This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Ichha Sharma.Today is the 30th of December and here are the headlines.In view of the statewide bandh called by two Punjab farmer unions, security has been amped up with several groups of farmers gathering at key locations on highways and railway stations at 6.30 am onwards. The bandh call was given in support of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal who has been holding a hunger strike for more than a month seeking the implementation of 13 farm demands. Over 150 trains, including Vande Bharat, were cancelled today and all educational institutes are to remain closed. However, emergency services will remain active across the state. The war of words over former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh's funeral intensified today, with the Congress saying that senior party leaders did not accompany his family “out of our deference to the privacy of the family”. This comes a day after Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri of the BJP said on Sunday that Congress leaders did not accompany Dr Singh's family when the ashes were immersed in the Yamuna river while BJP leaders were present. Dr Manmohan Singh passed away on Thursday at the age of 92. Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal announced his fifth promise today ahead of the Assembly polls in Delhi, the Pujari Granthi Samman Rashi Scheme, with an eye on Pandit and Sikh voters. Under this scheme, the AAP has promised that if the party returns to power, it will give Rs 18,000 per month to all pandits and pujaris working in temples and to granthis in gurdwaras across the city. The AAP has so far announced four welfare schemes targeting specific categories of voters, including women, Dalits and senior citizens. ISRO will demonstrate for the first time its ability to bring together and join two satellites in space today. The SpaDeX mission, which is the Space Docking Experiment, will launch at 10 pm today, as ISRO's workhorse PSLV rocket lifts off from the first launch pad of the Sriharikota spaceport. For the first time, an ISRO mission will carry a biological experiment. The CROPS experiment (Compact Research Module for Orbital Plant Studies) will see the germination of seed and sustenance of a plant up to a two-leaf stage. The fourth stage of the launch vehicle will be used later as a platform to carry out 24 experiments, including several by startups.The investigation into the Jeju Air plane crash that killed 179 at Muan International Airport in South Korea is underway. Initial findings show a malfunction in the landing gear, which a bird strike may have caused, could have led to the plane's belly landing. Experts have said that multiple factors could have resulted in the plane crash, among which are design flaws at the airport. Questions have been raised over the length of the runway at the airport. According to the official website, the runway is 2,800 m long. This is considerably shorter than runways at international air hubs.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express.
This is the Catch Up on 3 Things for the Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.It's the 30th of May and here are today's headlines.Addressing his final Lok Sabha election rally in Punjab's Hoshiarpur today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi compared the works of his government with the ideology of Guru Ravidas. He also attacked the INDIA bloc, particularly the Congress, for violating the Constitution during the Emergency and the 1984 riots against Sikhs. He also accused the Opposition of trying to divide the country based on religion through reservation. Punjab goes to polls on 1st of June in the final phase of the Lok Sabha elections.A Delhi court today issued notice to the ED on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's plea seeking regular bail in a case related to the alleged excise scam. The court directed the central agency to file its response by Saturday. The judge also sought ED's response on another plea of Kejriwal seeking seven-day extension of his interim bail on medical grounds, in case the regular bail petition is not allowed. Meanwhile, The Delhi government is set to hold an emergency meeting regarding the water crisis in the city amid a prevailing heatwave.Speaking of heat, he India Meteorological Department announced that southwest monsoon set in over Kerala today, two days ahead of its normal onset date of 1st of June. With this, the country's four-month-long chief monsoon season has commenced. The monsoon has also simultaneously commenced early in some parts of Northeastern India, where it usually arrives between June 2 and 5.Security has been stepped up in New York after terror group ISIS-K made a “global” threat year against the upcoming ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup match featuring India and Pakistan. According to a report by CNN, Nassau County Police Commissioner said the event first received an ISIS-K-linked threat in April which was followed by more specific threats on the India versus Pakistan game, scheduled for 9th of June. He added that the threats also had references to a viral video circulating online, which calls for “that lone wolf to act out.”Indian space startup Agnikul Cosmos today successfully launched its first sub-orbital test vehicle. It was powered by the world's first single-piece 3D-printed rocket engine, after calling off its launch at least four times previously. Agnibaan SOrTeD (Sub-Orbital Technology Demonstrator) lifted off this morning in a mission of many firsts. While it is the second launch by a private startup in India, it is the first to use a private launchpad that the company has set up at the country's only operational spaceport at Sriharikota.This was the Catch-Up on the 3 Things by The Indian Express.
