Chandrayaan-1 gets ready for launch



All set: The fully assembled PSLV-C11, which will launch Chandrayaan-1 on October 22, stands encased in the Vehicle Assembly Building of the second launch pad at Sriharikota on Saturday.

October 21, 2008

With barely 24 hours to go for India’s maiden lunar mission, it is the most nerve raking period for people behind this Herculean task. The modified PSLV is all set to lift of from Sriharikota early tomorrow morning. If all goes according to plan, India will become the third Asian country to have put a satellite into a lunar orbit after Japan and China — which managed the feat just last year.

India has big future plans as well; cabinet has given the green signal for the Chandrayaan 2 mission in 2011, just three years from now. If that was not enough, current plan indicates a manned space mission in 2014 followed by a manned lunar mission in 2020 – which happens to be four years before China’s 2024 deadline. India also seems to be better placed than China as far as the moolah spent on these missions is concerned. The Chandrayaan -1 mission for example, with a budget of $86 million cost only half as much as China’s Chang’e 1 mission.

A space mission and that too a lunar mission is not just about sending a satellite across to the moon and the scientific intent it has. It is also a matter of national pride for most Indians who sit glued to their television screens during these launches. It is expected to be no different tomorrow.

However, experts point out that India’s mission is not just about chest-thumping or an egoistic attempt to increase its clout in the India dominated sub continent. India has as many as 11 communication satellites of its own, which the country has used to its benefit. The INSAT series of satellites have been instrumental in bringing quality education to remote villages in the heart of rural India. This is apart from the IRS, which has helped farmers indirectly for crop yield modeling.

Four decades ago, when the US and Russia were embroiled in a bitter space-race for reaching the moon , sleeping giants India and China were barely a blip on the radar. No one could have envisaged that these countries will in just 40 years start to dramatically shift the highly polarized world economy eastwards.

While the US still is the indisputable superpower, India and especially China has been seeing dramatic growth over the past few decades. While India has not ruffled half as many feathers as China has, it has had its share of limelight — with the Chandrayaan mission being one of the highly decorated feathers on the proverbial cap.

Coming back to the Chandrayaan -1 mission, while most have lauded the efforts by the scientists and engineers behind this mission, there are some others who have voiced their resentment against a mission of this nature; mainly questioning the rationale behind spending colossal amounts of money when the country can spend this amount on “better” things. These include ensuring basic necessities for the country’s poverty stricken masses and other humanitarian needs. While many see a possible “space race” with China in harnessing the lunar mineral wealth, others point towards an arms race claiming that rockets used for firing satellites can also be used for nuclear warheads.

It looks as if the dream come true, the Chandrayaan-1 mission is India’s first lunar spacecraft, which was announced by Ex Prime Minister Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Indian Independence Day, August 15, 2003. He said “Our country is now ready to fly high in the field of science. I am pleased to announce that India will send her own spacecraft to the moon by 2008. It is being named Chandrayaan-1“. Chandrayaan (an ancient Sanskrit word) means “Moon Craft”. The maiden journey of the moon probe is expected to be on 22 October 2008. According to astrologers also, this auspicious date is good for the mission.

Chandrayaan1 - Structure

The Main Objectives are :

  • To expand scientific knowledge about the moon.
  • To upgrade India’s technological capability.
  • To provide challenging opportunities for planetary.

Chandrayaan-1 aims to achieve these well defined objectives through high resolution remote sensing of the moon in the visible, near infrared, microwave and X-ray regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. With this, preparation of a 3-dimensional atlas of the lunar surface and chemical mapping of entire lunar surface is envisaged.

Chandrayaan1 - Assembly

Chandrayaan-1 consists of 5 Indian payloads :

  1. Terrain Mapping Camera (TMC)
  2. Hyperspectral Imager (HySI)
  3. Lunar Laser Ranging Instrument (LLRI)
  4. High Energy X-ray Spectrometer (HEX)
  5. Moon Impact Probe (MIP)

It also consists of six abroad payloads :

  1. Chandrayaan-1 Imaging X-ray Spectrometer (C1XS) – by Rutherford Appleton Laboratory of England and ISRO Satellite Centre, Bangalore.
  2. Smart Near Infrared Spectrometer (SIR-2) – by Max Plank Institute of Germany.
  3. Sub keV Atom Reflecting Analyser (SARA) – by Swedish Institute of Space Physics and Space Physics Laboratory (SPL) of ISRO’s Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre built its processing electronics.
  4. Radiation Dose Monitor (RADOM) – by Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
  5. Mini Syntheic Aperture Radar (MiniSAR) – by Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory and Naval Air Warfare Centre, USA through NASA.

The open minds ask these questions in any order:

1. How and why does forward cargo door open in flight?

2. How does open door in flight cause nose to come off for AI 182, PA 103,

and TWA 800?

