such a huge diff in the way isro is putting info out in SM, with all those pictures

^Mangalyaan is just a 'nickname'? Source?

Last time I checked, there are so many problems 'everywhere'; So better keep quiet

- Nice explanation when pointing out the anomaly in naming a prestigious project which will be known down to future generations.

Why does ISRO update say "all engines fired by now"? Only one engine, no?

Fvking commentary is irritating, he is probably watching like us on youtube. Muruga....

SriKumar · Post by **SriKumar** » 24 Sep 2014 06:42

The commentator says '6 minutes to prajwalan' (engine ignition).
THe computer screen in front of mission controller had Hindi text.

The Mission controllers are all experienced middle-aged men/women. The first picture (2 pages ago) showing young guys must have been a one-off.

partha · Post by **partha** » 24 Sep 2014 06:46

All employees are looking naaarmal without any tension on their faces which is a good sign.

SwamyG · Post by **SwamyG** » 24 Sep 2014 06:46

Commentator states the MOI maneuver must have started on the craft.

Dilbu · Post by **Dilbu** » 24 Sep 2014 06:46

ISRO has caught up with live tweets. DD is still maintaining its standard in coverage. Commentary is focusing on dignitaries and decorations more than the actual event.

SwamyG · Post by **SwamyG** » 24 Sep 2014 06:46

Some clapping going on.......but nothing being mentioned.

MOM burn was confirmed and burn parameters are normal

Dilbu · Post by **Dilbu** » 24 Sep 2014 06:55

R7 and R8 were burning for a few minutes when I saw this on screen.

Victor · Post by **Victor** » 24 Sep 2014 06:56

They should have just handed over the coverage to an ISRO engineer and let him/her do the needful. This nonsense will take some time to erase.
