And do it for far less than $1B and practically shower eggs on Americans.

How to get details ??

And do it for far less than $1B and practically shower eggs on Americans.

To be fair, the Americans were the first to pull off and the first iteration of a product are always expensive.

The mission is called ASTRIX,it will also be placed in L2 point,but it won't be as large as JWST,but it might use 2m class primary mirror

And do it for far less than $1B and practically shower eggs on Americans.

No point in calling out Americans here.

We won't be doing this on the scale of JWST. It will be much smaller and using the already proven technologies.​

Gaganyaan tracking station site finalised, Aus-India sats to launch On SSLV, skyroot rocket | India News - Times of India

India News: Isro's Gaganyaan mission progresses with a temporary ground station at Australia's Cocos Islands. The Australian Space Agency collaborates for trackin

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Summary:

• ISRO will construct a telemetry tracking station on Australia's Cocos (Keeling) Islands for supporting the Gaganyaan manned spaceflight program, and perhaps other future missions.
• Two Australian spacecraft to launch on Indian rockets: 1) Optimus, the largest Australian-designed spacecraft to date, will fly on SSLV. 2) LatConnect60 will fly onboard Skyroot Aerospace's Vikram series in the coming years. There's another satellite by Skykraft that seems to be a joint program with a PNT (postition, navigation & timing) payload.
• Exploring possible Australian contribution to ISRO's BAS station program.

Bus MLM bhi approve hoon jaye... Life ban jaye

It's still in initial design phase, they want to send both orbiter,rover,skycrane, current LVM-3 can't do that, hence it's still on waiting list. More clarity regarding it will come only after next Semi-cryo test

This will be one for the history books if we pull it off. A whole host of technology and R&D would go into the mission:

- Trans Lunar Injection
- Successful braking and landing
- Parking the ascent module in a good orbit which is accessible for the lander
- Launch time coordination for the Lunar ascent vehicle
- In orbit rendezvous around the Moon autonomously
- Trans Earth Injection
- Trajectory correction manuevers(they need to be precise if we want the probe to land in Indian territory, instead of Pakistan or China lol)
- Developing a heat shield that can withstand the heat generated from from a trans earth injection reentry(for comparison, normal Earth reentry is around 8km/s, a trajectory coming in from the Moon will be around the range of 10-12km/s)

edit: time for me to simulate this in KSP

Do you have a better image of this chart?

Guys . Is spadex launch confirmed for this year ?
I can't search spadex here as it goes to the CI/CT thread.
