ISRO
While the most developed nation , USA , is busy in cutting down all of it's space research programs expenditures , India is stepping forward with it's huge scientific budgets . On 3rd August ' 2012 , the
Government of India has approved the Mars voyage of ISRO in the cabinet meeting .
On July ' 2011 , NASA has postponed the space shuttle ' Atlantis ' program . On this issue , the famous magazine , ' The Economist ' published a cover story article mentioning that there was a temporary full stop to America's outer space research program .
As a comment to the headline ' The End Of Space Era ' , the science fiction writer ,
Bruce Sterling , wrote that in the coming days astronauts from India and China would be able to hoist
their national flags on Moon . The Head of Rosetta Lander Mission of European Space Agency , Jean Pierre Bibringh , says that the thinking of the Chinese and Indian scientists are very clear and bright ,
in this regard . Such type of interest has not been noticed by American space mission . But they request
for symbiotic collaboration in stead of mindless competition , in this context .
Just after one year from this event , India declared the proposal to send a manned space ship to Mars . Some critics pointed this move as India's Space Audacity. This manned space program to Mars
will take place from Sriharikota ( Andhra Pradesh ) , towards November' 2013 .
Mars revolves in an elliptical path round the Sun . It has 55 million Km. at it's nearest and 401 million Km. at the farthest point from Earth . So it is not possible to reach Mars any time starting from
here . The oppertunity for us to reach Mars happens in the interval of 26 months . The next opportunity will be towards the end of 2013 . While the time taken for the journey to Moon is less than one week , this will be nearly 300 days for reaching Mars . The budget for the Mars voyage would be around Rs.480 crores .
It is well mentioning here that personalities like Elon Musk of USA and Richard Branson of UK are planning space vacations already .
