    Yes India did same thing as Israel. Both were constrained by the payload available (Israel's was a secondary payload on falcon 9 to cut cost, whereas india used PSLV and GSLV which do not have requisite heavy payload capability for large orbit thruster that can do one direct burn).

    Yes this is essentially correct. A hard landing is where you just impact the surface like bullet to earthen backstop. Science for that can be rather limited...you can do spectroscopy during the descent, or you can remote sense the impact event itself (for ejecta analysis from orbit). Carrying...

    @Vergennes may be able to add to this if he knows anything more. TBH (IMO), indonesia can likely get it lot cheaper than 200 million per LCC unit if it doesnt go for same level of offsets requirement of India (and also India's low economy of scale so far with just 36..that will only get...

    To give an idea of how some aero-india highlights are percolating to more mainstream media channels. Very good job all around for layman audience in mind. This (quick featuring) kind of stuff has really improved lately, great to see.
