India....Advancing in every step...

We've seen the great and inspiring launch of the mangalyaan from the Sri Harikota, Bengaluru. India advanced in the space program, and created it with the lowest cost, lower than the cost for constricting the golden gate bridge. So India's second step-the second indigenous military fighter plane-Tejes. It is said to be very lightweight,  which helps in flying fast, and can clock in at 900 to 1000 km/ph, breaking the supersonic barrier. Second, this helps in doing many stunts and other tricks for wars,  and for many air shows. It has been tested for carrying bombs,  laser weapons, and India can prove that it is also a powerful nation in terms of backup, weapons, and most importantly, education. So may India grow up, develop more and inspire others.

PTP(Personal Transit Pods)


Personal Transit Pods.....Great feat by Masdar city





Oh, sure -- Masdar City's driverless pods may not make nearly as many stops as your average metro, but it essentially matches the usefulness of the subway station in Pyongyang. And with a lot less energy waste, to boot. If you'll recall, these driverless pods were planned years ago, and while the ambitions have been quelled somewhat thanks to the economic crunch, that hasn't stopped students and engineers from using 2GetThere's pods, magnets and a fiber optic system to create a two-stop transfer system at the university. For now, they're whisking students between a pair of drop points that are 800 meters apart, traveling 15 miles per hour and instilling fear into everyone who dares step inside. As for the future? Only The Jetsons truly know, but you can take a glimp

Mangalyaan-India's pride




Mangalyaan




Launch of Mangalyaan


Orbital Path


          Mangalyaan - Isro's Mars Orbiter Mission spacecraft - successfully propelled itself on to an interplanetary trajectory and embarked on its 300-day journey to Mars in the wee hours of Sunday. 
          On November 19, the scientists had been positively ecstatic when the Mangalyaan - 70,000 km above the earth - sent back India's first colour images from an indigenously built camera. The scientists are now sure that other instruments on board are working fine
          Isro on Sunday declared that there would be a total of four correctional manoeuvres of the trajectory during Mangalyaan's journey to Mars. The first manoeuvre will happen on December 11. The second and the third manoeuvres are planned for April 2014 and August 2014, and the final orientation will happen 10 days before Mars orbit insertion on September 14.

TIME LINE OF VOYAGE

Nov 5: PSLV-C25, in its twenty-fifth flight, successfully launches Mars Orbiter Mission Spacecraft

Nov 7: The first orbit-raising manoeuvre of the spacecraft

Nov 8: The second orbit-raising manoeuvre of the spacecraft, with a rocket burn time of more than 9 minutes. The observed change in apogee (the farthest point in an elliptical orbit) is from 28,814km to 40,186km.

Nov 9: The third orbit-raising manoeuvre

Nov 11: In the fourth orbit-raising operation, the apogee of the spacecraft was raised from 71,623km to 78,276km by firing up the rockets and imparting an incremental velocity of 35 metres/second against planned 130 metres/second to raise apogee to about 1 lakh km.

Nov 12: Fourth supplementary orbit-raising manoeuvre of the spacecraft. Apogee raised from 78,276km to 1,18,642km.

Nov 16: The fifth orbit-raising manoeuvre. Apogee is raised from 1,18,642km to 1,92,874km.

Dec 1 : Mangalyaan is finally propelled by Trans Mars Injection operations. The liquid engine burn time was more than 22 minutes which imparted incremental velocity was 647.96 m/sec and the craft embarks on its Mars journey

On the eve of 42nd National Day of UAE

          U.A.E-the land built on dreams and visions with great visionaries to fulfill them. When I first came to the U.A.E, I was about 5 years and was studying in 1st STD. As I was small, I could not identify this country and its great potential. All I could see was sand, deserts and buildings. As I grew up, I realized this country is a nation with great possibilities.

          I live in the city of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the U.A.E and I was amazed to see all the tall buildings and lots of vehicles, long, straight roads and beautiful parks and surroundings. I realized that I was very lucky to be in a country like the U.A.E… I visited Dubai, the financial hub of the U.A.E. Dubai is a city full of amazing wonders like the Dubai Metro, the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. The Dubai Mall, which is one of the the biggest mall in the world, attracts tourists from all over the world . The U.A.E  always takes on big challenges in many fields and overcome them. I appreciate this spirit of the U.A.E. Whenever I go to Abu Dhabi or Dubai, I can see some new developments going on. And then I realized how much fast this country is developing.

          The U.A.E gives much importance to the education of the children. The country has strict rules regarding education, and provides a good atmosphere for students. I am very happy to study in the U.A.E. I am studying in The Sunrise English Private School. I have Arabic as a subject, which helps me to understand more about the U.A.E.   Science Festivals, art festivals and cultural events are regularly held which helps students like us to learn many new things.
         
           I have visited all the seven emirates in the U.A.E. The people of the U.A.E gives us respect and behaves well with all of us.

           I love  the infrastructure, the people, the rulers, the transport and everything of the U.A.E. H.H. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the Father of the U.A.E, H.H.Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the U.A.E, H.H.Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktom, Vice President of U.A.E and Ruler of Dubai have played important roles in developing this country. As the U.A.E gives much importance to education, it was very helpful for me. It also has many job opportunities, which helps in the growth of this fast growing nation. And U.A.E has proved its worth by winning the bid to host the World Expo 2020.     
         
          Millions of people have migrated to the U.A.E and have made it their second home. It is a country which has a rich culture and diversity. It gives me the feeling of my home country. I am waiting to witness more progress in the growth of the U.A.E. I love U.A.E