El pasado 21 de octubre de 2023 a las 04:30 UTC la agencia espacial india, la ISRO, lanzó un cohete suborbital con un modelo de la cápsula tripulada Gaganyaan desde la rampa FLP (First Launch Pad) desde el Centro Espacial Satish Dhawan (isla de Sriharikota) para probar el sistema de escape en vuelo. La prueba, denominada TV-D1 (Test Vehicle Demonstration 1) tenía como objetivo comprobar el buen funcionamiento del sistema de escape CES (Crew Escape System), un sistema de emergencia que utiliza un diseño tradicional de torre de escape con cohetes de combustible sólido similar a las torres de escape de las naves Soyuz, Shenzhou u Orión. Una vez en vuelo, el CES con la cápsula CM (Crew Module) se activó a una altitud de unos 12 kilómetros y una velocidad supersónica de Mach 1,21. En el apogeo, a unos 17 kilómetros de altitud y una velocidad de 550 km/h, la cápsula CM se separó correctamente del CES e inició el descenso hacia el mar.
India's space agency has carried out the first in a series of tests flights ahead of its planned mission to take astronauts into space in 2025. The Gaganyaan spacecraft was launched at 10:00 local time (04:30GMT) on Saturday from Sriharikota. This was the day's second attempt - the first was put on hold five seconds before the scheduled launch time. The test was conducted to demonstrate whether the crew could safely escape the rocket in case it malfunctioned. "I am very happy to announce the successful accomplishment of the TV-D1 (Test Vehicle Demonstration 1) mission," S Somanath, chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro), said after the launch as his colleagues cheered and applauded.
Qualche giorno dopo il notevole successo della missione lunare dell'India, l'attenzione della nazione si sposta ora verso il sole. L'Organizzazione Indiana per la Ricerca Spaziale (ISRO) ha annunciato che il veicolo spaziale Aditya-L1 verrà lanciato il 2 settembre alle ore 11:50 (le 08:20 italiane) dallo spazioporto di Sriharikota.Questo show fa parte del network Spreaker Prime.

India yesterday launched its first observation mission to the Sun, just days after the country made history by becoming the first to land near the Moon's south pole. Aditya-L1 blasted off from the launch pad at Sriharikota and it will be located at a distance of 1.5 million km from the Earth, which is 1% of the Earth-Sun distance. India's space agency says it will take four months to travel the distance. If Aditya-L1 is successful, India will join the select group of countries that are already studying the Sun. The sun expedition comes 12 days after India's Chandrayaan-3 landed on the moon's south pole where it has already confirmed the presence of several elements including sulphur on the moon's surface as it continues searching for signs of frozen water after its historic landing. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Prof. Mike Kosch, Chief Scientist at the South African National Space Agency - SANSA.....
Seeing rockets go up in a billowing cloud of smoke from Sriharikota is more often than not, associated with success. It was not so, in the 1980s and 1990s. Scientists at ISRO struggled with many failures and had to face growing criticism from the press for nearly a decade. Unfazed by all this, today, ISRO can proudly stake claim to having built one of the most powerful satellite launch vehicles in the world - this powerhorse is called Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)Listen on to find what Dr.Kalam and other scientists at ISRO did, to keep the spirits up.Art credit: Sanskriti Mallik (Grade 8), BBPS -DwarkaSource credit for Adbul Kalam's speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4k2jHNNid8&t=1sSupport the showDo you like to read stories?

