New Delhi: Union Home Ministry has written a letter to the Karnataka and Kerala governments about a possible threat to Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) space scientists, according to sources.

The Home Ministry has asked the state governments to step up security for the scientists.

The advisory issued by the Home Ministry said at least six middle rung space scientists are on the terror radar.
Reacting to the threat, ISRO said that they have a three-tier security set up and all scientists are safe.

On Thursday, the Government had issued an advisory warning various airports of terror attacks but eventually withdrew the advisory within hours of it being issued.

The advisory, issued by the Director General of Civil Aviation at the behest of the Home Ministry, had very specific "intelligence inputs" of a 9/11-style hijack plot.

ЛЕ-БУРЖЕ, 16 июня. (ИТАР-ТАСС). Пока не подписано никаких соглашений с Индией в области пилотируемой космонавтики, сообщил 15 июня на пресс-конференции на "Париж эйршоу-2009" в Ле-Бурже глава Федерального космического агентства (Роскосмос) Анатолий Перминов.

Отвечая на вопрос, не планирует ли России либо запустить космонавта из Индии, либо оказать помощь этой стране в реализации пилотируемой программы, Перминов сказал: "Переговоры на этот счет у нас в самом начале. Никаких соглашений не подписано. Мы поддерживаем стремление Индии заниматься пилотируемой программой".

India plans to develop reusable spacecraft with Russia: Nair

30 Jun 2009, 1714 hrs IST

India is keen to expand its ongoing space cooperation with Russia to joint development of a "cheaper" reusable spacecraft, ISRO Chairman Madhavan Nair has said. "India would like to continue strengthening space cooperation (with Russia) and also to expand it by means of development of cheap reusable spacecraft," he said in an interview to the government-run RIA Novosti.

ISRO and Russia's federal space agency Roskosmos are currently working on the joint Chandrayan-2 project for which the Russian side would provide a lunar landing craft to put a Moon-rover for the lunar research. Under the agreement signed in 2007, the Chandrayan-2 lunar mission is planned in 2011-2012 for which ISRO is developing new powerful GSLV-Mark-III space launch vehicle, Nair said.

Russia is also helping India in its first manned space flight due in 2015. "In December 2008 India and Russia signed an agreement on cooperation in manned space flights. Under this agreement Roskosmos is helping ISRO in preparing for the manned mission," Nair said.

According to the ISRO chief, a space capsule with two astronauts would be launched at low earth orbit of 275 kilometres on about a weeklong orbital flight. Recalling the history of space cooperation with Moscow, Nair said it began in 1962 with the launching of Soviet meteorological rockets from Thumba rocket range in Kerala and orbiting of first Indian satellites Aryabhatta, Bhaskara-1 and Bhaskara-2 and three IRS series remote-sensing satellites aboard Russian launch vehicles.

India's $3 billion manned capsule awaits approval
By Rob Coppinger

The Indian Space Research Organisation expects by the end of the year to have government approval for a $3 billion manned spacecraft programme designed to launch a three-crew capsule to orbit by 2016.

Uusing ISRO's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle MkIII rocket to launch the capsule, the organisation's chairman G Madhavan Nair says preliminary study work has been under way. He adds that the agency has had discussions with Russia's Federal Space Agency, which helped China with its manned space programme. Nair says that the capsule would be an entirely domestic design and that Russia could provide "test facilities and the astronaut training we need".

Speaking to Flightglobal at the 1st European Union European Space Agency international conference on human space exploration, he added that the MkIII, which has its maiden flight in 2011, would be ready to launch astronauts. ISRO wants to join the International Space Station programme and it could provide crew transport.

"If everything goes through successfully, we can attempt a launch by 2011 beginning," GLSV Mk III project director N Narayan Moorthy informed the media here.

The GSLV-III or Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III , is a launch vehicle currently under development by the Indian Space Research Organization. GSLV Mk III is conceived and designed to make ISRO fully self reliant in launching heavier communication satellites of INSAT-4 class, which weigh 4500 to 5000  kg. It would also enhance the capability of the country to be a competitive player in the multimillion dollar commercial launch market. The vehicle envisages multi-mission launch capability  for GTO, LEO, Polar and intermediate circular orbits.

GSLV-Mk III is designed to be a three stage vehicle, with 42.4 m tall with a lift off weight of 630 tonnes. First stage comprises two identical S200 Large Solid Booster (LSB) with 200 tonne solid propellant, that are strapped on to the second stage, the L110 re-startable liquid stage. The third stage is the C25 LOX/LH2 cryo stage. The large payload fairing measures 5 m in diameter and can accommodate a payload volume of 100 cu m. The development work on Mk III is progressing as per schedule for a launch in 2011.

