NASA DART Mission: NASA's Mission to Save Earth Successful, History Made


- The Dart mission was executed at 4:44 AM IST on September 27.

New delhi date. 27 September 2022, Tuesday

NASA has so far done many researches in the field of space. And over time NASA has been creating many records. Today once again NASA has made history. NASA's Dart mission has been successful in saving Earth from an asteroid that is considered to be a major disaster. So today is considered a historic day for the entire Earth. The American space agency NASA on Monday created history and successfully conducted an experiment under which any future asteroids that are likely to collide with the Earth can be dealt with. A NASA spacecraft had a precise collision with an asteroid 7 million miles away. Such a collision would knock the asteroid out of its orbit, eliminating the possibility of it colliding with Earth.

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft collided with an asteroid 'Dimorphos' moving in space. This spacecraft was launched from California, USA for this mission 10 months ago.

Lori Glaze, director of NASA's planetary science division, said after the successful test, "We are beginning a new era." An era in which everyone has the ability to protect themselves from anything like a potentially dangerous asteroid impact.

The Dart mission was carried out at 4:44 am IST on September 27. Under this the spacecraft 'DART' collided with another asteroid Dimorphos which was orbiting asteroid Didymos. However, data on the direction Dimorphus went after the spacecraft collided with the asteroid is yet to be revealed.

This is the first time in human history that an asteroid collision test has been conducted in space. It is believed that such a mission would be able to deal with such a threat to Earth in the future. The asteroid that hit the spacecraft Dimorphos was about 169 meters in length. It was orbiting a large asteroid. In such a situation, the spacecraft was supposed to collide with it at a certain time in front of the scientists. Scientists hope that the collision will change both the asteroid's direction and speed.

Spacecraft collided with a speed of 23 thousand km

In a video released by NASA, it can be seen that the oval shape becomes more and more visible as the spacecraft approaches it. The spacecraft then collides with its surface. The speed of the spacecraft during the collision was 23500 km per hour.

Minutes after the collision, a satellite called LICIACube that had separated from DART a few weeks earlier. The picture after the collision has been taken. This will make the situation more clear in the coming days. Images captured by LICIACube will be revealed in the next few weeks.

NASA will investigate pollution spreading from Earth into space

Image
Washington, Dt. 20 July 2022 Wednesday Each year, more than 1 billion metric tons of dust and sand are blown into the atmosphere by fast winds. Scientists know that dust affects the environment and climate, but they don't currently have enough data to determine what effect this has or what might happen in the future. For this recently SpaceX Dragon spacecraft has been launched at the International Space Station. Hereby NASA has sent the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation Device. Which will help the scientists in this matter. EMIT's state-of-the-art imaging spectrometer is built by the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. The spectrometer will measure more than a billion dust particles around the world over the course of a year. EMIT is going to do a lot of important work by going into space. This will identify the composition of mineral dust from arid regions of the Earth. Desert areas generate the most mineral dust, which is released ...

In a first in history, NASA lost contact with the ISS in a power outage, leaving scientists confused.

Image
This was the first time such a situation had occurred at NASA headquarters due to which NASA lost contact with the space station. As it turned out, the power went out at NASA's headquarters in Houston, although power failures are not uncommon in America. It is also a place from where scientific research is going on from all over the world. Because of this, the International Space Station lost contact with NASA and this was not a matter of one or two minutes but there was no contact with it for one and a half hours. This is the first time in the history of communication between NASA and the space station. This is the first time such an event has occurred in history The space station first became fully operational in 2009. Since then, this kind of situation has never happened. NASA has a power backup at its headquarters. There is a complete backup control system to communicate with the astronauts on the space station orbiting above 450 km. This contact was lost for 90 minutes Th...

5G will be launched in the country from Gandhinagar: PM Modi will inaugurate

Image
Ahmedabad. 21 July 2022, Thursday The fifth generation (5G) services, which are capable of the fastest data transfer in mobile services, will be launched in Gujarat's capital Gandhinagar in the country. It is known that these services will be dedicated to the country by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and will start on August 15 when the country is completing 75 years of independence. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to come to Gujarat after the Independence Day celebrations at the Red Fort and start the services. The auction of spectrum for 5G services in the country is set to begin this week and the Adani group has also shown interest in bidding in addition to Reliance Jio, Vodafone Idea and Airtel. However, Adani has announced that this spectrum purchase is only for providing enterprise services, so customers will only get services from three companies. Before the launch, testing of 5G services in Gujarat took place in Gandhinagar, Jamnagar and Vadodara. Tests were cond...

Now contactless fingerprint system for Aadhaar

Image
Currently, when we want to unlock the smartphone, depending on the model of the phone, we have to touch the power button on the back of the phone or on the screen on the front or elsewhere with our thumb or other finger. Similarly, when we want to prove our identity with the help of Aadhaar system in various places, we have to put our thumb or other finger on a small device connected by wire to the phone or computer. Touch has so far been important in the use of fingerprints. But now the exercise of removing touch from the whole thing has begun. The Unique Identification Authority of India, which administers the Aadhaar system in India, and the Indian Institute of Technology , Bombay, have jointly started an effort to develop a contactless fingerprint biometric capture system (a lot of work has been done in this direction in other countries as well). This system will capture fingerprints of multiple fingers for greater accuracy. In the long run, this technology will be added to com...

The rat meat tissue sent to the space station became stronger

Image
Washington, September 8, 2020, Tuesday As many as 40 black rats were sent to the space station in December last year to find out how astronauts go on long-term space missions to affect their muscles and body. Has become. The experiment was performed by a research team at the Jackson Laboratory in Connecticut. According to a study published in a science journal, the rats were not given any regular medication. In the non-gravitational position, muscle and bone mass decreased by 15%. Scientists also sent six genetically modified mice into space, which were considered to be Mighty Mice. Not only did these mighty rats lose weight but their muscles doubled. Eight normal rats that were given the medicine of mighty rats in space. They also developed a lot of muscle. The weight of these muscles was controlled by a protein. The Space X capsule brought back all 40 rats that had been parachuted into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. If some normal rats were given potent rats, th...
