ISRO Wins Patent to Manufacture ‘Moon Soil’ for Future Lunar Missions

Last week, a French court allowed Cairn to seize 20 Indian state assets worth more than €20m ($23.63m) in Paris.This was part of the $1.7bn tax row between the Scottish company and the Indian Government.

And it shows no signs of subsiding.But why would Cairn go to the extreme of seizing Government property?

The space agency of the Government of India, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), has quite recently won a patent for its Liquid Cooling and Heating Garment (LCHG), which offers protection from the cold and hot environmentshttps://www.kashishworld.com/blog/isro-wins-indian-patent-for-its-liquid-cooling-and-heating-garment/

This included 24 from the United States too.

The mission is going to see ISRO putting payloads in three orbits as well as conducting various space experiments for the very first time.

ISRO’s third-generation workhorse PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) was used for the launch and was the 47th flight of PSLV.

This mission marks the space agency’s numerous firsts because it will be maneuvering satellites in multiple orbits and experiments on maritime satellite applications and many others will also be conducted.

The rest of the 28 international satellites are one 2U type, two 6U type and twenty-five 3U type nano satellites from the U.S. (24), Switzerland (1), Spain (1) and Lithuania (2).

It is ISRO’s versatile and reliable launch vehicle and has made 39 consecutive flights so far.

People on social media and in other conversations have emotionally reacted to say that this is how a leader should inspire and recognize hard work.

Nevertheless, in April 2018, PM Modi had publicly praised Parameswaran Iyer, the then secretary in the Union Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, for his contribution to the “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan”.

He actually asked the TV cameras to focus on the official who sat among the audience.

But here, I would like to breach the protocol and introduce Parameswaran Iyer to all.”

PM Modi’s adulation is not just for the officers.

Whenever a common person does a remarkable service to a social cause, PM comes out with all adulation.

TeamIndus had reportedly aimed to land on the moon by 31 March 2018 using ISRO's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV).

Google Lunar XPRIZE is a competition which is aiming to inspire engineers and innovators to come up with low-cost methods of robotic space exploration.

To win the competition, the team needs to successfully place a space probe on the moon's surface, make it travel at least 500 meters and then transmit HD video and images back to Earth.

The winner gets $20 million, while the second place team gets $5 million.

However, according to a report in The Ken, multiple ISRO sources have confirmed to it that TeamIndus will not be getting the PSLV rocket as TeamIndus could not generate funds needed to pay for the launch and operations beyond.

The Ken had earlier reported that TeamIndus was already late in reaching its technical milestones and it was evident that even if they had received the required funding, logistical and technical failures would have made it impossible to meet the 31 March deadline set by Lunar XPRIZE.

The State administration of Kerala has gotten things started on another nanoscale innovation stop that will be worked with specialized help from the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in Technocity, Thiruvananthapuram.

The recreation center will probably be up and running by June 2019 as per a Financial Express report.

Kerala's Cabinet has conceded consent to permit 3.94 sections of land of land in Technocity, Thiruvananthapuram, on a 90-year rent, as indicated by the report.

The new space tech industry will work principally as a center point for assembling of little satellites and rocket dispatch hardware.

It would enable access to different new companies in space innovation and regular offices offered by Vikram Sarabhai Space Center (VSSC), ISRO's advanced science division.

ISRO was additionally in discusses setting up space hatcheries in Kerala's Knowledge City yet changed those plans after worries over security were raised.

ISRO chief briefed about the 4 astronauts who have been shortlisted for the Gaganyaan mission and their training would start from the third week of January.

After NASA’s Apollo 11 in 1969 which carried the first laser reflectors to the Moon, ISRO launched 2 tiny microlaser reflectors to the moon through Chandrayaan 2 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota on 22 July 2019 at 2.43 PM IST (09:13 UTC).

He referred lunar mission as a symbol of ” faith and fearlessness”, also praised how ISRO scientists dealt with technical snag while addressing Indians from ” Man ki Baat”

Chandrayaan which means ” Moon vehicle ” in Sanskrit is aimed to deliver rover on the plane close to the uncharted lunar South Pole with the intention of investing water and other sources of energy on the moon.

The payloads that include terrain mapping cameras to prepare a 3D map to analyze specific areas while a collimated large array soft x-ray spectrometer will map the majority of major rock-forming elements.

Along with orbiter and rover, the lander wholly built with homegrown technology.

Chandrayaan 2 consists of three segments: Orbiter, Rover, and Lander.
