CP Solves – Lunar ExplorationIndia solves lunar exploration -- finding water on the Moon proves.Einhorn ’09 - Asia regional editor in Bloomberg Businessweek's Hong Kong bureau, previously the Asia technology correspondent (9/25/09, Bruce Einhorn, Bloomberg Business Week, A Win for India’s Space Program, http://www.businessweek.com/blogs/eyeonasia/archives/2009/09/a_win_for_indias_space_program.html) There was some embarrassment in India after the untimely end of the country’s first mission to the Moon last month. The unmanned Chandrayaan-I spacecraft, which was supposed to last for two years, fell out of radio contact while in orbit around the Moon in late August, just ten months after its launch. That prompted some defensiveness from a fansite of the Indian Space Research Organization, which quickly played damage control by claiming the mission had accomplished much of its goals. Chandrayaan-I.com said in a statement that it’s “not unusual” for things to go wrong in space. “NASA has faced several space mission failures and who can forget tragic end of space shuttle Columbia and the crew perished during entry, 16 minutes prior to landing.” * In other words, yes, our space mission crashed – but at least nobody died! Now, though, ISRO fans don’t have to resort to poor-taste defensiveness. Indeed, Indians can crow that their nascent space program, through its short-lived Chandrayaan-I, has helped make one of the most important discoveries in the history of human exploration of the Moon. A NASA probe aboard the Chandrayaan-I detected water on the Moon’s surface, and the Indian press is euphoric. “One Big Step for India, One Giant Leap for Mankind,” crowed the Times of India. “If it weren’t for them (ISRO), we wouldn’t have been able to make this discovery,” the paper quoted Carle Pieters, the Brown University researcher who analyzed the data from the NASA probe, saying. Unfortunately for ISRO, the agency won’t be able to capitalize quickly on the discovery. The next Indian space mission, the Chandrayaan-2 isn’t scheduled to launch until 2013. That means India would be behind China in a 21st-century Asian version of the U.S.-Soviet Union space race. The Chinese ended their first lunar mission earlier this year after 16 months and plan on landing a craft on the Moon in 2012. Japan’s in the race, too, having just completed its first lunar mission. In this Asian race, the Chinese seem to have the edge, but for now the engineers in India’s program can boast that their first mission turned out pretty well after all. CP Solves – Lunar MiningIndia solves He-3 mining -- has the capabilities and motivation.Williams 7 – Contributing writer to the Technology Review, Mark, “India's Space Ambitions Soar”, Technology Review, 7/30/07, http://www.technologyreview.com/Infotech/19115/?a=f ** Quoting Kalam, then President of India Kalam told the international audience of space experts in Boston that, besides expanding its extensive satellite program, India now plans lunar missions and a reusable launch vehicle (RLV) that takes an innovative approach using a scramjet "hyperplane." Kalam said that India understands that global civilization will deplete earthly fossil fuels in the 21st century. Hence, he said, a "space industrial revolution" will be necessary to exploit the high frontier's resources. Kalam predicted that India will construct giant solar collectors in orbit and on the moon, and will mine helium-3--an incredibly rare fuel on Earth, but one whose unique atomic structure makes power generation from nuclear fusion potentially feasible--from the lunar surface. India's scramjet RLV, Kalam asserted, will provide the "low-cost, fully reusable space transportation" that has previously "denied mankind the benefit of space solar-power stations in geostationary and other orbits." India will have the capabilities quickly -- within the decade. Mishra 10 – Amit Kumar, “ India has joined the race for Mining the Moon”, 12/11/10, http://mishraamit.wordpress.com/2010/12/11/india-has-joined-the-race-for-mining-the-moon/ The huge availability of Helium 3 in the moon can be a source to solve future energy needs of earth, Former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman G Madhavan Nair said. Speaking on Moon Mission at the three-day Global Conference on Cosmologies, which began at the National Institute of Advanced Studies here, Dr Nair said, ”If we can excavate, release and bring it to the earth, it will be a fantastic contribution by the Indian space sector.” He said in next 10-15 years India could have robotic excavations that can get helium on the Moon,” he said. (He-3) is a light, non-radioactive isotope of Helium with two protons and one neutron. It is rare on Earth, and is sought for use in nuclear fusion research. Referring to detection of Helium-3 on the moon’s surface during India’s Moon Mission Programme, he said, ”Helium-3 was indirect finding.” India has the necessary tech and capabilities -- solves the aff. The Times 8 – (“India Over the Moon”, The Times, 10/23/08, Lexis Nexis) Indian pride is rising almost as fast as the Chandrayaan-1 Moon rocket that yesterday blasted off from southern India to begin two years of lunar studies and establish