India's Chandrayaan-1 now in lunar orbit!

[Exarx]

it seems that they are talking of putting a landrover on the moon, that would be awesome indeed!

again, lets hope they arent shy with the pictures. But then again, India doesnt seem to cover up as much as other countries, im thinking of the giant skeletons in India as well as other things.
So lets hope for the best.

Excellent news! India is very open about their information about science and even the UFO issue. I'm eager to see what kind of images and information that they decide to release.

Congratulations India!

And they have landed a rover today and are recieving pictures!!!

Maybe man will finally walk on the moon for real

No they are not putting a land rover up there. They are dropping an impactor with a flag on it to claim turf.

O.K. not a rover but more than a flag pole!Main objectives:

Analyse geological, mineralogical and topographical aspects of the lunar surface in unprecedented detail
Study the vertical distribution of crustal material
Investigate the processes that led to the formation of craters, maria and basins on the Moon
Explore space weathering processes, that result from the interaction of the solar wind and cosmic rays with the Moon’s surface
Analyse the magnetic anomalies on the lunar surface
Search for ices at the poles
Produce 3D maps of regions of particular scientific interest at high spatial resolution (5-10 m)
Drop an impact probe on the lunar surface to test near-surface properties and test impact technology

Gee-Whizz, Gizmo Dudes, I sure hope those who already have Bases there (especially on the 'Dark-Side', HaHa ) don't take the Impact Probe dropping through their Roof as a sign of Hostility. Sure would not want to have a Space War get started for the sake of Science.


For the Peace among All Beings.

Some more pictures of the moon from Chandrayaan-1:

Lets hope it gets more exciting soon-ish.

pictures look same as NASA's ...all kinda photoshoped.... no visible stars???? I don't believe them.

November 15, 2008 - India's Lunar Orbiter
Crash-Lands Probe On Moon's South Pole.

The MIP aimed to transmit ground images and kick up dust, which instruments in Chandrayaan-1 will analyze. ISRO: “A principal objective is to look for Helium 3, an isotope which is very rare on earth, but could be more plentiful on the moon and could power nuclear fusion, a valuable source of energy in the future.” India has joined Chinese and Japanese spacecraft also currently orbiting the moon in what is shaping up to be a 21st Century space race to build bases on the moon and to mine its minerals. The Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft was launched on October 22, 2008, from the Sriharikota Space Center in southern India.

i love the black and white photo of earth from the spacecraft, I wonder if they have fetched a colour camera with them.

Because India and NASA are working closely together, then the cover-up has already begun. NASA is the official agency charged with covering up extraterrestrial visitation and the international secret space program. The reason NASA is taking a direct interest in what India is doing is to keep the lid closed as tightly as possible on any ET information.

The paradigm of denial must be maintained. The secret space program that has been in operation for decades must be protected. The moon bases (both human and ET created) must not be revealed in any of the released photos, and they certainly don't want the public to know about any of this.

Other than that... India and NASA appear to be cooperating in a friendly manner. (As long as India plays by NASA's rules!)

Why what difference would it make if the supposed secret space program was exposed?

What difference would it make to you & me?

Take your camera and photograph the moon yourself, then lets see your stars.
