time bound a new thread to compile the information and analysis? Please start a thread on unconventional attacks on India...

India already has Kashmir. Matter of time when its formalized.

If you read press reports by eg. Chengappa, that's the plan as the CY2 Orbiter has long life of 7 years.
But before that need to find the root cause and ensure its corrected.

On Trump's possible trip to India - I am surprised that Modi administration is having Trump come over in November this year to sign the trade deal and is not angling to have Trump come over in January instead to be he chief guest for the republic day parade as well .

A question: Do we know the spacing of the 500N engines on the lander? I am assuming they are mounted in a square configuration. Also whats the rotational moment of inertia of the lander along its principal axes? I want to calculate how much the engine has to over perform in order to tumble the lander?

Twitter account of OFB Board praises a OFB officer for developing the explosive train of their new Electronic Point Detonating Fuze.
Will post here.

Yes. It says third test. Most likely they are proofing the production batch and confirming they match the development test vehicles.

Three for a batch is pretty good.
Does anyone recall the start date of Astra production run in Kerala?
It was inaugurated by Jaitley.

Not as high as the PM.

RANT It may be bad reporting, but if the reporter has captured the tone of the IAF officer correctly, then it is quite unfortunate. What did the HTT-40 team do wrong? That they dreamt to come up with world class turbo-trainer with limited experience? Or that they expected preferential treatment fro...

Chindu was reporting that Pak has begun firing along LOC about 30 minutes ago.

Also S^3 and UB, I think the four engines for braking could have caused the tumble due to thruster over/under performance.
Such behavior will cause in one of the off-center engines will cause a moment and tumble the lander.
Then the oscillations to correct the attitude.

ramana

S^3, Yellow marks actual landing spot?
They reported lander was 500m away from intended landing spot.

ramana

Yes. And fired and lost the lock. Some of the AAMAbduls fell way beyond LOC and were displayed in the news conference.

ramana

All such long ranges are for head on engagement.
The chase engagement range is much less. Nearly a quarter to a third.
The Banshee target is used world wide to qualify AAMs.

Prasad, It helps if you say what on your mind and not make cryptic remarks.

I think we need to stop criticizing ADA without understanding the factors not in their control. The big goal was NLCA Mk1 arrested landing on shore demonstrated consistently. Already 2 such landings have been shown. Navy has said they are supporting the LCA program and making payments regularly. Res...

Can you post the specs here for completeness?

There is much more to Chandrayaan 2 than just the Vikram lander. It has dual band SAR, a very high res camera and other scientific payloads. My request is to keep the thread open. It will be very slow for information to come out and better to roll this thread into other ISRO discussions. At least t...

Jay s, Why did ARDE come up with 80 mm rocket? Needs a whole new eco-system. Did force ask for it?

ramana

There was no deliberate miss. If you read the Denel description the SOW needs guidance from the launching plane and if that breaks off it goes awry.
Abhinandan scramble made the guidance plane break off.

BTW the H-2/H-4/RAAD is updated Nazi Hs 293 and nothing more.

If the cable snaps, you also lose an expensive aircraft and an irreplaceable pilot; so I am sure there are procedures in place to ensure that cables don't snap. First of all its wire rope. The factor of safety for a wire rope handling humans is 6. The wire rope is examined for damage, broken wires ...
