Launch Vehicles





  

Launch Vehicles are used to transport and put satellites or spacecrafts into space. In India, the launch vehicles development programme began in the early 1970s. The first experimental Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV-3) was developed in 1980. An Augmented version of this, ASLV, was launched successfully in 1992. India has made tremendous strides in launch vehicle technology to achieve self-reliance in satellite launch vehicle programme with the operationalisation of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV).
PSLV represents ISRO's first attempt to design and develop an operational vehicle that can be used to orbit application satellites. While SLV-3 secured for India a place in the community of space-faring nations, the ASLV provided the rites of passage into launch vehicle technology for ISRO. And with PSLV, a new world-class vehicle has arrived. PSLV has repeatedly proved its reliability and versatility by launching 44 satellites / spacecrafts (19 Indian and 25 for international customers) into a variety of orbits so far.
ISRO also makes the Rohini series of sounding rockets used by the Indian and international scientific community to launch payloads to various altitudes for atmospheric research and other scientific investigations. These rockets are also used to qualify some of the critical systems used for advanced launch vehicles.

Satellite Launch Vehicle-3 (SLV-3), India's first experimental satellite launch vehicle was successfully launched on July 18, 1980 from SHAR Centre Sriharikota, when Rohini satellite, RS-1, was placed in orbit. SLV-3 was a 22 m long, all solid, four stage vehicle weighing 17 tonnes capable of placing 40 kg class payloads in low earth orbit. 

It employed an open loop guidance (with stored pitch programme) to steer the vehicle in flight along pre-determined trajectory. The first experimental flight of SLV-3, in August 1979, was only partially successful. Apart from the July 1980 launch, there were two more launches held in May 1981 and April 1983, orbiting Rohini satellites carrying remote sensing sensors.


ASLV
Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle (ASLV) was developed to act as a low cost intermediate vehicle to demonstrate and validate critical technologies. With a lift off weight of 40 tonnes, the 23.8 m tall ASLV was configured as a five stage, all-solid propellant vehicle, with a mission of orbiting 150 kg class satellites into 400 km circular orbits. The strap-on stage consisted of two identical 1m diameter solid propellant motors, Under the ASLV programme four developmental flights were conducted. 

The first developmental flight took place on March 24, 1987 and the second on July 13, 1988. ASLV-D3 was successfully launched on May 20, 1992, when SROSS-C (106 kg) was put into an orbit of 255 x 430 km. ASLV-D4, launched on May 4, 1994, orbited SROSS-C2 weighing 106 kg. It had two payloads, Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) Experiment and Retarding Potentio Analyser (RPA) and functioned for seven years. ASLV provided valuable inputs for further development.

Total black money in India?

Swiss bank revealed India has more money than rest of the world


This is so shocking.. ..If black money deposits was an Olympics event.. 
India would have won a gold medal hands down. The second best Russia has 
4 times lesser deposit. U.S. is not even there in the counting in top 
five! India has more money in Swiss banks 
than all the other countries combined! 



Recently, due to international pressure, the Swiss government agreed to 
disclose the names of the account holders only if the respective 
governments formally asked for it.. Indian government is not asking for 
the details... ..no marks for guessing why?



We need to start a movement to pressurize the government to do so! This 
is perhaps the only way, and a golden opportunity, to expose the high 
and mighty and weed out corruption! 

Please read on..and forward to all the honest Indians to.. 
like somebody is forwarding to you... 
and build a ground-swell of support!for action ! 

Is India poor, who says? Ask the Swiss banks. With personal account 
deposit bank of $1,500 billion in foreign reserve which have been 
misappropriated, an amount 13 times larger than the country's foreign 
debt, one needs to rethink if India is a poor country? 

DISHONEST INDUSTRIALISTS, scandalous politicians and corrupt IAS, IRS, 
IPS officers have deposited in foreign banks in their illegal personal 
accounts a sum of about $1500 billion, which have been misappropriated 
by them. This amount is about 13 times larger 
than the country's foreign debt. With this amount 45 crore poor 
people can get Rs 1,00,000 each. 

