ISRO’s GSLV D3 Mission – A Failure? Or A Stepping Stone?

It’s a sad coincidence that today’s failure of ISRO’s GSLV D3 Mission. Space missions are fraught with risks and failures. ISRO has had a reasonably good track record, especially if you compare it with the early days of the USA and USSR Space Programs. And ISRO has been able to achieve success on a literal shoe-string budget as compared to what the other space leaders have spent.

What is the big deal with the Cryogenic Engine? A Cryogenic Engine uses a liquid propellant (typically liquid hydrogen) that is stored at a very low temperature (below –200 C). The other engines that have been used in ISRO’s rockets (including the first two stages of today’s mission) are solid fuel propellant based. Cryogenic Engines deliver a longer duration and more powerful thrust, per unit weight of propellant. They can also be controlled more effectively as compared to solid fuel propellant engines. Hence Cryogenic Engines are critical, as the range and weight capabilities of space mission’s increase. GSLV rocket has been designed to put heavy payloads (communication satellites, etc.) into a ‘Geo-Synchronous’ orbit (36,000 km orbit around the from earth). It will also provide a basis for future ISRO Missions to the Moon and beyond.

A little after 4:30pm IST, a huge cloud of gloom descended upon ISRO. The first two stages had performed per expectations. However the 3rd stage powered by the cryogenic engine failed and the flight deviated from its desired path.

I am confident that ISRO will bounce back successfully from today’s failure, with the 2nd test flight due later this year. The data and results will be analyzed and corrective actions taken and soon India will join as 6^th country of own Cryogenic Engine. Let’s not forget the spectacular success of the recent Chandrayaan Mission!!!

Indian Court

Constitution of India

One of the oldest and strongest constitution in the world. BUT there are nearly 30 million cases pending in Indian courts particularly in Madras High Court (406,958 pending cases) and Bombay High Court (362,949) were the others with a large number of pending cases.

If a person put a case by the age of 20yrs hopefully he may complete it by the age of 80yrs in some cases even there grandsons and daughter only will complete the cases most of the people afraid to go to court because of these DEAD SLOW this is one of the major reason for keeping India in a top rank of corruption, instead of going to court rich people prefer corrupt. And poor don’t know what to do.

Will the condition change?

People started abrading of the word vaidya when this word will vanish in court

Solution

• A time period must be allotted/fixed for cases (for civil cases maximum 2yrs for criminal cases maximum 1yrs) likewise, Accordingly
• If a case exceeds the time limit they must increase number of judges handling the case
• Must increase the number of courts and judges
• Everything must be computerized and people must be given a login in which end to end cases status must be updated(this may increase employment and takes court inside people home, if it happens the site will beat Google in terms of Visitors)
• In every ministry a ministry advisor must be appointed(He must be a youngster and a Indian Institute of Management IIM graduate)

We have seen the big holes in the constitution and also given solutions to fill up these holes. Hopefully we will see will it come true or the number of pending cases increase now everything in the hands of Politicians and Journalists…
