The peaceful uses of outer space provided a powerful tool for bringing about global cooperation and furthering of the well-being of humanity and the Earth's environment. Rockets: The United states and the soviet union created their own missile programs. The space research field evolved as scientific investigation based on advancing rocket technology. In 1948–1949 detectors on V-2 rocket flights detected x-rays from the Sun. Sounding rocketshelped show us the structure of the upper atmosphere. As higher altitudes were reached, space physics emerged as a field of research with studies of Earths aurora, ionosphere and magnetosphere. Artificial satellites The first artificial satellite, Russian Sputnik 1, launched on October 4, 1957, four months before the United States first, Explorer 1. The major discovery of satellite research was in 1958, when Explorer 1 detected the Van Allen radiation belts. Planetology reached a new stage with the Russian Luna programme between 1959 and 1976, a series of lunar probes which gave us evidence of the Moons chemical composition, gravity, temperature, soil samples, the first photographs of the far side of the Moon by LUNA 3, and the first remotely controlled robots (Lunokhod to land on another planetary body.

    PROPELLING HEALTHCARE IN MISSION MODE “We have indigenously developed state-of-the-art missile technology, making India self-reliant in the production of combat missiles and missile interceptors. It got realized through mission mode activity with a strong leadership and well managed workforce. The missile technology mission could be taken as a model for addressing the challenges in healthcare for the benefit of all citizens”. Dr.Vijay Kumar Saraswat, Hon’ble President of Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST), Trivandrum, shares his experiences in missile development mission and suggests the lessons therein for the healthcare sector. Here are excerpts from his informal conversation with Dr.Srinivas Gopala and Dr.Manoj Komath. Sir, we see that your professional career has been devoted to missile development. How did you get introduced to this exotic field ? That happened in the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Campus, when I enrolled for ME in 1970. I joined the Aeronautics Department for a course on Internal Combustion Engine. I did my Bachelors in Science and B Tech in Mechanical Engineering in my hometown, Gwalior, before coming down South to Bangalore. IISc is a different world where a student gets the rare exposure to exotic, state-of-the-art subjects. I studied ‘Rocketry’ as an elective. Sir, can you tell us about your entry into defence research ? That was through Campus selection in 1972 for the newly formed Defence Research and Development Laboratory in Hyderabad. It was set up under a special fund from the government for missile technology development. Only a few countries had that knowhow at that time and India was dependent on them for such weapons.
