    Because of the politics and all that stuff that was covered, the ISRO mission was overshadowed, but it doesn't really matter now as the mission is a grand success!

      It's a matter of personal pride for me, and my company as well, and in specific my R&D team led a developmental project for ISRO and there are some of our composite components on the orbiter.

      Congratulations to ISRO, MoS, and of course all of us.

          This is truly an epic achievement for our country. A moon mission is an exercise of immense proportions and complexity. Carrying it out with clock-work precision as has been done by the Chandrayan team is awe-inspiring.

          Good to know that @rossiter. Would love to know more in detail. I mean the kind of composites and where and how they've been used on the orbiter.

                Images from Chandrayaan:

                1.) Earth from Chandrayaan



                2.)This is the picture of moon's surface taken from lunar orbit by Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft's Terrain Mapping Camera (TMC) on November 15, 2008. Taken over the polar region of the moon, the picture shows many large and numerous small craters. The bright terrain on the lower left is the rim of 117 km wide Moretus crater.

                  Wow!!! Congrats Rossiter and team... U cud have come out with this info a bit earlier atleast for getting our accolades...

                    Congratulations to all of us, specially Rossiter. Now are you contemplating riding your R1 on the moon, maybe someday in the future?

                        Thanks everyone. These need to be conveyed to the people who actually made this possible. We were but a small speck in the whole project

                        Probably I could filch some of the propellant from the orbiter and use it instead of Speed 97

                        OF, quite straightforward actually. It's a carbon fibre composite mainly used as a load/impact bearing member. In short it's a reinforcing member, and it was also used in the damping system for the X band antenna.

                          So the composite material was used on the MIP (Moon Impact Probe)..?

                            Great! Just curious: The need for carbon -fibre> was is just for the superior strength/weight ratio over metal alloys or because of its proximity to the x-band antenna (as the frequencies are in the micro-wave region and well....metals and microwave energy have no love lost between them).

                              I want to highlight a totally different view.

                              When the first spacecraft and man went to the moon,it was all American. And it spawned a series of science fiction films from Hollywood.Should i mention Star Wars?

                              Now since its our time for a space odyssey, lets hope we get to see some good science fiction being created big time.

                              Congratulations and best of luck to ISRO!

                                and the good news is that we might soon be able to travel on Hydrogen fuel based buses, thanks to tie-up between ISRO and TATA.

                                Imagine a tap in the bus itself to supply free water, solves the water problems also
