Our Scientific Edge

Dual setback for Indian defence & space scientists ! One was supposed to have been a maiden flight and other was to follow a textbook lauch path ! But good news is our scientists are not morally down, they are ready to fight back which they have always accomplished.
ISRO unfortunately broke its series of 12 successful launches .. Record has been impeccable .. Out of 21 only 5 have failed so far .. Flambouyant chairman of ISRO means what he says .. Known for his tough stance & maganement skills no doubt our space program will reach new heights . Next year might be a dual success with "Kaveri" cryoengine also coming in.
Anyone who has been closely observing our progress would agree the resiliance of DRDO thro its IGMDP .. Complex engineering projects like missile tech has its inherent problems of accuracy and timing. Second stage ignition seems to be the initial problem failure analysis by them . More on this would take time. IGMDP, kalam's brain child has tread many a successful lauches doing him & our country proud. His usual advocacy being " Strengh respects strength" . They have come to stage of marketing their technology at global arena. Brahmos is an apt example(name after brahmaputra+moscow)
Key aspect to note is that ,with all these happenings in light of ongoing Indo-nuclear deal it is imperative that India asserts herself to secure readiness of key technologies of strategic importance, where "compromise" does not have place at all ! Given our history of strategic technology progress, India's "scientific edge" will continue to attain new heights from any setback ! "Indigenous" mantra would be the key
