Chandrayaan-2 launch delayed to April-end, says Isro chief

ISRO主席称，“月船2号”的发射推迟到4月底

BENGALURU: After missing several targets, Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) on Friday confirmed that Chandrayaan-2, the country's second mission to the moon, would not be launched before the end of April. Isro had planned to launch Chandrayaan-2 in the first available window (January and February) this year.

班加罗尔:印度空间研究组织(Isro)上周五证实，印度第二次探月任务“月船2号”的发射将推迟到4月底。Isro原本计划在今年1月和2月的首个可用窗口发射“月船2号”。

Isro chairman Sivan K said, "We could not complete a few tests. Now we are looking at a March-April window." If Isro misses this window, the mission would be pushed to June, he added. While the new configuration of the lander had caused some delay, Isro was also engaged in multiple launches in the second half of 2018, which affected work on the moon mission.

Isro主席Sivan K说:“我们无法完成一些测试。现在我们看好3 - 4月的发射窗口，如果Isro错过了这次机会，任务将推迟到6月。虽然着陆器的新配置造成了一些延迟，但Isro在2018年下半年也进行了多次其他发射任务，这也影响了登月任务的进展。”

On the telecom department's requests for satellites, including resources to allow operators to provide in-flight call services, Sivan said: "We already have GSAT-29, GSAT-11 and GSAT-20 among other satellites, which will complete the Digital India programme by enhancing internet speed. These can also be used for in-flight calls. Talks are on."

关于印度电信部门对卫星的需求，包括允许运营商提供空中呼叫服务的资源，Sivan说:“我们已经有了GSAT-29、GSAT-11和GSAT-20等卫星，它们将通过提高互联网速度来完成“数字印度”计划，也可以用于飞行途中的通话。”

Sivan said Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and L&T would lead a consortium that would build the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), which has been Isro's workhorse for years. He also said the consortium would build GSLV class rockets.

Sivan表示，印度斯坦航空有限公司和L&T将牵头一个财团，建造极轨卫星运载火箭(PSLV)，该运载火箭多年来一直是Isro的主力。他还表示，该财团将建造GSLV级火箭。

He said that of the Rs 30,000 crore sanctioned by the government for various programmes - including Rs 10,000 crore for Gaganyaan - 80% would go to the private sector.

他表示，在政府为各种项目批准的3000亿卢比中(含Gaganyaan任务的1000亿卢比)，80%将流向私营部门。

Sivan listed launches and projects lined up for 2019 apart from Gaganyaan. Among them are key tests of the Re-usable Launch Vehicle, a PSLV launch that will test a new technology on its fourth stage and GSAT-20, planned for October-September.

Sivan列出了除Gaganyaan任务之外2019年的发射任务和项目，其中包括可重复使用运载火箭的关键测试，将在第四阶段测试一项新技术的PSLV发射，以及计划于9月至10月发射的GSAT-20。

After saying everything is fully ready for launch, sudden cancellation and then pushing to April saying there are many tests pending is nothing but a political step!. I am sure this is only to help BJP!.

在宣布一切准备就绪后，突然取消发射计划，并将发射日期推迟到4月，理由是还有许多测试要做，这不过是政治需要，我相信这只是为了帮助印度人民党!

ISRO should just tank the project. In view of ''s low key but highly successful lunar landing, Indians already lost their chances of bragging rights. Even if India lands on the Moon, it would be meaningless.

ISRO应该搁置这个项目。鉴于低调但非常成功的登月计划，印度人已经失去了吹嘘的机会。即使印度登上月球，那也毫无意义。

This is very normal in space industry. Launches can be postponed until everything is perfectly examined and tested. It take more effort than one can think of. One glitch and the entire mission can fail, so no problem with the delay.

这在航天工业中是很正常的。发射可以推迟到一切都经过完美的检查和测试之后。这项任务需要的精力超乎想象，一个小故障都可能导致整个任务失败，所以延迟也不要紧。

After 60 years of Congress destruction of India, there is a change for the better now, despite having to make up for the past and move forward. A very good decision, to ensure everything is in a workable condition and function accordingly. Check and double check, cancel launch date , if something is out of the ordinary.

在国大党摧残印度60年之后，现在有了好转了，必须弥补过去的损失并向前迈进。这个决定好，反复检查，确保一切正常，达到满意的条件在进行发射，如果有什么异常就取消。

Solid infrastructure is needed to prepare for a successful manned mission launch, which ISRO currently lacks the expertise. They were also looking to Russia and USA to train the astronauts as a cost effective way. Point to note here is how Russia and USA institutes will agree for such training when they have ZERO benefit out of this mission.

为载人航天任务的成功发射做准备，需要坚实的基础设施，而ISRO目前缺乏这方面的专业知识。他们还希望俄罗斯和美国帮助训练宇航员。这里要注意的是，俄罗斯和美国的研究机构要是不能得到任何好处，它们怎会同意帮你们培训。