India hopes to join cryogenic rocket engine club January 2010  
 
2009-12-04 17:20:00  
 

India's heaviest rocket - the 49-metre tall, 414-tonne Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle (GSLV), powered by the indigenous cryogenic engine, will be launched in January 2010, making it a member of the select club of countries possessing this technology.

Officials of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) say the space agency will start the new year in style, launching the GSLV-D3 carrying the two-tonne communication satellite GSAT-4 sometime next month and not December as hoped earlier............

Indian "Vyomanauts" All Set To Rise Up In Space

by Staff Writers
London, UK (PTI) Jan 08, 2010

Reports indicate that the Indian media has branded its astronauts as "vyomanauts", a word derived from the Sanskrit language.
According to a report in New Scientist, the tongue-twisting term comes from the Sanskrit for sky or space - that is - 'vyoma'.

The closest Sanskrit word to astronaut would have been vyomagami, for something that passes in the sky.

The other word for an Indian spacefarer that had been bandied about was gaganaut, as gagan is also Sanskrit for sky.

But "vyoma is very good", according to Choudury Upender Rao, a professor of Sanskrit studies at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi. "It's an appropriate choice," he added

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is now in the process of choosing four vyomanauts from a pool of 200 fighter pilots, P. Madhusoodanan of the Indian Air Force.

India's first crewed space mission is scheduled for 2015, designs for which were unveiled last year by Madhavan Nair, former chairman of ISRO.

The three-person vehicle will initially carry two vyomanauts into 275-kilometre low-Earth orbit. Before this flight, ISRO will launch its second moon mission in 2013...

ISRO plans special launch pad at Sriharikotta

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The third launch pad planned at ISRO's Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, is going to be something special.

While it will meet the space agency's needs for the 2015 Human Space Flight Mission, the launch pad is also being designed to accommodate the proposed Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV), India's dream space shuttle which is on the designing board, ISRO officials said.

''The preliminary design for the third launch pad is complete. It will be able to take care of all future programmes of the ISRO, including the Human Space Flight Mission and the Reusable Launch Vehicle,'' officials said.

ISRO has also started designing a landing strip for the Reusable Launch Vehicle at the Sriharikota Range.

The third pad is coming up one kilometre south of the spaceport's second pad, which was used to lift off the PSLV-XL rocket bearing the Chandrayaan-I mission in 2008. It is expected to be completed by 2015, coinciding with the Human Space Flight Mission for which the GSLV rocket is to be used.

''Since human beings are to be sent to space, the new pad is specially designed.

It will have facilities such as a Crew Escape Module which could come handy in an emergency during the launch,'' sources said.

An Reusable Launch Vehicle is expected to save the space agency massively in mission costs.

Today, each kilogram of the payload costs around $ 12,000 to be placed in space.

Three launch pads will also enhance ISRO's capability for multiple launches with the space agency's annual number of launches on the rise.

В начале будет так:

Индия может выкупить один российский космический корабль "Союз" для отправки двух своих космонавтов на орбиту в 2013 году.
 "От индийской стороны нам поступило предложение выкупить пилотируемый корабль "Союз". Этот вопрос сейчас обсуждается. По нашим оценкам, это - вполне реально на рубеже 2013 года", - сказал "Интерфаксу-АВН" заместитель руководителя Роскосмоса Виталий Давыдов.
По его словам, к этому времени РКК "Энергия", которая строит российские пилотируемые корабли, обновит свою производственную базу и будет способна производить по пять "Союзов" в год.
Учитывая сроки строительства кораблей, сказал собеседник агентства, индийская сторона должна окончательно подтвердить свое предложение в начале года. "Если они не сделают этого, мы сместим полет на более дальний срок. Есть другие желающие полностью выкупить "Союз", - заявил В.Давыдов.
Он рассказал, что индийская сторона должна будет оплатить все расходы по запуску, в том числе подготовку и полет российского космонавта, который будет командиром экипажа.
Рассматриваемое предложение не включает полет индийских космонавтов на Международную космическую станцию, а предполагает лишь полет на орбиту, сказал В.Давыдов. Длительность полета пока не определена, хотя Индия желает отправить своих космонавтов в космос на неделю

Тут интереснее другое. 5 Союзов в год-конкретное  наращивание мощностей.
Я бы скорее сказал - 5-7 Союзов в год плюс ППТС.
