Maintenance Strategy and Its Importance in Rocket Launching System-An Indian Prospective
ISSN(Online) : 2319-8753 ISSN (Print) : 2347-6710 International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology (An ISO 3297: 2007 Certified Organization) Vol. 5, Issue 5, May 2016 Maintenance Strategy and its Importance in Rocket Launching System-An Indian Prospective N Gayathri1, Amit Suhane2 M. Tech Research Scholar, Mechanical Engineering, M.A.N.I.T, Bhopal, M.P. India Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering, M.A.N.I.T, Bhopal, M.P. India ABSTRACT: The present paper mainly describes the maintenance strategies followed at rocket launching system in India. A Launch pad is an above-ground platform from which a rocket or space vehicle is vertically launched. The potential for advanced rocket launch vehicles to meet the challenging , operational, and performance demands of space transportation in the early 21st century is examined. Space transportation requirements from recent studies underscoring the need for growth in capacity of an increasing diversity of space activities and the need for significant reductions in operational are reviewed. Maintenance strategies concepts based on moderate levels of evolutionary advanced technology are described. The vehicles provide a broad range of attractive concept alternatives with the potential to meet demanding operational and maintenance goals and the flexibility to satisfy a variety of vehicle architecture, mission, vehicle concept, and technology options. KEY WORDS: Preventive Maintenance, Rocket Launch Pad. I. INTRODUCTION A. ROCKET LAUNCH PAD A Launch pad is associate degree above-ground platform from that a rocket ballistic capsule is vertically launched. A launch advanced may be a facility which incorporates, and provides needed support for, one or a lot of launch pads. -

Daily Current Affairs 4 Novembere 2020
TH DAILY CURRENT AFFAIRS 4 NOVEMBERE 2020 GOVERNANCE ASER Survey 2020 Recently, the Annual State of Education Report (ASER) survey has been released which provides a glimpse into the levels of learning loss that students in rural India are suffering, with varying levels of access to technology, school and family resources resulting in a digital divide in education. This year, in the wake of the pandemic, the survey was conducted via phone calls, reaching 52,227 rural households with school-age children in 30 States and Union Territories (UTs). Annual Status of Education Report It is a nationwide survey of rural education and learning outcomes in terms of reading and arithmetic skills that has been conducted by the NGO Pratham for the last 15 years. It uses Census 2011 as the sampling frame and continues to be an important national source of information about children’s foundational skills across the country. ASER 2018 surveyed children in the age group of 3 to 16 years and included almost all rural districts in India and generated estimates of foundational reading and arithmetic abilities of children in the age group 5 to 16 years. ASER 2019 reported on the pre-schooling or schooling status of children in the age group 4 to 8 years in 26 rural districts, focused on the “early years” and laid emphasis on “developing problem-solving faculties and building a memory of children, and not content knowledge”. ASER 2020 is the first ever phone-based ASER survey and it was conducted in September 2020, the sixth month of national school closures. -

The nation’s capability to plan, integrate and carry out a satellite launch mission which is Climbing out of the Earth’s gravity well and transcending truly a multi-disciplinary technological challenge was the dense atmospheric shield is the most energy intensive proved on July 18, 1980 when India successfully orbited crucial first step in the journey into space and the Launch Rohini-1 satellite on SLV-3 E02 flight. Vehicles are the primary viable means of accomplishing this task. India acquired the capability to orbit a satellite While the sub-orbital sounding rockets which just carry in 1980, when SLV-3 the indigenously developed all the payload instruments upto a height of 100 to 200 solid launcher deployed the 40 kg Rohini satellite around kilometers have very few sub-systems apart from the earth. Tremendous progress has been made in this area propulsive device, a Satellite Launcher which has to in the last three decades and today, India is one among import a velocity of around 8 km/sec and precisely the leading space-faring nations with assured access to deliver the payload into a pre targeted injection vector in space through the work-horse operational launcher space has far more complex systems all of which have to PSLV, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. function flawlessly for a successful orbital mission. -
