Sriharikota: India’s Moon mission


Less than an hour ago India launched its moon mission. If it succeeds then India will be fourth nation after the US and China to have its own research on the moon. Prior to this India had sent Chandrayan-1 and Chandrayan-2. The first one was to orbit around the moon and Chandrayan-2 was to soft land on the moon surface, but that did not happen with problem with the Lander and the final stage of exiting the robot from the Lander did not happen. This time India expects it to do successfully for a soft landing and then the robot coming out from the Lander and helping in doing experiments surface of the moon from ISRO stations on earth.

That moment of entering the fourth stage was a big moment of pride and joy to everyone who were involved from the development of the launcher to the robot that would be sending communication to earth. Sixty years before Vikram Sarabhai had dreamt of exploring the space on its own and it has once again been realized.

Before ISRO starts receiving communications from the moon surface and be able to conduct experiments we have to wait for another two more stages to happen successfully, first soft landing and the second and final stage of robot hatching from the Lander which is supported by an additional propulsion jet to propel the robot from the Lander.

The stage was set for her to remind everyone why she was the candidate for all people, but she failed to deliver a message that would resonate on that larger stage. Rather than focusing on a forward-thinking vision, Harris spent much of her time reflecting on the negatives, particularly issues of racism, ...

Dear Team, As we progress further into 2024, it’s imperative that we critically assess our campaign strategies and leadership dynamics. President Biden, with his extensive experience and long-standing commitment to public service, has undeniably contributed significantly to our nation. However, there is growing sentiment that his approach and perspectives may not fully align with the rapidly evolving political landscape and the diverse needs of contemporary American society. Firstly, the modern electorate, particularly younger voters, is increasingly driven by issues such as climate change, technological innovation, and social justice reforms. These areas demand not only visionary policies but also a profound understanding of the digital age and its associated challenges. While President Biden has made commendable strides in these domains, there is a perception that his methods and pace may not resonate with the urgency and innovative spirit that these issues require. Secondly, the pol...
