Clarke Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Why should we celebrate this ? Asteroids go phaaster and longer and natural satellites are far more enduring than man made ones. This might be entertaining to you math/science morons but smart people prefer waiting for Ra Eleven.

Zanjeer Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Fantastic job. :two_thumbs_up: It hurts me to say this. But congrats Madarasis and southies. All the scientists working there seems to be south Indians. Especially Madarasis and mallus.
CSK Fan Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 So, the satellite is going to orbit earth for a month, gathering enough velocity to then escape earth's gravity, and then travel to Mars for 9 months. Once their, they would need to restart engines so that it goes into orbit around Mars.
ganeshran Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Next Stop is GSLV. It has been ISRO's achilles heel
diga Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Next Stop is GSLV. It has been ISRO's achilles heel Isnt it Cryogenic engines?
Ghost Buster Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Excellent ISRO, now next challenge is on nov30 when the orbiter leaves earth's orbit to fulfil a long journey.
Ghost Buster Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Isnt it Cryogenic engines? Its the indigenous cryo stage, the difference bt pslv & gslv is cryo engine which takes a satellite to geo-synchronous orbit. First attempt failed when cryo engine didnt work , second attempt aborted due to a big fuel leak in second stage of rocket.
hhunaeh Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 What follows in the next 10 days would be six crucial "orbit raising operations," in the wee hours of November 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 16. And then, at 12.42am on December 1, the orbiter will leave the earth's orbit for a 300-day journey to the red planet.
beetle Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 even though I dislike Indians and anything indian (other than me' date= my friends and family) I sincerely hope this mission is a success for all the bright minds involved and the sacrifices they made. :bike: aur ek baar:bike:

CSK Fan Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 BTW, some Money spent for this mission is not from public funds. ISRO makes money by selling weather data, renting out transponders to telecom and DTH companies. Its part of the earned amount that has been spent here. No public money is wasted here

Prakat Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Cost approximately 27 million USD. 0.003 of GDP. Benefit: Mission to Mars. I'd say we spent the money wisely.
