Stepping stones...
by Mathew Idikula on Jul 10, 2006 08:42 PM  Permalink 

We are already running behind on the world time line!!! Well a call to all Indian engineers to work for the nation's success. We have the capability to become technically unbeaten, Only if we unite our minds and hearts. Its fine !Failures are learning spots for us in this journey of advancement and Let us Indians support our scientists and Engineers as we work out the fool proof systems soon.We are not behind any one in this world but there area so many ahead of us. Its time we all Just keep working hard for the nation. Failures are a part of this journey .!!!

Move ahead

Failures shouldn't deter us from moving ahead. I agree that we need to increase the frequency of testing to perfect the technology.

learning comes from failure
by pramod k on Jul 10, 2006 08:28 PM  Permalink 

Almost everyone in innovation pays lip service to the notion of "failure acceptance," although anencdotal evidence shows that innovators are still wary of failure. I've been wondering what the conditions would be that might change that. It would seem to me that the idea of learning from failure needs to be ingrained, to the point where there are established processes to incorporate the lessons from failures into ongoing innovation processes in ISRO.

INSAT 4C Failures
by Girish on Jul 10, 2006 08:26 PM  Permalink 

Hi,
It is very unfortunate series of events that have occured in the recent past i.e the failure of Insat 4C and Agni III. This twin failure requires a review of the system to a certain extent, about why such things have gone wrong. There should be thorough inspection done by an independant panel about the implementation procedures that are being followed in virtually all the technological related institutions. There have been many delays and technological failures in our country E.x. LCA, Gas Turbine engines for LCA, Delays in Naval Projects. The quality and reliability for these projects has to focussed a lot.

Also these institutions need to have a look in about employing good talented candidates from institutions like IIT and other premier institutes also a feasability study should be done in order to employ scientists from friendly countries. Lets take the lead of Nasa over here where it recruits lots of multinationals from friendly countries.
One last word failures can happen at these levels of high technological areas but only effort, time and investment can make these institutions over come the failures in near futures.

Insat4C launch failure
by Sudarshan Kumar on Jul 10, 2006 08:23 PM  Permalink 

I don't see any reason for despondency.All developed countries have met with several such failures in their space missions.Every failure gives us ample opportunities to learn. I am confident our scientists will very carefully analyse all available data to find out the reasons of the dabacle and ensure that the next mission would be a success.

Lack of Good Engineers
by Vijayabharathi on Jul 10, 2006 08:21 PM  Permalink 

it is really a sad day for millons of indians who expected india in elite space club. after agni failure they expect sucess for this.. i feel lack of engineers in DRDO and ISRO made to failure. due to IT Boom nowadays persons are moving from government companies to private for more lucrative earning.. the same is happening in indian airforce.. so government should be careful bcos it deals with the defence of country

Yet another Indian space debacle
by Dr.A.Jagadeesh on Jul 10, 2006 08:17 PM  Permalink 

Yesterday it was Agni-III nuclear-capable ballistic missile debacle and today it is Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV-F02) carrying the INSAT-4C communication satellite veered from its projected path and came crashing down. Though in research nobody can guarantee success always but in areas like space where huge amounts of public funds are involved, the nation expects dedication from all those involved. Certainly those who are responsible for the failure should be taken to task. Scientists and others in ISRO are well paid and enjoy good working conditions compared to other Central Government Establishments. The Scientists should rededicate themselves from this failure to work more vigorously for future successes.

Why
by prakash on Jul 10, 2006 08:17 PM  Permalink 

Are we seeing the impact of reservations on the system these days.
Why these missions are failing.
Is it because we are not encouraging meritocracy in our presigious institutions.

Common Reinitiate Hopes
by RegenerateHope on Jul 10, 2006 08:12 PM  Permalink 

Aaree Yaroo, Science will not work now with CHALTAA Hai walee Tendency. Infact it might have worked during the age when mechanical parts were important along with roboust spare parts!! Now in this new age of sophastication, where precesion is require in all senses -- Time, length etc... Our old KAAM Chalaau approach need to stop at ALL Levels. Only our DRDO scientist are not to blame - its the old open bureaucracy and policies - those are paving the pathways for such failures (in this new technological world). We have to change - Else capable people will also loose interest and join the stream of dominating inactive brains - those just live the life for Njoyment with CHALTA HAI Style -- Common Cheers up those who are DOING the real work- World has to learn and move forward with such experiences to make better things ----JAI HIND ---V really need a change in ..............U know---------