Nueva Delhi, 15 ago (Sputnik).- La sonda solar Aditya-L1 de la India llegó al único centro espacial del país, Satish Dhawan, ubicado en la sureña isla de Sriharikota, para su próximo lanzamiento, informó la Agencia India de Investigación Espacial (ISRO, por sus siglas en inglés). «Aditya-L1, el primer observatorio espacial indio para estudiar el Sol️, se está preparando para el lanzamiento. La sonda realizada en el Centro de Satélites UR Rao (URSC), Bengaluru, llegó a SDSC-SHAR, Sriharikota», publicó ISRO en su cuenta de la red social X (nuevo nombre de Twitter). La tarea de la misión será estudiar el astro solar desde una órbita ubicada en el primer punto de Lagrange-L1, a una distancia de aproximadamente 1,5 millones de kilómetros de nuestro planeta, donde las fuerzas de atracción gravitatoria de la Tierra y el Sol son iguales. Esa ubicación permitirá que Aditya-L1 observe constantemente el Sol, sin distraerse con los eclipses, así como permitirá a los científicos estudiar la actividad solar y su impacto en el clima espacial en tiempo real.
SRIHARIKOTA, India — Navigating the space around the Moon, India's Chandrayaan-3 mission is progressing smoothly on its path, with its ultimate goal being a historic landing on the lunar surface. The spacecraft, which was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on July 14, 2023, successfully entered lunar orbit and now awaits the crucial phases of approaching the Moon's surface. Chandrayaan-3's Current Position and Trajectory As of Friday, the spacecraft was approximately 1,437 kilometers (893 miles) from the Moon's surface. It has been guided with precision by ISRO, India's space agency, through a series of complex lunar-bound maneuvers, culminating in the Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) performed on August 5. The spacecraft is expected to reach a 100-kilometer (62-mile) orbit around the Moon by August 16. Subsequently, the Propulsion Module will separate, beginning the Lander's final descent sequence.
Welcome to the Astronomy Daily Podcast, hosted by Tim Gibbs with AI assistant, Hallie, providing the latest in astronomy news. 1. In Japan, the Epsilon S rocket engine experienced an explosion during testing. This follows the failure of two previous attempts to launch next-generation rockets and a 2019 moon landing failure. Despite these setbacks, Japan is planning to launch the Epsilon S rocket next year. 2. India's lunar exploration efforts resume with the planned launch of Chandrayaan-3. This sophisticated automated mission aims to demonstrate the rover's ability to navigate the lunar surface. The launch is expected to take place from the Satish Dhawan Space Center at Sriharikota in southern Andhra Pradesh state. The rover is equipped to analyse soil composition, measure soil temperature, and detect mini-moon quakes. 3. Australian astronomers have discovered the coldest star on record to produce radio emissions. This ultra-cool brown dwarf generates magnetic fields despite its low temperature, deepening our knowledge of star evolution. 4. The Australian government is axing a $1.2 billion national space mission for Earth observation. The decision has faced criticism, with calls for the government to reconsider and invest in science and astronomy. 5. China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation plans to create an expansive, remote sensing satellite network by 2030. This network aims to facilitate public services such as disaster prevention and relief, while also allowing real-time high-resolution observation of specific areas.

LVM3-M4 rocket carrying Chandrayaan-3 lifts off from Sriharikota, Traffic goes haywire as Yamuna floodwaters enter central Delhi, PM Modi participates in Bastille Day parade in France, India's tri-services marching contingent wows crowds and other top news bulletin here.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission, which is a lunar mission planned by the Indian Space Agency (ISRO) will be launched today at 2:35 pm from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. In this News Explained podcast, V Nivedita talks to M Ramesh, Associate Editor who provides details about the mission. Chandrayaan-3 refers to the spacecraft that will be sent to the moon as part of the larger project. The spacecraft consists of two main parts: the propulsion module and the lander rover module. The propulsion module's primary job is to transport the lander rover payload to the moon. Once in the moon's vicinity, the lander detaches from the propulsion module and descends gently onto the moon's surface. The rover, equipped with various instruments, will then crawl on the moon's surface and conduct experiments such as analyzing the moon's soil, studying subsurface heat conduction, and observing moon quakes. The distance between Earth and the moon requires large amounts of rocket fuel, making the rocket significantly bigger and more expensive. To overcome this challenge, Chandrayaan-3 takes a longer route that utilizes the Earth's gravity to sling itself towards the moon. This approach saves costs and makes the mission more feasible. The podcast further delves into the mission's trajectory, explaining how the spacecraft utilizes elliptical orbits and gravity assists to increase its velocity and reach the moon. The primary objective of Chandrayaan-3 is to demonstrate the ability to soft-land on the moon and operate a rover, says Ramesh. The experiments conducted by the rover and lander are secondary but include tasks like analyzing moon soil, studying subsurface heat conduction, and examining moon quakes. The lander and rover will transmit data via electromagnetic waves back to Earth, allowing scientists to analyze the results. The mission is budgeted at 650 crores and holds significance as it aims to explore the presence of ice in the southern polar region of the moon, which could potentially serve as a local resource for rocket fuel production. Successfully landing on the moon would make India the fourth country to achieve a soft landing, following the United States, Russia, and China.

