The launch of the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle D5, or GSLV-D5, and the successful deployment of the GSAT-14 satellite represent a breakthrough for the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro). The indigenouscryogenic engine used in the three-stage GSLV has stabilised. Isro can now launch heavier satellites of up to 2,500 kilogrammes (GSAT-14 weighed 1,980 kg). Cryogenic engines, using liquid hydrogen and oxygen as fuel, are crucial for putting large payloads into space. The mixture of the two elements results in an explosive chemical reaction, imparting thrust as it creates water. But hydrogen stays liquid only below -253 degrees Celsius, and oxygen below -185 degrees Celsius. The liquids must be pumped and reheated to temperatures above 3,000 degrees Celsius in the reaction. There are tricky engineering issues involved; the two-decade cryogenic engine programme has suffered many vicissitudes. Much of the related technology was deemed "dual-use" - which could be easily weaponised. Hence, multiple technology transfers were blocked. The first two launches with indigenous engines failed and this launch was also rescheduled after a leak was detected in August.
Now that it has a grasp of the technology, Isro must scale up quickly. The commercial market revolves around the launch of satellites weighing 4,000 kg plus. The GSLV-D5 cannot service those needs. Until Isro succeeds in developing cryogenic engines with more thrust, it will remain a fringe player in the commercial market and India's own heavy satellites will continue to depend on external launches. Isro has stayed behind the curve in meeting market demand; to become anything other than a niche player, it must speed its movement up the technological ladder.
It is also worth noting that the budgetary allocations to the space programme may be penny-wise and pound-foolish. The annual budget of roughly Rs 7,000 crore is tiny. Its legendary frugality is forced upon Isro by parsimonious resources, which retard the pace of its R&D. There has been much praise for the low-cost nature of the Mangalyaan, which cost just $73 million (Rs 450 crore) - roughly one-ninth that of a comparable probe built by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa). The GSLVs cost Rs 200-250 crore. These are paltry sums. In 2012, global satellite launch industry revenues amounted to over $6.5 billion (about Rs 40,000 crore), while satellite-based services generated $113 billion (Rs 7 lakh crore). Isro could be a big player in both segments, given that it is the most cost-effective of the six agencies with cryogenic capability. There is, thus, a strong case for doubling or trebling budgetary allocations. As it stands, the Indian space programme has paid for itself multiple times. It is integral to remote sensing, weather forecasting, direct-to-home television, mobile communications, navigation, road alignment design, assessment of forest cover, etc.
At the same time, the objectives behind the new thrust into space exploration must be reviewed and stated clearly. In terms of flying the tricolour, the Chandrayaan and Mangalyaan missions have already demonstrated technological capabilities that command global respect, as well as triggering great local interest in space technology. But there may not be direct and immediate pay-offs from these adventures. It is worth asking how much of this will be a useful extension of soft power. If it is - and that case is certainly strong - should it not be supported with more emphatically stated objectives?
Well, at times it is imperative to give you a shock to make you understand the reality.
You are not alone!
Even I do complain about the challenges in life. But when you see the inspirational stories of these amazing young wonders, you will tell yourself that your problems are just negligible.
These 3 inspirational young Indians will touch your heart and capture your soul. If not, you would have to consult a heart and soul surgeon to do some repair .
1. Babbar Ali – World’s Youngest Headmaster at the Age of 16
I believe, you and I are blessed with all the basic necessities of life. Otherwise, neither will I be writing this article nor will you be reading this.
When the so called matured Head masters crib about the pitfalls in the system, Babbar Ali created a system of his own for the world to see and explore.
Inspirational stories[/caption]
This young boy has fought against all odds with a fire in his belly and a deep desire in his heart to educate the children in his neighborhood. Babbar is a 12th standard student of ”Cossimbazar Raj Govinda Sundari Vidyapeeth”, Murshidabad, West Bengal.
He attends school like any normal children from morning till late afternoon. But what he does after his school hours is to be watched, learned and adopted.
Babbar Ali is the Headmaster of an afternoon school called “Anand Shiksha Niketan” where there are 800 students, at present. It all started 9 years back with just 8 students. The school is being run in temporary concrete structure without any major infrastructure. At his Gurukula, Babbar provides free education to all the kids who come from far away places to learn the basic lessons of life.
When we blame the system, our family circumstances, financial instabilities and many other things to take action, Babbar Ali is doing all this with just 3 things – “Sheer Dedication, Passion and Will”.
You can contribute your part to help Babbar support his vision of a 100% literate India. If you are interested please let us know and together we can make India a 100% literate country.
2. Karthik Sawhney – Blind Indian Teen Who Opened The Eyes of Vision-less Indian Educational Officials
IIT denied admission for Karthik, but Stanford welcomed him with both hands. Karthik Sawhney’s inspirational story is a shame for the Indian educational system and a light for the next generation of kids who want to fight against the unjust practices in our system.
short inspirational stories[/caption]
In India, blind students were not given an opportunity to learn science and maths once they complete their 8th standard. They were forced to take other subjects like arts, literature or music.
But Karthik Sawhney had different plans in his mind. He was so much passionate about studying science and maths. So, he decided to face the officials with the help of his parents, relatives and an NGO campaign. Eventually, the CBSE board had to give up. They showed the green signal and Karthik appeared for his CBSE Board exams.
Guess what, he took the whole world by surprise by scoring 96%.
He lost the first battle. However his fight was similar to the spider who eventually built his web in the 8th attempt.
Karthik Sawhney dreamed of becoming a software developer and his vision was to build software application which can be accessed by people with different disabilities. What a stunning vision?
Its a shame on IIT and India that we were not able to let this boy continue his higher education. We denied an opportunity for him to try his potential, alongside the bright brains of physically able students at our IIT’s.
This is where we need to salute the likes of Stanford, MIT, Harvard and Oxford. Stanford was one step ahead by welcoming Karthik to do his Engineering degree at their campus.
When you see lives like these you start believing more in yourself and your self confidence goes up instantly. It is imperative to understand that you will have to face roadblocks towards your journey. At the same time please remember ” All great men have sacrificed something or the other to reach greatness”.
You should be willing to lose something, if you want to gain something else. For example if you want to achieve good health you should be willing to exercise and maintain proper diet.
I am sure, you also would have come across similar inspirational stories of people who live in and around you. Please bring it to our notice, so that we can she their inspirational stories to bring positive changes to the lives of other people.
The 6th BRICS summit is the sixth annual diplomatic meeting of the BRICS, a grouping of major emerging economies that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. It is hosted by Brazil, as the first host country of the current five-year summit cycle;[4] the host city is Fortaleza.[5] Though Brazil hosted a four-member BRIC summit in April 2010, 2014 will mark its first full BRICS summit;[6] the 2010 summit in Brasília did not officially include South Africa, who were only invited as guests in a prelude to full membership, which they achieved in December 2010.[7]
