3 routes established and available AFAIK: Lander to Earth direct Relay via CY-2 orbiter Relay via CY-3 orbiter

These are all democrat monolith run too. Competence only comes with competition politically. You have same guys running the place for decades, this is what sets in over time. Labour union bribe system kept in place while the industry is shipped overseas. So more reliance on same set of...

The answer lies like I said earlier already. BD has to actually develop strategic autonomy rather than caring what A B or C thinks and says sitting outside BD and pointing fingers there first thing. For others to take BD credibly, it needs to take itself credibly first and prove it....rather...

So? GDP "advantage" in cali is increasingly artifact of its ever growing debt levels (compared to other states of the US). If you shove in 2x or 3x more debt (compared to previous decades) all using collateral from stuff your generation didnt even build in first place but are extremely...

The landing cameras (3 of them: position detection, hazard detection, horizontal velocity) dont have the bit rate for steady video capture etc....they are optimized for the (CCD sensor pixel tracking etc) algorithms involving landing, so their macro-feed is going to be passable but choppy. Who...

@Gessler et al, the new spaceport being developed will allow direct due south launches without having to go round SL like currently from SHAR.

Is there larger discussion among other journalists and media groups, i.e do they take the guy credibly etc on this matter? There have been lot of dead end one-offs lately (just within RUS-UKR war alone) so if it stays just one person with no one else of note backing things up, my eyes glaze...

From what I know of the CCP, a conflict of any real significant level with India is fraught with new level of risks long term that they adjudge as not worth exploring given India's size and role for this century and long term alliances it can strengthen counter to China's interests in deep ways...

ISRO’s Chandrayaan-3 lunar lander has been observed by ISRO’s Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter using the Orbiter High-Resolution Camera (OHRC), on 23 August 2023, at 22:17 IST.

Only minor partially. The topography (where the himalayan shield meets Assam and cascades into the mountains and valleys) makes this hypothetical lot harder compared to upstream brahmaputra retention/diversion where the steadier Tibetan plateau still exists. Most of their claim originates from...

IAF to order around 100 more LCA Mark-1A fighter jets for over USD 8 billion https://aninews.in/news/national/general-news/iaf-to-order-around-100-more-lca-mark-1a-fighter-jets-for-over-usd-8-billion20230824185201/

7800 crore ~ 1 billion USD

Should have been done 5 years ago, a return to conventional economics to get ahead of the problem. Turkiye could have been at 1 trillion nominal GDP at least by now. 250 billion in production was essentially squandered away for no reason and this will compound in the opportunity cost...

Judging from the sources listed and the data published, the Koreans are making good strides in underlying materials research. The laboratory capacity is very good to achieve some of the results I can see. That is the only way to mature the whole field from inside-out as possible....as the...

I saw a few memes with Kalam saab smiling from heavens. My mom also mentioned him when I chatted with her just earlier. The boys and girls have all done him very proud. Jai Hind. 🇮🇳 =====================================================

ISRO scripted a big breakthrough Wednesday as its Chandrayaan-3 mission successfully landed near the Moon’s south pole. In Ep 1296 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta brings in ThePrint’s science wizards — Sandhya Ramesh in Bengaluru and Mohana Basu in Delhi — to understand why the...