3. Why did nose of UAL 811 stay on?

4. AI 182 and PA 103 not a bomb?

5. TWA 800 not center tank as initial event?

6. Explosive decompression enough to tear nose off?

7. Is there a conspiracy to keep cargo door explanation quiet?

Let me answer those basic questions briefly:

1. I don't know about AI 182, PA 103, or TWA 800, but UAL 811 door open

cause was electrical short to door motor to unlatch position which overrode

safety locking sectors and failed switch and door unlatched and opened. PA

103 and UAL 811 had total forward cargo door openings while AI 182 and TWA

800 had rupture at aft midspan latch with bottom eight latches holding

tight. Door openings were probably a result of aging aircraft, out of rig

door, chafed aging faulty poly-x wiring, weakened Section 41 area, design

weakness of no locking sectors for midspan latches, AAR 92/02, page 12,

(Encl 26) and only one latch per eight feet of vertical door. AI 182, PA

103, and TWA 800 had similar circumstances.

2. Cargo door opens and huge ten by thirty foot hole appears in nose,

structural members of door and frame are missing, floor beams are

fractured, bent, and broken, aircraft direction is askew, flight control

surfaces affected, engines damaged, and 300 knots, more than the fastest

hurricane or force five tornado on earth, hits damaged area and tears nose

off within three to five seconds.

3. Nose of UAL 811 may have stayed on because pilot said he had just come

off autopilot and did not fight plane as it gyrated, or plane was younger

than others, or the time from door opening to tearing off was 1.5 seconds

and allowed the pressurization to be relieved somewhat and six less feet of

width of hole was torn off. Cargo door inadvertently opened on the ground

during UAL preflight in 1991 and no damage was done. Cargo door opened in

flight two inches on PA 125 in 1987 and stayed attached to fuselage and

only damage was cost of fuel dumped. Cargo door opened in flight for UAL

811 in 1989 and nine died when door tore off. Cargo door explanation for AI

182, PA 103, and TWA 800 has door opening inflight, tearing off, and then

nose tearing off leading to three similar accident wreckage patterns,

debris fields and total destruction. Door openings have different

consequences depending on altitude, speed and mode of flight.

4. Yes, not a bomb for AI 182 and PA 103 as initial event. Evidence refutes

bomb explanation and is in government accident reports which careful

analysis will reveal and documented on www.corazon.com. Those accident

investigators did not have the benefit of hindsight, the internet, or

several subsequent similar accidents to compare and draw different

conclusions.

5. Center tank exploded yes, but after door ruptured/opened, hole appeared

in nose, nose torn off in wind, fuselage falling with disintegrating fuel

tanks and ignited by fodded and on fire engine number 3 or 4 at 7500 feet

thereby explaining the Chairman's question, "Why so few bodies burned?" The

answer is they were not there to be burned. The nose came off with the

passengers inside cabin and descended to ocean alone. The center tank

exploded into nothingness not the passenger compartment.

6. Explosive decompression is enough to rupture pressurized hull at weak

spot, one latch for eight feet of door, in a weak area, Section 41, but not

enough to tear nose off. The ultimate destructive force is the 300 knots of

slipstream, more powerful than any wind on earth. If cargo door popped in

balloon, the large hole would appear but the nose would stay on. In a

tornado, nose comes off within three to five seconds.

7. There is no conspiracy, no plot, no coverup by anyone involved with the

cargo door explanation:

a. No conspiracy of Sikh terrorists named Singh to put a bomb on AI 182;

the door ruptured in flight.

b. No conspiracy of Libyan terrorists or whoever to put a bomb on PA 103;

the door ruptured in flight.

c. No conspiracy to detonate a bomb on UAL 811 as the passengers thought,

as the crew thought and told the tower who told the Coast Guard and crash

crews on the ground as they prepared for a wounded 747 coming in after a

bomb blast; the door ruptured in flight.

d. No conspiracy to put a bomb on TWA 800, no conspiracy of terrorists to

shoot a missile, no coverup by US Navy to hide accidental shootdown, no

coverup by Boeing, NTSB, FAA, TWA who know the cargo door is the problem

and are hiding that knowledge; the door ruptured in flight.

There is no conspiracy or cover up or plot but it is understandable for the

public and others to believe that explanation: Cargo door cause is subtle.

1. The explosive decompression of door rupture mimics a bomb with noise and

blast effects.

2. The events happen years apart in different jurisdictions with different

airlines.

3. Explosive decompression of door rupture leaves no direct evidence such

as soot, only noise on CVR tape.

4. The cargo door manufacturer and operator are large and highly respected

companies.

5. Explosive decompression causes secondary diversionary effects such as

fireball from center tank explosion and relatively mild blast in cargo

compartment of incendiary device.

