Dear Reader, Aman Aviation & Aerospace Solutions (P) Ltd. Wishing you and your family Happy New Year 2021. Andhra Pradesh Aviation Corporation This March, the outbreak of COVID-19 sent our aviation Air Works India Engg. (P) Ltd. industry into a tailspin, as airports were shut down and most Airbus Helicopters fleets were grounded. However, the helicopters involved in Arki Aviation (P) Ltd. energy sector continued to provide logistic air support to Exploration and Arrow Aircraft Sales & Charters Pvt. Ltd Production agencies in oil and gas. The Non-Scheduled Operators were among AON Global Insurance Brokers (P) Ltd. the worst hit by the pandemic. AVI-Oil India Ltd. The situation resulted in a serious liquidity problem for the Helicopter Industry with no revenues and salaries to be paid each month. As a result, the Bell Helicopter India Inc. payment of rentals/lease related to office space, Hangar, Porta Cabin imposed a BG Shirke Construction Technology (P) Ltd. tremendous financial burden threatening the very survival of our Commercial Bharat Forge Limited Helicopter Operators. RWSI continued its requests to MOCA & AAI for waiver Bharat Stars Services (Delhi) (P) Ltd. of the Hangar and Office rentals / Porta Cabin charges / Royalties/ Interest for Boeing International Corporation the duration of the lockdown. Regrettably, the Operators did not get any relief. Cairn India Ltd. In respect of op, fiscal and Regulatory issues affecting the Helicopter Operators, Chemplast Sanmar Ltd RWSI held meetings with Smt Usha Padhee IAS Joint Secretary, MOCA on 24 Deccan Charters Ltd. Aug 20 and 30 Sep 20. Hopefully, progress of our request will provide the much- Delhi Institute of Aeronautical Sciences needed stimulus to survive and revive as a business. DG Civil Aviation Govt of U.P. Civil Helicopter Ops. Today, the civil helicopter fleet strength in non- Dhillon Aviation (P) Ltd. scheduled operator’s category is just 183, while it was 222 on 31 Dec 12. There Directorate of Civil Avn Govt of Maharashtra has been a negative growth of the civil helicopter fleet since FY 2011-12. Besides, Directorate of Aviation Govt of Gujarat high operational costs aggravated by a depreciated rupee, exorbitant Aeronautical Directorate of Aviation Govt of Chhattisgarh & Non-Aeronautical charges levied on helicopter operations under various Donaldson Filters India heads have pushed the cost of operations to an unaffordable limit. While the Dynamatic Technologies Ltd MOCA vide Para 16 of its National Civil Aviation Policy (NCAP) in 2016, came Elbit Systems out with key policies to promote Helicopters to play a key role in remote area connectivity, intra-city movement, tourism, law enforcement, emergency medical Essar Power Ltd. evacuation, little progress has been made in implementing the policies. We Executive Airways (P) Ltd. therefore urge the MOCA to implement the assurances given in the NCAP 2016 Epsilon Aerospace Pvt Ltd related to the Industry. Fishtail Air (P) Ltd. (Nepal) Military Helicopter Ops. Unlike the Civil Helicopter operators, the induction Garuda Aerospace (P) Ltd of heavy lift chinook CH 47 helicopters and Apache AH 64 Attack helicopters in Global Vectra Helicorp Ltd. the IAF during the year 2019-20 has added strength to the combat support Globe Aviation capabilities of the IAF. However, it is despairing that the acquisition of light Garware-Wall Ropes Ltd. observation helicopters to replace the existing obsolete Chetak/Cheetah fleet Ghodawat Enterprises (P) Ltd. for Army Aviation Corps is still to be resolved. Any further delay will severely Govt. of Aviation Govt. of Arunachal Pradesh impact on the National Security. The induction of MH-60R Romeo in Indian Grandslam Developers (P) Ltd.

  • History of Science and Technology: Unit: IV
    History of science and Technology: Unit: IV Space research: It is scientific study carried out in outer space, and by studying outer space. From the use of space technology to the observable universe, space. Everyday benefits of space exploration • Improving our understanding of the human body. ... • Talking on cellular phones. ... • Satellites in our everyday lives. ... • Creating jobs in technology. ... • Taking action on climate change. ... • Making scientific discoveries. ... • Performing risky surgical procedures. ... • Getting young people interested in science Importance of space research: In the past four decades, space science and technology freed human beings from the confines of Earth. ... 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.

Consequent to the opening of these new airports, the existing airports in these cities (HAL Airport in Bangalore, Begumpet Airport in Hyderabad) were closed in accordance with conditions set forth in the concession agreements between the Government of India (GoI) and the new airport operators. In this context, this article examines various legal and commercial issues related to closing of the old airports in Bangalore and Hyderabad and the monopoly created thereby. This article consists of two parts. Part I, which discussed issues related to the legal and policy framework, the concession agreements, the Airports Authority of India Act 1994,1 and the notification regarding closure of the old airports, appeared in the previous issue of this journal.2 Part II deals with issues related to other aviation laws, the Constitution of India, competition law, the public interest, and other factors.

DOI: 10.16943/ptinsa/2018/49517 Review Article Recent Seismological Investigations in India PRAKASH KUMAR* CSIR–National Geophysical Research Institute, Uppal Road, Hyderabad 500 007, India (Received on 07 March 2018; Accepted on 06 November 2018) Recent seismological researches in India can be broadly classified under a) seismogenesis and seismotectonics of Himalaya, Burmese-arc, Andaman-Nicobar subduction zone, the Stable Continental region, b) study of reservoir triggered seismicity, with specific emphasis on earthquakes in Koyna, c) earthquake precursory studies, d) study of tsunamigenic earthquakes and establishment of Indian Tsunami Early Warning System, e) studies on site response, microzonation, earthquake risk, vulnerability, disaster management and risk, and f) use and developments of new seismological methodologies to study the deeper structure of the Indian shield. On account of the increase in population density and urbanization, the loss of human lives and properties by earthquakes are expected to continue to rise. To develop an earthquake resilient society, it is desirable to undertake seismic hazard microzonation, implementation of early warning system and carryout earthquake drills in critical areas. Further, emphasis have been given on the detail seismolgoical investigations on oceanic plate in the Indian ocean and slow slip earthquakes in the Himalaya. The article reviews the history, accomplishments, status and challenging trends in seismological research and its applications. It further, shed light on the future directions and the growing needs for society. Keywords: India; Seismotectonics; Himalaya; Andaman-Nicobar Subduction Zone; Tsunami Introduction seismologists are not concerned with earthquakes per se but use the information derived from artificial Seismology was initially defined as the study of seismic sources to image the interior of the earth for earthquakes and related physical phenomena.
