VIDEO: Dr. V Adimurthy's Presentation at IAC-200

I have posted the much awaited video of Dr. Adimurthy's presentation at IAC-2009. The video also contains presentations from other space agency representatives and Dr. Adimurthy's presentation starts at something like 16 minutes. He outlines India's future space programs including HSF and robotic missions to Venus, Mars and asteroids. It's a short presentation but a very informative one for all those space fans out there.

This Human Space Flight Concept was presented the associate director of Vikram Sarabhai Space Center, Dr. V Adimurthy, at International Astronautical Congress in Daejeon, Korea on 15 October. The picture clearly shows the 4 ton crew capsule design that will propel India into a group of 4 nations with the capability of independent human Spaceflight. It also shows the Crew Launch Escape System (CLES) , which will propel the crew to safety in case of anomolies in launch vehicle functioning. Dr. Adimurthy explained that ISRO is confident of realizing the 7 year timeline that has been sought to develop the required technologies.
