None of the above A Chandrayaan-1 was India’s first mission to the moon. The name Chandrayaan means “Chandra- Moon, Yaan-vehicle”, –in Indian languages (Sanskrit and Hindi), – the lunar spacecraft. Chandrayaan-1 was launched by India’s Polar Satellite launch Vehicle, PSLV-C11 on October 22, 2008 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR, Sriharikota, India. The spacecraft made more than 3400 orbits around the moon. Chandrayaan-1 was operational for 312 days till August 29, 2009. There were eleven scientific instruments onboard Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft. Five of them were Indian and other six were from ESA (3), NASA (2) and Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (1) selected through ISRO Announcement of Opportunity (AO). Two of the ESA instruments had Indian collaboration. Chandrayaan-1 conclusively discovered traces of water on the moon. This was a pathbreaking discovery. Chandrayaan-1 also discovered water ice in the North polar region of the Moon. It also detected Magnesium, Aluminium and Silicon on the lunar surface. Global imaging of the moon is another achievement of this mission. The moon undergoes extremes in temperature - the side of the Moon receiving sunlight becomes scorching hot at about 130 ºC, and freezing cold at -180 ºC during night. The average distance between the Earth and Moon is 3,84,000 km. The moon’s diameter is about 3,476 km, which is about one fourth (1/4th) of Earth. The mass of the Moon is only 1/81 of the mass of Earth. The gravity on the surface of the Moon is only 1/6th of that on Earth.

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.

Sullurpet is the nearest railway station which is 18 km from Sriharikota Island and it is on Chennai-Kolkata trunk line and 90 Km away from North of Chennai. An aboriginal tribe called Yanadi dwells in Sriharikota. It is similar to Chenchu community elsewhere in Andhra Pradesh. Inspite of the community being drifted from their natural way of life due to agro-rural development activities, a few aged tribal men are still able to furnish traditional ethno-medicinal data. So far no ethno-botanical studies are conducted are in this area except for a list of 50 plants reported by the senior author and co-researchers (1989). Therefore a detailed study on tribal medicine in this area is undertaken. During this work 190 species are collected having a variety of ethno-pharmacological values. However this article deals with 23 species only, having remedial effect for arthritis and rheumatism. Out of them 10 species having anodyne properties from first hand ethnic information.

  • Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS)
    Topic: Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS) Course: Remote Sensing and GIS (CC-11) M.A. Geography (Sem.-3) By Dr. Md. Nazim Professor, Department of Geography Patna College, Patna University Lecture-5 Concept: India's remote sensing program was developed with the idea of applying space technologies for the benefit of human kind and the development of the country. The program involved the development of three principal capabilities. The first was to design, build and launch satellites to a sun synchronous orbit. The second was to establish and operate ground stations for spacecraft control, data transfer along with data processing and archival. The third was to use the data obtained for various applications on the ground. India demonstrated the ability of remote sensing for societal application by detecting coconut root-wilt disease from a helicopter mounted multispectral camera in 1970. This was followed by flying two experimental satellites, Bhaskara-1 in 1979 and Bhaskara-2 in 1981. These satellites carried optical and microwave payloads. India's remote sensing programme under the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) started off in 1988 with the IRS-1A, the first of the series of indigenous state-of-art operating remote sensing satellites, which was successfully launched into a polar sun-synchronous orbit on March 17, 1988 from the Soviet Cosmodrome at Baikonur. It has sensors like LISS-I which had a spatial resolution of 72.5 meters with a swath of 148 km on ground. LISS-II had two separate imaging sensors, LISS-II A and LISS-II B, with spatial resolution of 36.25 meters each and mounted on the spacecraft in such a way to provide a composite swath of 146.98 km on ground.

  • Space India Jan-June 2016.Pdf
    The Indian Space Programme Space activities in the country were initiated with the setting up of Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) in 1962. In the same year, work on Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS), near Thiruvananthapuram, was also started. The Indian space programme was institutionalised in November 1969 with the formation of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Government of India constituted the Space Commission and established the Department of Space (DOS) in June 1972 and brought ISRO under DOS in September 1972. Department of Space has the primary responsibility of promoting development of space science, technology and applications towards achieving self reliance and assisting in all round development of the nation.

  • Improved Process Quality for Spacecraft Manufacturing
    Improved Process Quality for Spacecraft Manufacturing About the Client VSSC (Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre), Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala is one of the main space research and development establishments of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), focusing on rocket and space vehicles for India's satellite programme. The ISRO has successfully deployed Satellites in Polar Orbits, Geosyn- chronous Orbits, Moon Missions and Mars Mission. The centre is an entirely indige- nous facility working on the development of sounding rockets, the Rohini and Menaka launchers, and the ASLV, PSLV, GSLV and GSLV Mk III families of launch vehicles. Business Challenge The ISRO has many contracted ‘work-centers’ throughout India, notably around Banga- lore and Chennai. These work centres are government owned organizations who are contracted out the development of the components and sub-assemblies which are critical in the assembly of launch vehicles. These components are manufactured at the ‘work-centers’ and are quality checked and despatched to the VSSC. Once in VSSC, these components are assembled into ‘Assemblies’ which are then combined to form the Launch Vehicle. Some of the challenges faced by the client include Lack of an integrated system for data sharing and quality monitoring. Workers having to manually conduct quality charting. "Post implementing QC automation tool, we have seen that the number of errors in the inspection reports for both PSLV & GSLV structures has reduced drastically (even to nil) since all the reports are through QC automation system. This has helped us to accelerate the clearance proce- dure for the structures and with no queries to the work centres. I consider this as a great appreciation for the QC automation project.
