    One more time.

    The Google News Alert - India Moon Mission report came.
    I read.
    I saw......

    Different news agencies, reporting with different twists on a report, and
    then you see mentioned what goes to the Moon, can go closer to home, and
    doesn't need to carry a satellite.

    If you choose to look at some of these links (and some have been mentioned
    before) you can lay a political filter on top of them and read what you want
    to read. (like putting one of those red film decoder lenses on your
    favorite hidden red text to see the secret word.)

    So will there be a new race to the Moon, my booster can do it too, because
    you want to read the Moon, or just because you want to be part of the big
    booster club? How do you read this?

    Now if you are back in the USA do you share the top of the sand pile with
    your neighbors?

    India masters rocket technology for moon mission, says agency

    2003-12-07 / Associated Press /
    India's space agency says it has mastered the rocket technology needed to
    launch high-altitude satellites and send a man to the moon.

    The technology also can be used to deliver a nuclear-capable
    intercontinental ballistic missile, scientists say.

    The cryogenic engine, which uses liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, was
    successfully fired for 1,000 seconds on the ground, exceeding the 721
    seconds required for space flights, the Indian Space Research Organization
    said in a statement Friday.

    "The long-duration test conducted today marks the conclusion of the
    qualification of the cryogenic engine," the statement said.

    The successful test was the final of several trials needed to prove the
    engine's capability, and puts India in a league with the United States,
    Russia, France, Japan and China as the only countries able to build
    cryogenic engines.

    India develops rocket engine needed to launch long-range missiles, first
    moon mission

    ASSOCIATED PRESS

    BANGALORE, India, Dec. 5 — India said Friday it has developed a rocket
    engine that uses supercooled liquid fuel, a technology that would allow it
    to launch high-altitude satellites, send a man to the moon — or build
    intercontinental ballistic missiles.

    Just one more observation. The mission Clementine to the Moon (wanted to go
    further as well) took many, many images of the Moon with the newest,
    smallest instruments for whose test? - LRK -

    The Deep Space Program Science Experiment (DSPSE), the first of a series of
    Clementine technology demonstrations jointly sponsored by the Ballistic
    Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) and the National Aeronautics and Space
    Administration (NASA ), launched in early 1994. Its principal objective is
    to space qualify lightweight imaging sensors and component technologies for
    the next generation of Department of Defense (DoD) spacecraft. The
    Clementine mission uses the Moon, a near-Earth asteroid, and the
    spacecraft's Interstage Adapter (ISA) as targets to demonstrate lightweight
    component and sensor performance. As a secondary mission, Clementine returns
    valuable data of interest to the international civilian scientific sector
    It represents a new class of small, low cost, and highly capable spacecraft
    that fully embrace emerging lightweight technologies to enable a series of
    long-duration deep space missions.
