lost Indian - Moon - 6 hours ago

班加罗尔:印度空间研究组织(Isro)上周五证实，印度第二次探月任务“月船2号”的发射将推迟到4月底。Isro原本计划在今年1月和2月的首个可用窗口发射“月船2号”。

BENGALURU: After missing several targets, Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) on Friday confirmed that Chandrayaan-2, the country's second mission to the moon, would not be launched before the end of April. Isro had planned to launch Chandrayaan-2 in the first available window (January and February) this year.

关于印度电信部分对卫星的需求，包括答应运营商提供空中呼唤服务的资源，Sivan说:“我们已经有了GSAT-29、GSAT-11和GSAT-20等卫星，它们将通过进步互联网速度来完成“数字印度”计划，也可以用于飞行途中的通话。”

莫迪的又一神来之笔。

Isro chairman Sivan K said, "We could not complete a few tests. Now we are looking at a March-April window." If Isro misses this window, the mission would be pushed to June, he added. While the new configuration of the lander had caused some delay, Isro was also engaged in multiple launches in the second half of 2018, which affected work on the moon mission.

On the telecom department's requests for satellites, including resources to allow operators to provide in-flight call services, Sivan said: "We already have GSAT-29, GSAT-11 and GSAT-20 among other satellites, which will complete the Digital India programme by enhancing internet speed. These can also be used for in-flight calls. Talks are on."

印度时报读者评论：

Another masterstroke from FEKU.

ISRO加油！万无一失总比后悔要好。

Isro主席Sivan K说:“我们无法完成一些测试。现在我们看好3 - 4月的发射窗口，假如Isro错过了这次机会，任务将推迟到6月。固然着陆器的新配置造成了一些延迟，但Isro在2018年下半年也进行了多次其他发射任务，这也影响了登月任务的进展。”

Sivan表示，印度斯坦航空有限公司和L&T将牵头一个财团，建造极轨卫星运载火箭(PSLV)，该运载火箭多年来一直是Isro的主力。他还表示，该财团将建造GSLV级火箭。

He said that of the Rs 30,000 crore sanctioned by the go nment for various programmes - including Rs 10,000 crore for Gaganyaan - 80% would go to the private sector.

Chandrayaan-2 launch delayed to April-end, says Isro chief

Sivan列出了除Gaganyaan任务之外2019年的发射任务和项目，其中包括可重复使用运载火箭的关键测试，将在第四阶段测试一项新技术的PSLV发射，以及计划于9月至10月发射的GSAT-20。

China has landed on the far side of the Moon. Its Moon lander and rover are working as planned. Indians have already lost a great opportunity of bragging and boasting. Why bother to send up chandrayan-2?

Sivan said Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and L&T would lead a consortium that would build the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), which has been Isro's workhorse for years. He also said the consortium would build GSLV class rockets.

After saying everything is fully ready for launch, sudden cancellation and then pushing to April saying there are many tests pending is nothing but a political step!. I am sure this is only to help BJP!.

Sivan listed launches and projects lined up for 2019 apart from Gaganyaan. Among them are key tests of the Re-usable Launch Vehicle, a PSLV launch that will test a new technology on its fourth stage and GSAT-20, planned for October-September.

他表示，海运报价 国际快递，在政府为各种项目批准的3000亿卢比中(含Gaganyaan任务的1000亿卢比)，铁路运输 上海空运，80%将流向私营部分。

ISRO主席称，“月船2号”的发射推迟到4月底

在公布一切预备停当后，忽然取消发射计划，并将发射日期推迟到4月，理由是还有很多测试要做，这不过是政治需要，我相信这只是为了帮助印度人民党!

Go ISRO! Better safe than sorry.