6. A door opening and slipstream are considered trivial things by the

public who thinks of a car trunk opening at highway speed not understanding

high internal force of pressurization, large size of cargo door, and

destructive force of 320 miles per hour on weakened structure.

7. Cargo door explanation assumes responsibility for rupture by

manufacturer, operator, government, while bomb or missile can be blamed

elsewhere.

Maglev Trains: On Track with Superconductivity

If you’ve finished reading our primer on superconductivity, you may well be asking yourself, “OK, the science is very cool. But what’s this all mean for me?”

Well, for one, it could mean that you’ll be zipping across town or across country one day at hundreds of miles an hour on a train that flies through the air.

Maglev Train


Around the world, scientists and engineers have been developing maglev trains – trains that levitate above a magnetic field. Although there are systems (such as Germany’s Transrapid system) that use electromagnets rather than superconducting magnets, we’ll limit our explanation here to the type of train that harnesses superconductor technology. Such electrodynamic (suspension) systems (EDS) are currently in experimental use or under development in Japan and Florida.

Many believe this mode of transportation holds great promise and offers considerable advantages. The train cars are less expensive to build than traditional railway cars and are relatively quiet. The tracks take up less land. These trains use far less energy than other types of transportation and don’t pollute. And they put today’s “express” trains to shame, rocketing by at an average 250 mph that can climb much higher. Proponents say an underground maglev could one day shuttle you from the Atlantic to the Pacific in just one hour!

The beauty of maglevs is that they travel on air. The consequent elimination of friction means much greater efficiency. Just as electrons move more efficiently through a superconducting wire because there is no resistance, so, too, does a maglev travel more efficiently than a regular train because there is no friction between the wheels and the track, thanks to the Meissner Effect.

The train itself is equipped with several superconductors, while a series of electromagnetic coils run along the length of the track. When the train approaches these coils, the superconductors induce a current in them that works to both levitate the train several centimeters above the track and to center it between the guide rails.

That’s achieved by a second series of electromagnetic coils, which run alongside the levitation/guidance coils. After the train reaches a certain speed, these propulsion coils kick into gear. They receive a constantly alternating electric current that changes the polarity of the coils in such a way that they are always arranged to push or to pull the onboard superconducting magnets of the passing train. In essence it’s a motor – not a circular one, like the one in your car, but linear, running the length of the entire track. The beauty, though, is that only the coils that are in the vicinity of the moving train at any point in time need be engaged.


Inside a Maglev Train

China maglev budget 'may double'
Maglev train in Shanghai
Shanghai's maglev train started commercial service in 2003
The cost of extending Shanghai's magnetic levitation - or maglev - railway may more than double, says a report in the China Daily newspaper.

The state-run publication said the price could increase to 500m yuan ($69m; £35m) per kilometre of the 31.8km extension, up from 200m yuan.

It puts the increase down to a revised route to avoid densely populated areas.

Maglev trains use electric-powered magnets to float above their tracks, allowing for super-fast speeds.

The newspaper report said the cost increase had also been caused by plans to increase the buffer zone around the track, to take into account residents' concerns about exposure to electromagnetic radiation and noise.

Floating train

Shanghai currently has the world's only commercial maglev service, where the floating train has whisked travellers between the city's main airport and the financial district since 2003.

The planned extension will connect with the city's second airport.

The Chinese government and a German consortium including Siemens, which helped develop maglev technology, have also discussed the possibility of extending the line by 160km to the city of Hangzhou.

Last year, Germany said it had come up with the funds to launch its own maglev rail service.

The state of Bavaria is to build the high-speed railway line from Munich city centre to its airport.

Japan is also now actively exploring the introduction of maglev services.

The world's first commercially operating maglev railway was at Birmingham International Airport in the UK.

From 1984 to 1995, it shuttled passengers 600m from the main terminal to the nearby railway station.

But after 11 years in operation, it was hit by reliability problems and replaced by a conventional system.

Although maglev allows for speeds substantially higher than traditional railway lines, critics point to its much higher costs of installation.

Deadly crash on German monorail
Crashed Maglev train
Rescuers had to use ladders and cranes to reach the train
Twenty-three people died and 10 were injured when an elevated magnetic train ploughed into a maintenance vehicle in north-western Germany.

The train, which floats on a monorail via a magnetic levitation system called maglev, was going at nearly 200km/h (120 mph) when it crashed near Lathen.

Damaged carriages were left balancing on track 5m (16ft) in the air, hampering rescue efforts.

"Today we are in mourning," said Chancellor Angela Merkel at the scene.

The accident happened at about 1000 (0800 GMT), on a 31.8km (20 miles) test track from Lathen to Doerpenwhich is used for tourist trips and to demonstrate the technology.

