deccanchronicleonline.com GSLV to be launched in Jan 2000, India will be ready with ITS OWN CRYOGENIC ENGINE SOON. PICTURES 2.5 METRE RESOLUTION - WILL IMPROVE LATER. Petty Skeptic (me)to be sent on board to see it for myself. I say it is a spacedream...Cryogenic Engine made by Indians, It is lots of laughter! It is a piece of junk, discarded by Russians. What a loser nation? Pakistan makes Cryogenic engines by thousands to send COURAGEOUS CAMEL AND SNOOTY SNOOPY IN TO SPACE TO SNOOP AND SPY ON INDIA. Director VSSpace Center MAD HAVAN (MADHAVAN) gloats. WITH A NAME LIKE MAD HAVAN, he is not going anywhere, BUT TO a LOONEY BIN. WHAT A LOSER Now let us read this false reportage Thiruvananthapuram: The country would cross significant milestones in the space sector in the year 2000 when it launches the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle in January and develops its own cryogenic engine in the first quarter, the newly-appointed director of the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre Dr G Madhavan Nair said on Sunday. Addressing a meet-the-press programme organised here by the Press Club, he said the cryogenic engine would be used in the second or third launch of the GSLV until 2002. The maiden launch of GSLV was scheduled to be conducted in January, 2000, he said. Nair said the GSLV, which was capable of carrying satellites weighing upto 2,500 kg, was intended put satellites in orbit 36,000 km above the earth. He said the country was at present making use of cryogenic engine?s supplied by Russia. ?The making of India?s own engine will take us to a position of self-reliance in the space sector,? he said. ?The decision to develop our own engine came in 1992 and got approved in 1994 after which our scientists have been working with the aim of fulfilling this project,? he said. Nair said India had a unique position among developing countries through its achievements in space sector. Pictures from the country?s remote sensing satellites were the finest. ?We are making a small beginning in commercial operations,? he said. Pictures taken by satellite for military purposes would be of 2.5 metre resolution and this would be improved further,? Nair said.
