I hope so, India has a great scientific abilities so it is possible to do this.

I hope

We, Indians, never denied that things are easy for us to achieve, there have had been problems, but, our determination and an ardent desire to achieve the best has helped us to make our country and the rest of the world proud of us.

Yes, I am hopeful that we can achieve this difficult task and make everyone proud!

Amen.

Such a topic is related to many many diverse parameters, however, I expect that things will go alright, everybody in that field repeats the say : "The Space Race is On ! ". Appreciate positiveness by Sahar Qazi

Yes, everything that is available to human beings will be achieved with continuous and continuous effort.

I personally like India very much. India is also a developing country, and I hope that this success will be achieved.

With the best wishes

Mr Rezaei Ahvanooei

Technically is possible, financially, depends on the situation, politically too.

I think it depends on two basic aspects: financing (of course) and the second, take advantage of the experience of either China, Russia or the US, in order to verify their technology with a proper criteria, to speed up things, and do not make the same mistakes.

I hope so.

I think so. India is one of the .of the highly developed countries in Asia and the world. With its advanced modern technologies and talented people in all fields, I am sure India will highly contribute in this global race.

Let it be. Why not? They must contribute. I advise, let it be a joint - country program.

With good preparation and keen application of the great worth of scientific knowledge at their disposal, I am very optimistic that India would produce one of the best teams of astronauts to travel to the space.

I always say that if India had Iraq's natural wealth, it would now be at the top of the world in all fields

What made you ask this question here? ISRO is highly competent to do so. For sure political will is necessary and things look highly promishing

Good for them .why not ?

India’s space programme was established in 1962 and launched its first lunar probe a decade ago. In September 2014, Isro successfully guided a spacecraft into orbit around Mars, just the fourth space programme in the world to do so.

India is a giant country in terms of human capital and can succeed despite its economic weakness. Noting that all nuclear reactors in Europe, Russia and America have scientists of Indian nationality

ISRO has already developed the technologies like human crew module, environment control and life support system that will help in sending an Indian astronaut to space as per the report of Mr. K. Sivan, Chairman, ISRO.

Prior to the actual launch by 2022, the Indian Space Research Organisation has planned to have two unmanned missions and spacecraft will be fired using Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark-III.

If successful, India would be the fourth country in the world to achieve that feat after the US, Russia and China.

Scientific knowledge/thinking has been in our gene, technological development was hampered for last several centuries. Political stability will for sure instigate more innovations for benefits at local scale that will contribute too at global perspective

Thanks @ Emad Kamil Hussein , Sahar Qazi , Jacinto Jesús Rodríguez Pérez

If government will, ISRO can do it. Hope to see in 2022.

India came one step closer to completing a satellite-driven digital broadband revolution with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launching the second, high throughput communication satellite Gsat-29 on board GSLV MK-III on 14.11.2018.

The success boosts ISRO’s confidence as it readies for its second moon mission and first human mission, which will use tweaked versions of GSLV MK-III. Gsat-29, which will provide high end communication, also has a high-resolution camera which keeps a watch over India and its surroundings.

This is the second development flight of the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark III, which will be used for India’s human spaceflight programme scheduled for 2022 and Chandrayaan-2 in January 2019.

Of course it is feasible!

Very important to have in Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) the astronauts witch able to benefits of têptional condition into space

Military communication satellite GSAT-7A, due to be launched on December 19 evening from Sriharikota, is expected to add a new space-based dimension to the way Indian Air Force interlinks, operates and communicates with its aircraft as they fly and with command centres on ground, according to multiple sources.

Although all Indian communication satellites offer capacity to the armed forces, GSAT-7A will be the first one built primarily for the IAF to qualitatively unify its assets and improve combined, common intelligence during operations. With integrated action being a buzzword it will also support aerial activities of the Army and the Navy where required.

“About 70% of it would be for the Air Force and the rest for the needs of the Army,” said a source in Delhi. The ground force’s Army Aviation Corps operates many helicopters, uses UAVs and will acquire fixed wing aircraft in future — all for surveillance and rescue missions.