This huge amount has been appropriated from the people of India by 
exploiting and betraying them. Once this huge amount of black money and 
property comes back to India , the entire foreign debt can be repaid in 
24 hours. After paying the entire foreign debt, 
we will have surplus amount, almost 12 times larger than the foreign 
debt. If this surplus amount is invested in earning interest, the amount 
of interest will be more than the annual budget of the Central 
government. So even if all the taxes are abolished, 
then also the Central government will be able to maintain the country 
very comfortably. 

Some 80,000 people travel to Switzerland every year, of whom 25,000 
travel very frequently. 'Obviously, these people won't be tourists.. 
They must be travelling there for some other reason,' believes an 
official involved in tracking illegal money.. And, clearly, 
he isn't referring to the commerce ministry bureaucrats who've 
been flitting in and out of Geneva ever since the World Trade 
Organisation (WTO) negotiations went into a tailspin! 

Just read the following details and note how these dishonest 
industrialists, scandalous politicians, corrupt officers, cricketers, 
film actors, illegal trade and protected wildlife operators, to name 
just a few, sucked this country's wealth and prosperity. 
This may be the picture of deposits in Swiss banks only. What about 
other international banks ? 

Black money in Swiss banks - Swiss Banking Association report, 2006 
details bank deposits in the territory of Switzerland by nationals of 
following countries : 



TOP FIVE 

INDIA $1,456 BILLION 

RUSSIA $470 BILLION 

U.K. $390 BILLION 

UKRAINE $100 BILLION 

CHINA $96 BILLION 


Now do the math's - India with $1,456 billion or $1.4 trillion has 
more money in Swiss banks than rest of the world combined. Public loot 
since 1947: 

Can we bring back our money ? It is one of the biggest loots witnessed 
by mankind - the loot of the Aam Aadmi (common man) since 1947, by his 
brethren occupying public office. It has been orchestrated by 
politicians, bureaucrats and some businessmen. 

The list is almost all-encompassing. No wonder, everyone in India loots 
with impunity and without any fear. What is even more depressing in that 
this ill-gotten wealth of ours has been stashed away abroad into secret 
bank accounts located in some of the world's 
best known tax havens. And to that extent the Indian economy has been 
stripped of its wealth. Ordinary Indians may not be exactly aware of how 
such secret accounts operate and what are the rules and regulations that 
go on to govern such tax havens. However, 
one may well be aware of 'Swiss bank accounts,' the shorthand for 
murky dealings, secrecy and of course pilferage from developing 
countries into rich developed ones. 

In fact, some finance experts and economists believe tax havens to be a 
conspiracy of the western world against the poor countries. By allowing 
the proliferation of tax havens in the twentieth century, the western 
world explicitly encourages the movement of 
scarce capital from the developing countries to the rich. In March 
2005, the Tax Justice Network (TJN) published a research finding 
demonstrating that $11.5 trillion of personal wealth was held offshore 
by rich individuals across the globe. 

The findings estimated that a large proportion of this wealth was 
managed from some 70 tax havens. Further, augmenting these studies of 
TJN, Raymond Baker - in his widely celebrated book titled 
'Capitalism' s Achilles Heel: Dirty Money and How to Renew the 
Free Market System' - estimates that at least $5 trillion have 
been shifted out of poorer countries to the West since the mid-1970. 

It is further estimated by experts that one per cent of the world's 
population holds more than 57 per cent of total global wealth, routing 
it invariably through these tax havens. 

How much of this is from India is anybody's guess ...???? 
if India is doing like this the annual tern over will be less and our market will have to close down (BSE\NSE) 



we have to trace out the black money when the polities have kept ? where there they use ? but they don't have correct tax details . all are illegal only
