I was on the way to office (in chennai, near tambaram) and missed to see live webcast, but i was looing at the sky to see if i can find any smoke line from distance. Surprisingly i saw a smoke line in the sky at distance north, when i almost reached my office at around 11 AM and thought the launch w...

I do not support names other than sanskrit origin ones. sanskrit based names represent our actual culture and heritage.
Rest all names represent or communicate non-standard and non-Indian philosophies.

TOI reports Astra's Second test is successful..

Hmm good news. I wish, Astra enters production by 2014.
in 2001, i read in news papers that Astra will be ready by 2010.

another kaveri? or slow but ok like akash?

... It has to repeat the same tests, and start moving towards high speed tests exceeding/ upto Mach 1.8 besides, endurance test once in flight re-fueler once attached to LCA. How do we go to Mach 1.8 on a IL-76 :?: Or will we see the Kaveri integrated onto another a/c? Read again what Saik wrote. T...

I wonder why IAF is so late to procure long range Air to air or surface to air missiles. It should have possessed them readily by now. If it is sending RFPs and RFIs now, when does it get them and when does it induct them? where was the multi billion budget going all these days. Spending on kicked ...

I think, IAF can not depend exclusively on ASTRA. It needs some missiles of better ranges than ASTRA (like 130-150 km range) too. So, it is good to buy long range missiles if available in the market. Also, ASTRA is not still ready for induction. In year 2003, i read a news that Astra will be ready f...

Happy ISRO and well wishers.

Friends,
launch status update please.

Surprisingly, if either isro or drdo achieves a bit, they show it as a hill big achievement. They over boast. When comes to work, they are not performing with sufficient craze. Radakrishnan told that they will relaunch GSLV with in a year again with our cryo engine. A year almost over..., even test ...

I have been asking this question quite often. Are there any paan wala or chai wala who can confrim or deny the existence for the plans for a follow up order for NAG beyond the ones already ordered. Were there some(limited) orders alreaday? as per one of the top DRDO officials, in a recent news arti...

It is hurting me a lot to see consecutive failures/delays in ISRO.
The name of the running telugu year is 'vikruti', meaning 'destruction' or 'loss'. (rockest are launched from andhra.)

Will look at the F06 picture and let you know. I suspect the cables are the black strip running at the top of the vehicle. However a question. Was the 4m dia fairing ver frlow with te Russian cryo stage. To me look slike not. And that combination was the problem. Also I dont understand the primary ...

Jut yesterday,I gathered the news that PSLV will be launched on or after march 20th.Reason being, a pending test of a new key component to ensure no surprise after launch. Today, I read in a Telugu news paper that PSLV will be dismantled now, meaning that the PSLV will be launched only in quarter 2 ...

PSLV with resource sat is scheduled for launch on or after march 20th.

I am frequently seeing the news that LCA completes IOC by this year end (only 2 more months).
There was no radar guided missile firing till now. NO heavy bomb(and LGBs) dropping.
No cannon firing.
Does IOC not need these? or will they do these complex tasks in just 2 months?

kvraghavaiah

Congrats ISRO
Goog relief now for Radhakrishna, ISRO team and BRF Fans who got stressed by the GSLV CUS failure and an anamoly observed in PSLV-C15 initially.

I have some questions and curiosity to know a few things about SAMs. GURUs here please clarify. 1.

You could have suggested it when they performed the tests .... it is too easy to blame when thing might go wrong. Although I am hopeful everything will...

A rocket is unguided.Rockets are used as alternative to bomb shells and bullets.
A launch vehicle is a guided space vehicle. Ofcourse, sometimes even launch vehicles are called rockets.
A missile is a guided destructive weapon.
