83 MW (111,305 hp) as per Wikipedia so must be 83 MWe ie ouput if I am right

India is planning to keep a telescope on the moon http://www.indialivetoday.com/isro-put-telescope-moon/46444.html Chennai,Oct15:The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is looking at the possibility of putting a telescope on moon in order to enhance its scientific observation capacity. Chairma...

Please start a Made in India dot-can be a small blue Ashoka Chakra that can help consumers choose Indian products Like green dot for veg

prasannasimha

There should be a Made in India logo like an ashoka chakra just like the green and brown veg nonveg dot. This should be allowed only for indian prodcts with stringent punishment of violated.If that is done it becomes easier for consumers to identify a Made in India product. Incidentally I buy Khadhi...

^ What was the day that they announced that it will be launched ?

prasannasimha

All the dates given are indeed tentative dates. They mention the expected launch date and it is not a firm date but mentions the month or quarter. They mention an actual date when the launch campaign starts.

prasannasimha

oh definitely! But ISRO sounded so confident and self assured of a by-the-year-end launch, first mentioning it 2 years ago in Dec 2014, then most recently just 2 weeks ago. If they are not certain of a specific launch date- that too after mentioning it several times- perhaps they should withhold an...

^ what would you like Varoon a successful launcher one that blows itself up in the air ? The time line will depend on the solution of any problems noted in the previous test. The GSLV is scheduled for Dec 2017 but such a timeline can never be written in stone in a developmental flight. Remember the ...

I think they want to refer to the 200 kN gas generator cryo stage of the GSLV Mk III (The Ce 7 being staged combustion.

Probably the next thng is to advance the LOC for every attack say by a few meters how much may depend on the mature of the terrain.

^which is why I used the term at least 4 satellites:) Actually 3 for position on earth's surface and the 4th for added altitude information

By past precedence Reliance telecom will attract with big offers and then there will be pain. I shifted from the original reliance to airtel and BSNL and it was such a pain during the shift. I still prefer BSNL for their mobile data whatever gimmicky offers the others say - they simply do not walk t...

^ The cold flow test is already done. The hot testing is going to be done in Russia till our facility is constructed.

There will not always have a 0 angle of attack- for eg when there is a pitch or yaw. Read here . From the same article you quoted After the pitchover, the rocket's angle of attack is adjusted to zero for the remainder of its climb to orbit. During the ptich maneuver the angle of attack will not be ...

Solid boosters burn from in to out but the grain configuration can make variable burning rates at different portions of the booster too. For eg a circular lower and star upper mandril during casting will cause the upper part to actually burn at a faster rate than lower(as an example). This is actual...

^ ULV or the heavy launch vehicle is the goal in a series of modifications in the multistage nonrecoverable rocket path. I doubt they will totally ditch the PSLV as it is a very cost effective rocket till they get a reusable rocket system in place which is cheaper than the PSLV.

Just to put it in perspective I know a student rocket program being done and guess the number of iterations analyzed for optimization (albeit algorithmic)- approaching 60000. It is not that simple as what some people think. There is a whole optimization study taken when using a particular configurat...

The circular orbits are achieved by firing at the nodes of an elliptical Al orbit of the 4th stage and any subsequent corrections.

prasannasimha

^ Oops my error.

prasannasimha

The 4th stage itself will be used to deliver the satellites in different orbits so satellite fuel usage will be less also with this the orbits will be significantly different. Firing the 4th stage at periapsis or apoapsis will allow an entirely different orbit. Imagine two elipses sharing one periap...

Have you factored in the coasting phase when you calculated the 40 second lugging . I think you need to checkout the velocity height profile because in some of the flights they have allowed the vehicle to actually descend assisted by gravity to increase velocity during coasting followed by next stag...

^ the shock wave sources on rocket launch are multiple and not just the nose cone slicing through the atmosphere.

prasannasimha

^ As far as costing is concerned this is not an accounting fudging but based on what ISRO is charging at present for commercial launches which are not subsidized but are for profit.

prasannasimha

Also another thing regarding costing when we say we can launch this or that with a more efficent rocket can you work out the cost per Kg payload for GSLV Mk3 to say an Ariane launcher delivering 4 Tons to GTO. The cost with this so called inefficent design is however 2/3 rd less than that of Ariane....

Again for SRB's while they do not provide a higher specific impulse they have one great advantage and that is they ahve a high energy density so a hugher thrust and this helpsactually to keep the net size/weight/complexity paradoxically down in the dense atmospheric phase as the large fuel tanks etc...

So the sonic boom signature indeed has been recorded out to a distance of 35 Kms around Pulicat lake from the launch sit as per the article posted. To quote the article The PSLV lifted-off from SHAR with the trajectory away from the line of the seismograph network. Hence we could record the boom car...

prasannasimha

Let us not forget one thing about large SRB's. Earth storing and handling is very much easier allowing preproducton that can significantly ease the launch campaign. This by itself reduces costs significantly. Also in the densw atmospheric phase the high energy density provides an advantage, simplici...

prasannasimha

^ Just for clarification a vertically launched rocket will not allow a sonic boom to pass over a ground based observer as the shock wave cone will not be in that direction but the boom will be heard if it is appropriately inclined but if the rocket yaws or pitches setting up some oblique shock waves...
