2NC – AT Previous Rocket Explosions

Not a reason the CP can’t solve -- failures not unique to India, and proves ISRO is capable of innovation.

India space program successful despite single launch vehicle failure.

BBC, 4-20-2011 (“India successfully launches three satellites into space” http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-13141562)

India has successfully launched a rocket into space carrying three satellites, officials say. The trouble-free launch was in contrast to a major setback in December when a satellite launch vehicle blew up and fell into the Bay of Bengal. The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) had a smooth lift-off and deployed the satellites in orbit around 820km (500 miles) above Earth. Staff at the launch pad in Andhra Pradesh cheered as the rocket took off. The main satellite in the launch from the Sriharikota space centre was the remote-sensing Resourcesat-2, which will study the impact of humans on the earth's natural resources. The rocket also carried a joint Indian and Russian satellite for stellar and atmospheric studies as well as an imaging orbiter built by the Singapore-based Nanyang Technological University. Correspondents say the jubilation among technicians and scientists which greeted Wednesday's launch was starkly in contrast to events in December - when a satellite launch vehicle blew up and fell into the Bay of Bengal live on television after it veered from its intended flight path. It was the second consecutive failure to launch the rocket, which had been carrying a communications satellite. Lunar return India is hoping to send its first manned flight into space in 2016 and first made a bid for a share of the lucrative commercial satellite-launch market by sending up an Italian orbiter in 2007. The country sees its space exploration programme as an achievement that emphasizes its emergence as a major world economy, and correspondents say that many Indians take patriotic pride in its development. Delhi and Beijing's Moon missions have gained fresh impetus since last year's Nasa budget cuts, which dashed US hopes of a lunar return by 2020 - more than half a century after the Americans' first visit. India has been playing catch-up on China in the race, a less shrill replay of the one between America and the USSR in the 1960s. It became the fourth country to plant its colours on the Moon - after America, Russia and Japan - thanks to the success of its Chandrayaan (Sanskrit for "moon craft") probe.
Tremendous success from recent satellite launch proves India can do the plan despite pervious launch difficulties

Clark, 4-20-2011 (Stephen, correspondent for Spaceflight Now, “Indian rocket reaches space with observation satellite”, April 20, http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n1104/20pslv/)

Achieving a booming success after two rocket failures last year, India deployed three satellites in orbit early Wednesday with the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, a workhorse 14-story booster that racked up its 17th straight successful mission. The rocket blasted off at 0442 GMT (12:42 a.m. EDT) Wednesday from the Satish Dhawan Space Center on Sriharikota Island on India's east coast, where it was 10:12 a.m. local time. The PSLV thundered into a mostly sunny sky, soaring southeast from the launch site before turning nearly due south to reach a polar sun-synchronous orbit about 511 miles above Earth. Producing a combined thrust of 1.9 million pounds, the launcher's six strap-on boosters and solid-fueled first stage powered the PSLV to an altitude of more than 40 miles in less than two minutes, then a hydrazine-fueled second stage took over to accelerate the rocket to nearly 9,000 mph.
ISRO is back on track – new satellite launches and ambitious moon goals prove

China Daily, 4-21-2011 (“India launches three satellites on single rocket”, April 21, http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2011-04/21/content_12366230.htm)

BANGALORE, India - India launched a rocket carrying three satellites into orbit on Wednesday in its latest effort to gain a share of the global commercial space market. The main satellite in the launch from the Sriharikota space center in Andhra Pradesh was the remote-sensing Resourcesat-2, which will study the effect of human life on the Earth's natural resources. The rocket also carried an Indo-Russian satellite for stellar and atmospheric studies and an imaging orbiter built by the Singapore-based Nanyang Technological University. "The Resourcesat-2 mission is successful," Indian Space Research Organization Chairman K. Radhakrishnan announced after all three satellites were released by the rocket 822 kilometers above the Earth. The successful mission was a relief for India's space program, which suffered a major setback in December when a satellite launch vehicle blew up and fell into the Bay of Bengal live on television after it veered from its intended flight path. India, which aims to send its first manned flight into space in 2016, first staked a claim for a share of the lucrative commercial satellite-launch market by sending up an Italian orbiter in 2007. The country sees its space exploration program as an achievement that underlines its emergence as a major world economy, and many Indians take pride in its development.