Multiple sources said the satellite using Ku band will enable superior real time aircraft-to-aircraft communication; and between planes that are in flight and their commanders on the ground.

It would enhance by many times the coverage now provided by ground communication systems such as radars and stations of the Army.

Out-of-sight and remote areas where ground infrastructure and signals are difficult would get into the critical information loop.

I hope so .

India technology is dynamic and so it is possible

Based on what I Know the Indians for, it is very possible

A communications satellite GSAT-7A that will help connect all assets of the Indian Air Force and work as a force multiplier has taken off from Sriharikota spaceport on 19.12.2018. The GSAT-7A will connect all Air Force assets like planes, air-borne early warning control platforms, drones and ground stations, building a centralized network. Along with GSAT-7 and GSAT-6, this new satellite, dubbed the "Indian Angry Bird", will form the band of communications satellite for use of Indian military. The GSAT-7A is the 17th mission and the last launch of Indian space agency ISRO this year.

As per the report of ISRO, Chandrayaan-2, is planned during early 2019. It is India's second mission to the Moon and is a totally indigenous mission comprising of an Orbiter, Lander and Rover. After reaching the 100 km lunar orbit, the Lander housing the Rover will separate from the Orbiter. After a controlled descent, the Lander will soft land on the lunar surface at a specified site and deploy a Rover.

The mission will carry a six-wheeled Rover which will move around the landing site in semi-autonomous mode as decided by the ground commands. The instruments on the rover will observe the lunar surface and send back data, which will be useful for analysis of the lunar soil.

The Chandrayaan-2 weighing around 3290 kg and would orbit around the moon and perform the objectives of remote sensing the moon. The payloads will collect scientific information on lunar topography, mineralogy, elemental abundance, lunar exosphere and signatures of hydroxyl and water-ice.

I hope it, s feasible.

GSLV-F10/Chandrayaan-2 Mission is planned during early 2019.

After Israel's unsuccessful attempt to land on Moon, Chandrayaan-2 mission by ISRO, has been further postponed to July 2019. The launch of India's Moon mission was scheduled in April but it was postponed after Israel's Beresheet spacecraft crashed during moon landing early this month.

ISRO is going to launch RISAT-2B, a Radar imaging earth observation satellite, from the First Launch Pad (FLP) of Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota on May 22, 2019.

PSLV-C46 is the 14th flight of PSLV in 'core-alone' configuration (without the use of solid strap-on motors). This will be the 72nd launch vehicle mission from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota and 36th launch from the First Launch pad. RISAT-2B will be placed into an orbit of 555 km at an inclination of 37 degree.

Interesting!

Hello. Can you give me more details of this satellite? Details such as radiation angle, image resolution, orbital repeat period and ...Thanks.

ISRO launched Chandrayaan-2 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre on 22 July 2019 at 14.43 IST to the Moon by a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III (GSLV Mk III). It consists of a lunar orbiter, lander and rover, all developed in India. The main scientific objective is to map the location and abundance of lunar water.

The lander (Vikram, named after Vikram Sarabhai who is widely regarded as the father of the Indian space programme) and the rover (Pragyan) will land in a high plain between two craters, Manzinus C and Simpelius N, at a latitude of about 70° south. The wheeled rover will move on the lunar surface and will perform on-site chemical analysis. It can relay data to Earth through the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter and lander, which will fly on the same launch.

A successful landing on the Moon would make India the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on the Moon, after USSR, USA and China. If successful, Chandrayaan-2 will be the southernmost lunar landing, aiming at 67°S or 70°S latitude.

Great achievement for Asia if India become the 2nd Asian nation to land on the moon. Did the Israeli Beresheet fail beacuse of the roundabout distance it took to land on the moon? Hope the Indian spacecraft will take a more direct route.

What is the latest status for Indian Human spaceflight? Any updated timeline?

What is the latest status for Indian Human spaceflight?

From 5 years to 10 years. On my opinion it is a best scenario.

Could be faster if India will create a cooperation with Russia or USA.