Mission Prarambh saw Hyderabad-based Skyroot Aerospace launch Vikram-S, with ISRO support, from Sriharikota launch pad. Rocket flew to altitude of 81.5 km, before splashing in Bay of Bengal.
India's first privately developed rocket (Vikram-S) is undergoing final preparations at the ISRO's launchpad in Sriharikota, ahead of a launch likely as early as this weekend. The mission named ‘Prarambh' (beginning) was unveiled by ISRO Chairman, S. Somanath in Bengaluru on Nov. 7, after the technical launch clearance from the Space regulator IN-SPACe. The rocket is set to carry two payloads from India, and one from an overseas customer. And Facebook parent Meta Platforms is laying off 13 percent of its staff worldwide. Notes: Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg yesterday announced the company is laying off 11,000 employees, accounting for about 13 percent of its workforce, in a cost-cutting measure. This “last-resort” measure has become necessary because the prediction, at the beginning of Covid, that the accelerated shift to online would be permanent, has turned out to be wrong, Zuckerberg said in a blog post. “Not only has online commerce returned to prior trends, but the macroeconomic downturn, increased competition, and ads signal loss have caused our revenue to be much lower than I'd expected. I got this wrong, and I take responsibility for that,” he said. National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has announced the launch of the BHIM App open-source license model under which the source code of BHIM App will be licensed to regulated entities participating in the UPI ecosystem, who do not have a UPI app of their own, to help them launch their own UPI app, according to a press release. India's first privately developed rocket, Vikram-S, is poised to create history as it undergoes final launch preparations at the ISRO's launchpad in Sriharikota, ahead of a launch likely as early as this weekend. The mission named ‘Prarambh', meaning ‘the beginning', signifying a new era for the private space sector in India and the first mission for Skyroot Aerospace, was unveiled by ISRO Chairman, S. Somanath in Bangalore on November 7, 2022, after the technical launch clearance from the Space regulator IN-SPACe. A launch window between November 12 and 16 has been notified by authorities, the final date will be confirmed based on weather conditions, Skyroot said in a press release. “We could build and get our Vikram-S rocket mission-ready in such a short time only because of the invaluable support we received from ISRO and IN-SPACe,” and the technology talent the space tech venture has developed, co-founder and CEO, Pawan Kumar Chandana, said in the release. Skyroot's launch vehicles are named ‘Vikram' as a tribute to the founder of the Indian Space programme and renowned scientist Vikram Sarabhai. Naga Bharath Daka, COO and Co-Founder of Skyroot Aerospace said “The Vikram-S rocket getting launched is a single-stage sub-orbital launch vehicle which would carry three customer payloads and help test and validate the majority of the technologies in the Vikram series of space launch vehicles.” The rocket is carrying two Indian and one foreign payload, Press Trust of India reports. Spacekidz, a Chennai-based aerospace startup, will fly Fun-Sat, a 2.5 kg satellite developed by students from India, the US, Singapore and Indonesia on the sub-orbital flight onboard Vikram-S, according to PTI.