India's place in the forefront of the Asian space race. The launch was greeted with patriotic enthusiasm across the country, as scientists hailed the unmanned mission as a landmark for the nation's high- technology industries, and politicians spoke of India's emerging global importance (see page 35). Few questioned the cost, despite the vast sums still needed to lift hundreds of millions out of poverty. Even the poor expressed joy at an achievement remarkable for a country that was regularly swept by famine only 60 years ago. The space operation is ostensibly about mapping the Moon's surface, looking for helium-3 and broadening India's commercial space programme. In fact, as politicians and the public understand, it is more about responding to China's first space walk last month and the unmanned probes launched by both China and Japan last year. This has been a good week for India. Two days ago a crossing point over the line of control in Kashmir was opened for the first time to allow Indian and Pakistani lorries to carry fruit, vegetables and other exports between the two halves of the divided state that have been shut off from each other for six decades. The symbolic traffic over the Peace Bridge was agreed during talks between the Indian Prime Minister and the Pakistani President at the United Nations. It is intended to demonstrate to both countries that, despite the political turbulence in Pakistan and Indian accusations that Pakistan was responsible for the bombing of the Indian Embassy in Kabul, the rapprochement between the two countries is still on track. Reopening of the trade route has been a main demand of Kashmiri separatists. It will do much to calm renewed tensions in Indian Kashmir before elections there later in the year. Back on Earth, another Indian has just won the Man Booker Prize. Aravind Adiga, a 33-year-old Oxford-educated writer, beat another Indian shortlisted contender, Amitav Ghosh, and is the fourth Indian-born writer to win the prize since it was established in 1969. But his novel, The White Tiger, is itself a play on the competition between India and China, and takes a bitter look at the hollowness behind the boasts of "India shining" - a crass slogan that probably cost the nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party the last general election. The space launch may deflect attention temporarily from the problems that Adiga chronicles, but the gap between India's vaunted democracy and the realities of daily life are pitilessly exposed, as the Government itself has found. Manmohan Singh, the Prime Minister, won a coup in securing his cherished nuclear deal with Washington, but otherwise little has gone his way: the economy has slowed, the quarrels within his coalition have sharpened and reformers are disappointed that changes they see as essential to further development have stalled. Nevertheless, the Moon shot underlines a point also made by the global downturn: that India, which surely deserves a permanent Secur-ity Council seat, is a power not to be ignored. For millions of Indians that point was joyously made by India's one really important achievement: victory over Australia in the second Test, with the bonus of Sachin Tendulkar racking up more runs than anyone else in Test match history. India solves the case. Ford 7 – Staff Writer for Christian Science Monitor (Peter, “What's behind Asia's moon race?”, Lexis Nexis, 10/25/07) China, Japan, and India are all focusing on the moon, says Dr. Kulacki, because it is "close, doable" and a logical first step in interplanetary exploration. Some officials see practical rewards beyond the scientific knowledge to be gleaned by mapping and analyzing the lunar surface. The moon is thought to be rich in Helium-3, for example, which could one day be used for nuclear fusion to create energy. India's Chandrayaan probe will search for Helium-3, the head of India's space research organization said last year. China's Chang'e I orbiter will also sniff for it. "Mineral resources and energy ... will be a very important field that humans will compete for," Mr. Ouyang told the People's Daily. India has lunar exploration capabilities. The Hindu 7 - “Indian will be put in space by 2015: ISRO Chairman”, 8/4/07 http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/001200708040360.htm Nagpur, Aug. 4 (PTI): India will be able to send its astronaut into space by 2015 and embark on a lunar mission after 2020, noted space scientist and Chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Madhavan Nair, said Friday. "India will be launching its satellite 'Chandrayan' by mid next year for carrying out scientific experiments on the moon," Nair told reporters after inaugurating an information and communication technology gallery at the Raman Science centre here. The satellite with a payload of 560 kg will carry various instruments to study the surface of moon, Nair said adding, the satellite will be launched by PSLV sometime around August next year. It will orbit near the moon and take visuals and photographs to study the real colour of the surface. It will remain for two years and this will be first of its kind experiment by ISRO as a part of India's lunar mission.
