big fan of science; indeed‚ we were all excited. We arrived at HR Macmillan Space Center around 11 in the morning - just in time for the first show‚ “Rocket Lab.” Basically‚ I was thinking that the live show was going to be about rockets‚ how they are built and how they work. Upon entering the theatre‚ I did not see anything close to a rocket and there were only these small screens which were for the audience’s viewing‚ obviously. I‚ however‚ did not let the setting ruin my mood. It turns out

be remembered as a red letter day in the history of India’s space programme. This was the day when first rocket from India was launched. It was also the day when Thumba Equatorial Launching station came into operation. The rocket was assembled in a nearby church which had been acquired for building the said station. The first India made rocket lifted from Thumba in 1969. This 10 kg pencil rocket had propellants made in India and it was assembled in church building which is now a museum of space memorabilia

Annie J. Easley was an female African-American computer scientist‚ mathematician‚ and rocket scientist. She helped develop power technology and software for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration‚ which we all know as “NASA”. She was born on April 23‚ 1933 in Birmingham‚ Alabama. Easley was the daughter of Samuel Bird Easley and Mary Melvina Hoover. Her and her only brother‚ who was six years old than her were raised by their single mother‚ who was a great encourager‚ and excelled in

Abstract: In Rockets and Missiles combustion gas of an integral burning of a propellant flows along the duct of the propellant. If the nozzles attached to a rocket motor are removed‚ the pressure on the duct becomes equal to atmospheric pressure and no sonic velocity is attained at the rear end of the duct. Then no thrust generated by the combustion of the propellant. In nozzleless propulsion the mass burning rate of the propellant in the duct is increased and the flow reaches sonic velocity

India’s Space Programme Starting with a modest beginning in 1963 primarily to carry out sounding rocket experiments in space science‚ the Indian Space Research Organization SRO) has focused its attention on using space technology for carrying out major identified national tasks on a totally self-reliant basis. Self-reliance‚ accomplished with national applications of space technology is the main objectives of the Indian Space programme. Main thrust areas are: Satellite communications for various

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle commonly known by its abbreviation PSLV‚ is an expendable launch system developed and operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It was developed to allow India to launch its Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites into sun synchronous orbits‚ a service that was‚ until the advent of the PSLV‚ commercially viable only from Russia. PSLV can also launch small size satellites into geostationary transfer orbit (GTO). The PSLV has launched 55 satellites

were designed to be towed to the target area by a full-sized “mother” submarine. The X-craft would then be detached and infiltrate the target‚ laying down two side charges‚ each containing 2 tonnes of amatol. They would then make their escape and rendezvous with the “mother” submarine to be towed home. The first attack was launched against the German battleship Bismarck. Six X-craft were designated for the operation‚ but two were lost to accidents en route‚ and a third suffered mechanical problems