A version of this essay was published by chanakya forum at https://chanakyaforum.com/infrastructure-in-the-deep-peninsula-for-national-security-and-self-reliance/A Swarajya report https://swarajyamag.com/infrastructure/vo-chidambaranar-port-to-expand-with-rs-7200-crore-project-to-compete-with-colombo-and-singapore-as-transhipment-hub about V O Chidambaram port in Thoothukkudi (Tuticorin), TN, and its plans to expand into a container trans-shipment port was interesting. It reminded me of a plan I have mooted for some time (without success so far) about building up logistics infra, industrial capacity and defense capability in the deep south. Briefly, India’s much-desired success as a manufacturing and export power will be compromised unless there is good transportation infrastructure for both bulk cargo and for high-value, low-weight industrial goods. Today, India’s container cargo is highly dependent on Colombo, Singapore and Dubai for trans-shipment (that is, transferring cargo from the giant motherships to smaller ships). If I am not mistaken, 25% of India’s containers transit through Colombo alone.Colombo, in fact, depends on India for over 70% of its business. Their existing East Terminal is Chinese-controlled; the proposed West Terminal is apparently taken up by India’s Adani group on a BOT basis. Nevertheless, it is possible to imagine that at a point of geo-political stress, as with Sri Lanka’s troubles today, or if the Chinese decide to embargo Indian containers (as they did without notice for exports of rare-earths to Japan), Indian trade could be badly affected. Thanks for reading Shadow Warrior! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.The under-construction Vizhinjam port in Trivandrum, also controlled by Adani Ports, has a proposed capacity of 1.8 million TEUs in the first phase, and 5.3 million TEUs in the second phase. The proposed VOC container terminal at Thootthukkudi will have a capacity of 4 million TEUs. (A TEU or twenty-foot equivalent can be taken to be a single container for practical purposes).The right solution would be for these two ports to work in coordinated fashion, one on each side of the Peninsula, and not get into destructive competition. Image courtesy Swarajya Magazine.Road connectivity Image: Courtesy Google MapsRail connectivity (upto Tirunelveli), image courtesy Google MapsMy idea has been a railway line and an industrial corridor linking the two, which are roughly 200km apart by road. Both ports have their advantages, and together they can serve a significant hinterland, and the proposed developments between them can provide a measure of maritime security in an area that has been neglected so far, but will become increasingly critical.There are three aspects to it: connectivity, a focused industrial corridor, and security. Thank you for reading Shadow Warrior. This post is public so feel free to share it.Connectivity, shipping routes and trunk national rail and road linksVizhinjam has a multi-modal advantage: the port is only 15 km from a major international airport, Trivandrum, and both the port and the airport are controlled by Adani Ports, so that they could coordinate multi-modal shipment of goods, including at some point, inland waterway transport via National Waterway Three. Thoothukkudi airport is much smaller. But both are linked to the national trunk routes of the Golden Quadrilateral highways and railway lines passing through Tamil Nadu. So container traffic can be moved between the two with relatively little effort; also upcountry containers from/to Bangalore or Hyderabad or further inland can be moved with relative ease down to either of them without much trouble (the connectivity links for both to the trunk routes are either in place or are being built up).In terms of the shipping lanes in the Arabian Sea, Vizhinjam has the advantage, as it is only 10 nautical miles away from the main sea lanes. VOC is a bit of a diversion, and unless there is some incentive, very large container ships (12000+ TEU for instance) would hesitate to steam the additional nautical miles. Vizhinjam also has the advantage of draft (undredged 16m). However, the TN government is good at getting things done, so that’s Thoothukkudi’s advantage. Industrial corridorThere is a surprising industry that could well be the focus of this corridor: aerospace. There are Thumba and Valiyamala in Trivandrum where ISRO has major facilities, including the rocket-R&D facility named Liquid Propulsion Systems Center. There is Mahendragiri in TN’s Tirunelveli district where the rockets are tested at the ISRO Propulsion Complex. Finally the new launch pad is to come up in Kulasekharapattanam in Thoothukkudi dstrict, TN (as a supplement to Sriharikota). All these are within a stone’s throw of each other.The three could form the end nodes for a dedicated aerospace industry cluster. There is little room for manufacturing in congested Kerala (although the R&D can happen there), but