ISRO's new-second launch pad to be ready in Tamil Nadu: huge fuel savings


- Small satellites and small rockets will be launched from the new launch pad

- From the new launch pad at Kulsekarpattinam, the satellite will go directly towards the South Pole in a southerly direction instead of passing through Sri Lanka.

Bengaluru/Mumbai: The second launch pad of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) will be prepared near three villages namely Padukkapathu, Pallakurichi, Mathavankurichi in Tamil Nadu. These three villages belong to Kulasekharapattinam taluka of Thoothukudi district of Tamil Nadu. The new launch pad will be built on a vast area of ​​2,300 acres.

ISRO Chairman Sridhar Pannikar Somnath has given this information.

S. Somnath, however, also clarified that the intention of preparing the second launch pad of ISRO at Kulasekhar Pattinam in Tamil Nadu is not to close the existing Sriharikota launch pad and move it there. ISRO will use both the launch pads at Sriharikota's Anekulsekar Pattinam and the new one.

The current Satish Dhawan Space Center (SDSC) at Sriharikota is located in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh.

S. Somnath has also informed that the main and important purpose of setting up the second launch pad at Kulsekarpattinam in Tamil Nadu is to build an alternative space station to launch small satellites and small rockets. Small satellite launch vehicles will be launched from this new launch pad.

Also, creating this second new launch pad will actually give India a lot of geographical advantages. At the same time, fuel (fuel used in rockets) will also be saved massively. For example, the satellites launched from the new launch pad at Kulsekarpattinam will go straight south. At present, the satellites launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota will not have to pass over Sri Lankan skies. So it travels in the South-East (Agni) and then travels further in the sky. Thus the satellite launched from the new launch pad at Kulsekar Pattinam will not have to increase its orbit. As a result, the satellite will go directly towards the South Pole of the Earth.

Also, now that the Indian government has welcomed private companies in the space research sector, talented scientists and engineers who make small-sized satellites and small-sized rockets will also get a lot of encouragement. Finally, India's space research sector will grow. The country will get a gift of new scientists and engineers.

The important point is that ISRO has also acquired 2,300 acres of land in the three villages of Padukkapathu, Pallakurichi, Mathavankurichi. Along with this, the Tamil Nadu government has also completed the process of acquiring 2,200 acres of the 2,300 acres by allocating Rs. 950 crores. is

Darkness will be the enemy of Chandrayaan! How the lander and rover on the moon will work at night, this time is the most challenging

Image
One day on the Moon is equal to 14 days on Earth. In this regard, rover Pragyan and lander Vikram, which reached the lunar surface by Chandrayaan 3 on August 23, have only a few days left. Although ISRO scientists have not ruled out the possibility of Pragyan and Vikram resuming operations, it has become important for the rover to acquire data quickly. Isro's important phase begins on the moon ISRO has said that Chandrayaan 3 is going to do three major tasks on the moon. It includes soft landing on the lunar surface, exploration of the lunar surface and some experiments on the surface. So far ISRO has been successful in the first two, but the experimental phase is still ongoing. Vikram and Pragyan carry the payload through which the data is being collected. An attempt to cover a distance of 300 to 400 meters on the moon SAC director Nilesh M Desai says that scientists are trying to cover the maximum distance to the South Pole. He said that in the remaining days, scientists are...

Heart rate was 110 beats per minute before Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon.

Image
Washington, July 20, 2021, Tuesday As part of the Apollo 11 mission, the US space agency NASA launched Apollo 11 at 1:05 pm local time on July 17. It reached its orbit 15 minutes later. Four days later, the astronauts covered a distance of 3 lakh km and reached the moon. The Apollo 11 mission aroused the curiosity of astronauts and space science enthusiasts. It entered lunar orbit on July 16. It was then decided to land at a place about 50 km southwest of the moon's scatter Sabin dish. The Ranger-2 and Surveyor-2 surveys conducted a comparative study of the area in which the area was found to be flat for landings compared to others. A portion of Apollo 11 was released from the Eagle Command module Scholambias. Neil sent a message to the control center in Houston that they were safe, albeit a short distance from the target. The spacecraft landed northeast of the 50-meter-diameter Swift Cretaceous with 6 seconds of fuel remaining. After the first commander Neil Armstrong landed, ...

For the first time in the history of medical science, an HIV patient recovered automatically

Image
New York, September 1, 2020, Tuesday There is no cure for HIV / AIDS in the world. Some medications can prolong life but do not destroy the virus that weakens the immune system. However, scientists and doctors are surprised that an HIV patient recovers without any treatment. There have been two previous cases in which the virus did not re-enter the body after bone marrow transfer, but it is the first time that the HIV virus has exited without any treatment, perhaps because the immune system has destroyed it. According to information published in the journal Nature, the doctors examined 120 million cells in the body. The AIDS patient was then named ECTU. The fact that the body was free of the HIV virus meant that the body had eliminated it. In addition, 100 million cells from another AIDS patient were examined, in which doctors found only one virus to be active. However, the active virus also appeared to be genetically inactive. This also meant that the genetics of both AIDS patient...

The transmission power of Corona virus sticking to the surface decreases after 5 days - research

Image
London, 10, June, 2020, Wednesday It is common knowledge that the corona virus is spread from person to person through sneezing and nasal and oral droplets, as well as if the corona virus is spread on a plastic metal or other surface. There has been a lot of research on how long the corona virus survives on which surface, but the research done by the University College London in Britain is shocking. According to research published in the Journal of Hospital Infections, corona viruses can live on any surface for up to five days at most. It can spread to a large area within the first 10 hours when the transmissible power of the corona virus, which landed on the surface on the fifth day, was reduced. Observed after 10 hours, it spread to every corner of the ward. During the experiment Corona used a virus to infect artificial plants with a virus for a patient's breath that could not infect a man. Both viruses were then found in a drop of water and left on the bed railing. The viru...
