Science & Technology Facts

Let us now discuss a few facts in the field of Science and technology.

At present, India is one of the most fascinating destinations for technology transactions in the world and it is ranked among the top five.

At present, about 27 satellites (out of which 11 facilitate the communication network to the country) are active and in operations.

Furthermore, India is ranked among the top ten nations in terms of the number of scientific publications.

As per the report of the National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM), the analytics industry of India is expected to touch about USD 16 billion by 2015 from the current USD 2 billion.

Very recently, with 1,000 MW capacity, the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project Unit 1 (KKNPP 1) was set up.

The KKNPP I is located in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu.

To add to the existing project, with the same capacity (i.e. 1,000 MW), the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project Unit 2 is under commissioning.

The DRDO, i.e., the Defense Research and Development Organization has tied up with Snecma, a French engine maker to develop the Gas Turbine and Research Establishment (GTRE); the GTRE will improve the performance of the Kaveri engines.

Kaveri engines are being used in ‘Teja’ the indigenous developed Light Combat Aircraft (LCA).

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has successfully completed its mission of developing India’s independent navigation system by launching the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS – 1G).

IRNSS – 1G is the seventh navigation satellite and it will reduce the country’s dependency on US Global Positioning System.

India recently has become an Associate Member State of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN); the motive is to increase the collaboration between India and CERN’s scientific and technological efforts and also promote the participation of Indian physicists, software engineers, and electronics hardware in global experiments.

The DHR (i.e. Department of Health Research), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare planned to set up a three-tier national network of Viral Research and Diagnostic Laboratories (VRDLs).

Under the project VRDLs, 160 VRDLs will be set up with the capacity to handle about 30 to 35 viruses of public health importance.


lalla129: yeah sure
lalla129: Indian Space Research  organization (ISRO) has given  us  many reasons to celebrate in the  past,  and  it  is back once again with good  news.
  The space agency  is going to help  the US,  which is self-sufficient in space technology, launch its satellite  from  India’s  launch pad  at  Sriharikota. 
lalla129:   The US  is the 20th country  seeking  India’s help  for launching its satellite;  ISRO  scientists have earlier  launched  45  satellites for 19 countries However,  what really  makes this news special is that India’s Polar Satellite launch  Vehicle  will push  the US satellite  into the orbit.  Besides this, other three  major  ISRO accomplishments this year  had  been: 
lalla129: 1)100  days of  Mangalyaan: Remember Mangalyaan? It entered  the Red Planet’s orbit  on September  24,  2014 after  a 666-million-km journey  from Earth in over 10  months,  and  made India  the first country  to taste  success in  its maiden  Mars mission.  The satellite sent  to Mars was none other Mangalyaan,  which  successfully completed  100  days on  January  1, 2015.It is still in the pink  of  its  health and is busy collecting scientific data.
lalla129: 2) Launch  of  India’s 4th  navigational satellite:  ISRO  successfully  launched  a navigation satellite using  the Polar Satellite  Launch Vehicle (PSLV) from Sriharikota  on March  28;  2015.It  will help  the country  to have its own version of  the Global Positioning system (GPS), useful  in  everyday  life for  navigation.  Having an accuracy  of less than  20  meters,  this system is comparable to the best in the world.
lalla129: 3) ISRO  launches five British satellites:On July  11,  2015,  Indian scientist successfully  launched  five British satellites  into the orbit  from Sriharikota.  Britain not  only  rented premium space from  ISRO  but also hired  a rocket  for  the first time.  The total weight of the British satellites is 1,440  kg,  making  this the heaviest commercial launch ever  to be undertaken by India. According  to an  official,  the 2.1tonne 
lalla129: capacity GSLV-Mark-II  would carry  a communication satellite.  It would also  launch even  other satellites by  March 2016.And  if all goes  well;  the Indian space agency might start it mission to Venus by  end of this year.
lalla129: your welcome... :-)
