राकेट राकेट. Rocket Science.

The events surrounding Chandrayaan-2’s landing attempt captured India’s imagination earlier this month. This also gave us a reason to talk about Space on Puliyabaazi again. In our previous episode on space, we discussed the story of ISRO. In this episode, we explore the world of rocketry — the enabling technology for space exploration. Joining us in this conversation is Divyanshu Poddar, co-founder of Rocketeers — India’s first solid fuel-powered model rocket kit manufacturer. Some themes that came up during our conversation: What is the economics of rockets? What is qualitatively different about a rocket that takes us to Low-earth orbit, Geostationary orbit, Moon, and Mars What is the economic potential of space? What has changed now that startups can do rockets instead of nation-states? अंतरिक्ष में अनुसंधान का नाम लेते ही ISRO का ही नाम ध्यान में आता है लेकिन भारत में अब कई कंपनिया उपग्रह, रॉकेट, इमेजिंग इत्यादि पर उम्दा काम कर रही हैं | तो इस बार हमने बात की उनमें से एक कंपनी रॉकेटियर्स के दिव्यांशु पोद्दार से, रॉकेट जगत के बारे में | रॉकेट कैसे बनाए जाते हैं?, किस प्रकार के होते हैं?, रॉकेट टेक्नोलॉजी का भविष्य क्या है? - अगर आप इन सवाल में रूचि रखते हैं तो यह एपिसोड ज़रूर सुने | Puliyabaazi is on these platforms: Twitter: https://twitter.com/puliyabaazi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/puliyabaazi Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/puliyabaazi/ Subscribe & listen to the podcast on iTunes, Google Podcasts, Castbox, AudioBoom, YouTube or any other podcast app.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
