Next gen Space Situational Awareness

DRDO's IRDE is developing an ultra-wide field telescope array for tracking objects in orbit, with an industry partner building the optics under IRDE's design review.

▶️ Each system pairs four 250 mm off-axis reflective telescopes, f/1.64 with a field of view of at least 12 degrees and a dichroic split between visible-NIR and SWIR, with two 50 mm refractive telescopes covering 48 degrees or more.

▶️One prototype and one functional unit are planned, with delivery at 18 and 24 months from contract. A 250 mm aperture at f/1.64 across a 12 degree flat field is a demanding optical design, and it points to India building its own wide-area search layer for space surveillance.

There is no hiding now opposition wants anarchy snd they are openly saying it.

Sanjay Raut openly accepts that they are planning regime change and Rahul Gandhi has went Vietnam to plan it and after his return they will change the regime.

“Regime change will happen… Rahul Gandhi has gone to Vietnam. Let him return, it will happen!”

What exactly is Rahul Gandhi doing in Vietnam that Sanjay Raut is linking his return to regime change?

Swapping out political leaders through a standard democratic election is a change in government, not a regime change.

A regime change refers to the removal of underlying system, constitution, laws, and foundational institutions that determine how power is held and exercised.