it is possible to acquire large tracts of semi-arid land (this being a rain-shadow region, desalination plants may need to be set up) in Tamil Nadu. India must improve its aerospace industry, both defense and civilian.There was also talk of Airbus seeking a production facility abroad, but perhaps that opportunity has been lost. LPSC, Mahendragiri and Kulasekharapatnam of ISRO: Image courtesy Google MapsIndia has fallen behind in aerospace; even a developing country like Brazil has its Embraer, and there is no good reason India cannot have a thriving aircraft industry, perhaps in a niche, especially as civilian air traffic is expected to soar in coming years. In addition, Tejas and Dhruv have gained a measure of scale with induction into the armed forces, and Brahmos is even being exported (its production base is in Trivandrum now). This means an ecosystem of component suppliers has sprung up. There is no question that India needs to continue to develop its own defense systems, both aircraft and missile, as the possibility of damaging sanctions and technology denial has gone up. Atmanirbhar is key.Maritime defenseMost Indian defense installations have been designed with Pakistan in mind. Thus northwest India and the west coast have been the focus. However, the very real threat of Chinese intrusions into the Indian Ocean needs to be given much more focus now. The Chinese are showing every intent of dominating the Indian Ocean with both surface ships and submarines.China’s crown jewels (apart from its new aircraft carriers) are the contents of its submarine pen on Hainan island, near Vietnam’s Haiphong. There are increasing activities by submarines in India’s vicinity. India has little protection or early warning on its east coast. This is one of the reasons that there are new naval installations and long-range radars in the Andamans, which lie close to the mouth of the Straits of Malacca. It would be a good idea to set up an airbase with long-range radar in southern Tamil Nadu too, to keep an eye on what’s happening in the Bay of Bengal/Indian Ocean area. Besides, surveillance with Poseidon P8i type submarine hunter-killer aircraft could be useful. I remember when I worked in Mountain View, California, I could see from my office Orion P3i craft taking off and landing incessantly at Moffett Field. India does have important assets on its south-eastern seaboard. One example would be the Koodankulam nuclear plant. I suppose Kulasekharapatnam would also be a potential target for hostile forces. Sterlite would have been if only it hadn’t already been sabotaged. The deep south has not gotten its fair mind-share. It is time to change that, and in ways that will benefit the rest of the country through efficient trade networks, manufacturing clusters, and defense. 1200 words, 30 May 2022 This is a public episode.

India's space agency said it lost touch Saturday with its Vikram lunar lander as it made its final approach to the south pole of the moon to deploy a rover to search for signs of water.The fate of the lander — whether it crashed or landed — wasn't immediately known.The agency said the spacecraft's descent was normal until 2 kilometers from the lunar surface."Let us hope for the best," said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was at Mission Control in the southern city of Bengaluru.The space agency was analyzing data as it worked to determine what had happened."Communications from lander to ground station was lost," said K Sivan, chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation. "The data is being analysed."A successful landing would have made India just the fourth country to land a vessel on the lunar surface, and only the third nation to operate a robotic rover there.The roughly $140 million mission, known as Chandrayaan-2, was intended to study permanently shadowed moon craters that are thought to contain water deposits that were confirmed by the Chandrayaan-1 mission in 2008.Modi had traveled to the space center in Bengaluru to witness the planned landing in the early hours of Saturday and congratulate scientists who were part of the mission.The space agency's chairman had earlier called Chandrayaan-2 the "most complex mission ever" undertaken by the space agency.The mission lifted off on July 22 from the Satish Dhawan space centre, in Sriharikota, an island off the coast of the southern state of Andhra Pradesh.After its launch on July 22, Chandrayaan-2 spent several weeks making its way to the moon, ultimately entering lunar orbit on Aug 20.On Sept. 2, Vikram separated from the mission's orbiter, and the lander began a series of braking maneuvers to lower its orbit and ready itself for landing.Only three nations — the United States, the former Soviet Union and China — have landed spacecraft on the moon.Last January, China achieved the first landing on the far side of the moon. In April, an Israeli spacecraft attempting to land crashed moments before touchdown.

