Chandrayaan Lunar Mission Will Carry NASA Payload
http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Chandray...SA_Payload.html Bangalore, India (SPX) May 1, 2006 - ISRO has agreed to carry two NASA research instruments aboard its Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, the Indian lunar-orbiting mission planned for launch next year, The Hindu newspaper reported Sunday. ISRO Pushing For Indian Satellite Industry http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/ISRO_Pus...e_Industry.html Bangalore, India (SPX) May 1, 2006 - ISRO is looking to jump-start an Indian satellite industry by inviting prospective domestic contractors to work with the agency until they can develop independent manufacturing capabilities. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

SpaceListener,
1. Check this for Telemetry and Tracking Info: http://www.isro.org/Chandrayaan/htmls/ground_segment.htm Looks like Existing N/Ws, New DSN at Byalalu and External DSNs would be used. 2. Check here. http://www.isro.org/Chandrayaan/htmls/home.htm From "http://www.isro.org/Chandrayaan/htmls/mission_sequence.htm" It looks like Equatorial. 3. Mission Objectives at ISRO website says.... => " To realise the integration and testing, launching and achieving lunar polar orbit of about 100 km " So, Lunar Polar Orbit it is. |

Also, Looks like NASA is chipping in with tracking ... In addition to the two science instruments, NASA said it will provide space communications support to Chandrayaan-1. The primary location for NASA's ground tracking station will be at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland.
