Space and Tech

* NASA Curiosity Mission - Largest and most capable rover sent on Mars which landed on 2012 to find chemical and mineral evidence of past habitable environments on Mars.

* The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) - Joint mission of ROSCOMOS + ESA to find traces of Gases on Martian Planet which can also help in biological evidences on the planet and operation began in 2016.

It will also look for seasonal changes on the mars and Ice sheets beneath.2nd mission ExoMars 2020, is planned for launch in 2020 and will include a rover capable of drilling about 6 feet. 

* NASA (Sperm Bank on Mars) - Planned to colonise mars by 2023. Recent study shows that frozen sperms is in same condition as it is on mars and said first person to walk on Mars will be Women.

* Orion’s Launch abort system is also called the Ascent Abort Test-2 (AA-2) is tested for NASA's Artemis mission to Moon in 2024. Where orion capsule will b fetched in case of rocket faliour n fall back in Atlantic ocean.

* India based nutrino observatory - 51k iron calorimeter (ICAL) is set up at theni destruct of Tamil Nadu to observe the Naturally occurring nutrinos. INO measure Cosmic Ray's.

* Ramanujan machine - by Israeli Researcher 'technion' developed it. It is supposed to reverse the process of result by taking result as input n provide scenario what can cause such output

* K218b planet - only orbiting star outside solar system (Exoplanet) have water vapour n temperature which may support habitat.

It has larger size n gravity n orbit dwarf star k218. 8 times larger than Earth's Mass n found by NASA kepler spacecraft in 2015.

* INS Sahyadri and Kiltan

• The ships are part of the Indian Navy's Eastern Naval Command, based at Visakhapatnam.
• INS Sahyadri is a Shivalik-class multi-role guided missile stealth frigate.
• INS Kiltan is a Kamorta-class anti-submarine warfare corvette.

INS Sahyadri and Kiltan, are the latest, indigenously designed and built multi-role ships of the Indian Navy.

* Tech-saksham - min of MSME to improve the capability of MSME with the help of technology.

* Subaru telescope located in Huwaai discovered 20 new moons of Saturn making it planet with most moons with 82 moons n Jupiter with 79.

But largest moon in Solar system Ganymede is of Jupiter.

Saturn's famous moon -

1. Enceladus - water jets on North n south pole, top part covered with ice.

2. Dione - Rocky planet like Earth's moon. 

3. Titan - Possibility of life due to methane availability. NASA's mission dragonfly is on this.

* Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) is an international research expedition to study the physical, chemical, and biological processes that coupled the Arctic atmosphere, sea ice, ocean, and ecosystem.

* GEMINI (Gagan enabled Mariner instrument for navigation and information) - launched by min of Earth science, the Device is developed for effective dissemination of emergency information and communication on Ocean States Forecast and mapping of Potential Fishing Zones (PFZ) to fishermen.

Drawback - one way communication n expensive (9k). Govt panned to subsidised to 90%.

* Nutrinos study- First study conducted in Kolar in Karnataka in 1965 at the depth on 2000 meter.

* Ultima Thule renamed as Arrakoth.

* Winter grade diesel or Alpine diesel developed by State run Indian oil which will be in liquid condition even in -33 degree celcius.

Normal diesel contain paraffin wax which freezes during winter in ladakh.

* Starlink by SpaceX - Launched 60 satellites in low Earth orbit to provide low cost internet access to people n where there is no internet at all.