It's been 50 years since the human race first set foot on the Moon. And as the United States celebrates the historic Apollo 11 mission, India is hoping to achieve another space feat. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is attempting to soft-land a rover on the south pole of the Moon – something no other country has done before. The global commercial space industry is worth more than $300bn. India has developed a reputation for being a reliable launch pad for small satellites, but what more can India do to earn larger space revenues? And as India’s space sector slowly opens up to commercialisation, where do private space start-ups come in? Can India have its own version of SpaceX? We ask a young scientist who has developed satellites launched by both NASA and ISRO, a leading space entrepreneur with ventures in three different continents, and a researcher who specialises in India’s space programme whether India is on the right path to become a global space superpower.

India plans to join the exclusive group of countries that have successfully landed on the Moon following the launch of its Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft next month. Speaking in Bangalore on Wednesday, Indian Space Research Organization Chairman K. Sivan said that the spacecraft will launch from Sriharikota, an island off India's southeastern coast, on July 15. Chandrayaan-2 will carry a lunar lander dubbed "Vikram," or "valor," which is expected to make a soft landing on the Moon’s surface on Sept. 6. The lander will transport a robotic rover that will explore the lunar surface.

For more than 200 years Britain ruled India, bringing many aspects of British culture to India - including European science developed during the enlightenment. However centuries earlier India had already pioneered work in astronomy, mathematics and engineering. How was India’s scientific progress affected by colonialism? Did British rule hold the country back, or did it drive it forward? Presented by Angela Saini.

New observations indicate the unusually bright flash – which had been named ASASSN-15LH – and which was originally thought to be the brightest supernova ever seen -- was actually a tidal disruption event -- caused by a star being ripped to pieces after venturing too close to a monstrous black hole. *New search for Earth’s unseen companions NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission is about to begin a search for possible Earth Trojan asteroids. OSIRIS-Rex is on a two-year flight to rendezvous with the asteroid Bennu and it will be ideally positioned in February to undertake a survey of a region which often contains asteroids known as Trojans. *India caps off its biggest year so far in space flight India has launched a new Earth imaging satellite rounding off the subcontinent’s busiest year so far for space missions. The PSLV or Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle blasted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on Sriharikota island on the Bay of Bengal coast carrying Resourcesat-2a into orbit. *The December Solstice The December Solstice will occur at 21.44 Australian Eastern Daylight Time on Wednesday, December 21st as the Sun reached zenith appearing to be directly over the tropic of Capricorn. In the USA and the Northern Hemisphere, it’s the winter solstice marking the first day of winter -- but the good news is that from now on the days start to get longer again while south of the Equator summer has well and truly arrived and the day’s start getting shorter.

Pela primeira vez na história, o Brasil deverá enviar uma missão para a lua, desenvolvida por um consórcio de institutos de pesquisa brasileiros e empresas estrangeiras. A espaçonave deverá estar pronta até 2019 – quando a chegada do homem à Lua completará 50 anos. O projeto Garatéa-L foi apresentado no final de novembro na Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos, da USP (Universidade de São Paulo). O objetivo é enviar uma sonda que vai sobrevoar a órbita lunar para coletar dados e entender como organismos reagem dentro e fora do campo eletromagnético que protege a Terra da radiação solar, explica o engenheiro espacial Lucas Fonseca, da consultoria Airvantis. O engenheiro trabalhou na Agência Espacial Europeia, participou da missão com a sonda Rosetta, a primeira a pousar em um cometa, e está dirigindo a missão. Cinco “cubesats” serão enviados à órbita lunar, incluindo um nanossatélite brasileiro. A nave mãe será construída por uma empresa inglesa SSTL, que pertence à francesa Airbus, e na, lua, “distribuirá” os equipamentos