Was Chandrayaan-2 REALLY Cyber Attacked? | Space Cybersecurity, Rocket Science Failures

▶ Full Episode: Pakistan OUTPLAYED INDIA - Indian Scientists Responded With Rockets NOT Missiles | APJ Abdul Kalam    • Pakistan OUTPLAYED INDIA - Indian Scientis...   Subscribe to Tarun Bindlish Clips:    / @tarunbindlish_clips   Full episodes on the Main Channel:    / @tarunbindlish   India asked Russia for cryogenic engine technology in the early 1990s and was denied under international missile-control pressure, with only a handful of ready-made engines offered instead. Group Captain Ajay Lele (Retd.) explains how that refusal pushed ISRO to build the technology itself, and how the project director who led it, Nambi Narayanan, was then trapped in a false espionage case that the CBI later dismissed. He also answers a question many viewers ask: were ISRO's failures sabotage or cyber attacks? Context: Why India needed a cryogenic engine at all comes down to orbits. Rockets of the PSLV class reach up to roughly 2,000 km, but a geostationary satellite sits about 36,000 km above the surface. The first GSLV with an indigenous cryogenic stage flew in 2010 and failed, and the technology matured over the following decade. Lele says the PSLV failures and the Chandrayaan-2 landing failure were scientific failures with no evidence of cyber interference, and points to Chandrayaan-3's success as the lesson applied. The clip then turns to defence. After 26/11, India imported synthetic aperture radar technology from Israel for all-weather, day-and-night imagery, and ISRO has since developed its own. Lele also walks through the four kinds of satellites the 1991 Gulf War showed every military needs: intelligence, weather, communication and navigation. He covers India's GSAT-7 "Rukmini" for the Navy, satellites for the Air Force and Army, and the state of NavIC. Almost 80 percent of ISRO's satellite use is civilian, with defence a dual-use layer on top. About the Guest — Group Captain Ajay Lele (Retd.)