World record 3

Largest Gathering of People Wearing Underpants

In threatening weather they came. Through early morning thunderstorms and lunchtime rain. To Twickenham Stoop, home of the Harlequins (rugby team – union and league, for the uninitiated) to do what no group of men had done before: strip to their underwear, and form the word “Cosmo” on the Stoop’s playing surface.

1Cosmopolitan World Record thumbnail.jpg

On Sunday, 7 June – on what should have been a warm summer's day – 146 men braved the cold and broke the record for largest gathering of people wearing underpants, as officiated by Guinness World Records™ Adjudicator Paul Kenny. Organized by Cosmopolitan magazine (who have never shied away from asking men to strip for good causes) and supported by Ted Baker London (who donated hundreds of pairs of very classy underwear in five vibrant colours), the event was a fundraiser for Everyman, the male cancer charity who work tirelessly to build awareness of testicular and prostate cancer.

There were all ages, sizes and shapes on display, but they were united by a constant sense of humour, great cheer and patience, as the photographer – on a 24-m (80-ft) crane – snapped them from every possible angle. On hearing that the previous record of 116 people had been beaten, the crowd's jubilation was undeniable – especially among the sea of female partners, friends and supporters who'd come to leer and cheer. It was a record with a difference: it took a lot of... well, you know what I'm going to say, and it was a really fun day out for everyone involved.

Thickest book

On Wednesday, 20 May 2009, Agatha Christie, the “Queen of Crime”, breaks a new world record for the thickest book. For the first time, all the Miss Marple stories – 12 novels and 20 short stories – are collected and published in one volume, for fans and collectors alike.

The Complete Miss Marple runs to a staggering 4,032 pages. Its spine, a work of inspired engineering by master craftsmen, is 322 mm (12.6 in) thick. Agatha Christie already holds two other world records – for the longest running play, The Mousetrap – and as the best-selling fiction author of all time.

In all, 43 murders are solved: 12 poisonings; six strangulations; two drownings; two stabbings; a burning; one blow to the head; one death by an arrow and two people pushed.

There are 68 crimes committed; 11 philandering lovers; 68 secrets and lies; 22 false accusations; 59 red-herrings and 21 romances. A total of 143 cups of tea are drunk in the massive volume, there are 66 maids and 47 garments are knitted.

Thickest book

It is a visually stunning book bound in dark-red leather with gold lettering and red-edged pages. Weighing 8.02 kg (17 lb 10 oz), it is presented in a suede-lined wooden box with brass fittings and a leather handle.

_DSC6596.jpg

In his preface, Agatha Christie’s grandson, Mathew Prichard, writes: “The character continues to speak to readers some eighty years and more after her debut precisely because, in those quiet moments at the end of the day or when a difficult decision needs to be made, each of us wishes for our own Miss Marple to give clear and unequivocal advice.”

Agatha_Christie_Biggest_Book_4.jpg


The book was unveiled at Foyles bookshop on Charing Cross Road in London, UK, on 20 May 2009, where Guinness World Records™ Adjudicator John Pilley measured the book and officially announced the record. Agatha Christie’s grandson Mathew Prichard was also present at the unveiling of the record-breaking book.

Largest motorcycle Poker run

On 18 April 2009, the Red Knights International Motorcycle Club achieved a Guinness World Records™ record for organizing the largest motorcycle poker run taking place in multiple venues simultaneously.

A Poker run (also known as a Poker Derby), is an organized event using a motorcycle, boat, car or other form of transportation where participants travel over a predesignated route and, at designated stops on the route, draw playing card(s). The object is to have the best poker hand at the end of the run.

With the participation of 2,136 motorcycles across nine US states in 22 different venues, this event became the largest motorcycle poker run ever organized. Proceeds from the day were to benefit the Fallen Firefighter Survivors Foundation (FFSF).

Participants of the poker run

Guinness World Records Adjudicator Carlos Martínez was present in Winter Haven, Florida, to present the organizers with their well-deserved Guinness World Records official certificate. The venue, represented by the Red Knights Florida Chapter 10, attracted the greatest number of bikers in the event, with 321 motorbikes, including the presence of the oldest participant in the event, Ouida "Mema" C. Hamilton.

Ouida Sherri Lang, representing the Fallen Firefighter Survivors Foundation, and Matt Nichols, representing the Red Knights International Motorcycle Club, received the certification, which extended to all participating venues.

The Red Knights is a club made up of firefighters and their families, alongside biking enthusiasists in general. They engage exclusively in social, charitable and educational activities. There are more than 225 Red Knights chapters throughout the world, including some in the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Japan and Austria.

The Fallen Firefighter Survivors Foundation was created in memory of the Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technician Ben Lang. This foundation offers immediate assistance to the families of any firefighter – paid or volunteer – who dies in the line of duty within the United States. As a result of this first event, the combined efforts of the Red Knights and FFSF raised more than $40,000.