na órbita desejada. A expectativa é que a espaçonave fique pronta em 2019, cerca de um ano antes do lançamento previsto, que ocorrerá na Índia, no Cosmódromo Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), em Sriharikota na região Andhra Pradesh. “Toda missão especial é guiada por um objetivo científico. Através de dois estudos instintos, estamos tentando fazer uma previsão de como ocorreu essa proliferação da vida no passado e como poderia ocorrer no futuro”, conta Lucas Fonseca. “Um desses experimentos chama-se Astrobiologia; em que trabalhamos com colônias de bactérias. É interessante fazê-lo na Lua, porque ela tem um balé orbital" muito interessante. Em torno dela existe um campo eletromagnético que protege da radiação solar e cósmica. Esse campo, por conta da ação do sol, gera uma cauda que vai além de Marte”, descreve o engenheiro espacial. Segundo ele, a Lua, que gira em torno da Terra, não está sempre protegida da radiação. “Queremos entender, colocando uma colônia de bactérias no local, o que acontece quando elas estão protegidas e desprotegidas pelo campo eletromagnético. Será que os danos causados quando estão desprotegidas podem ser revertidos e elas voltam a se proliferar em boas condições?”, questiona.“Queremos saber, se nos primórdios da Terra, como essas bactérias se proliferaram no espaço. Será que o início foi de fato na Terra?” Tecido humano Outro experimento inédito consiste em colocar tecido humano na sonda, provavelmente pele, para entender o efeito da radiação a longo prazo. “A exposição mais longa que tivemos em um lugar não protegido foi na própria Lua, na missão Apolo. Só que os astronautas da missão Apolo não passavam mais de 15 dias no espaço, por isso não temos um entendimento muito claro do que acontece com um ser vivo que não está protegido pelo campo eletromagnético da Terra. Queremos entender como o DNA é danificado”, diz. A análise dos elementos recolhidos deve começar cerca de um mês após o pouso. Financiamento O projeto é subsidiado pelo governo brasileiro mas precisa de investimento da iniciativa privada para ser concluído. Ele está orçado em cerca de R$ 30 milhões. “A parte mais custosa é a carona até a Lua. Achamos maneiras de reduzir o custo. A missão mais barata até hoje foi uma indiana, que custou U$ 55 milhões”, diz. Galatéa-L é custa cinco vezes mesmo e está orçada em apenas US$ 11 milhões. “O preço é bem reduzido mesmo.”

Located about 80km from Chennai on India's east coast, Satish Dhawan Space centre is used by ISRO to launch all of its satellites including those to the Moon and Mars. Also known as Sriharikota, it was established during the late 1960s but today it has a vehicle assembly building, two launch pads and a state of the art mission control centre The post Episode 72: Satish Dhawan Space Centre appeared first on AstrotalkUK.
On the island of Sriharikota, 150 kilometres north of Chennai, India has based its launch centre SHAR, the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, named after the research scientist and former president of the ISRO, the Indian Space Research Organisation. At SHAR two launch pads have been built for the two rockets developed by India: the PSLV, a 4-stage launch vehicle using liquid and solid propulsion and able to launch one-tonne craft into geostationary transfer orbit and the GSLV, a 2-tonne capacity launcher for geostationary transfer orbit. PSLV has the performance level required to launch Chandrayaan-1 on its way to the moon. Sriharikota is like a real town. About 2000 employees are living on the island with their families.ESApod video programme
The first venture between India and Europe took place in the 1980s. In 1981, Europe's Ariane 3 rocket launched into space India's first geostationary satellite Apple. The cooperation continues today with India's lunar mission Chandrayaan-1. India's INSAT satellites were also designed for weather forecasting and Earth observation. Thirteen of them lifted-off with Europe's Ariane launchers. Today India has developed its own launchers at its Sriharikota base in the Bay of Bengal and is about to enter a new stage with its first lunar mission Chandrayaan-1. The large antenna designed by the Indian Space Agency and specially installed outside Bangalore to monitor the Chandrayaan-1 mission forms part of India's deep space network and is a good illustration of India's desire to play a role in the conquest of space and to offer its services to other countries. India is also interested in other forms of cooperation that go beyond lunar discovery and astronomical missions.ESApod video programme
