Mission Timeline Launch date:October22, 2008 Journey to the Moon: Five-and-a-half day geotransfer orbit Nominal mission: Two years About the spacecraft The craft will be cube shapes, with a length of 1.5 meters on each side and a total mass of 1,050 kilograms. The satellite’s design is based on ISRO's Kalpansat meteorological satellite, launched in 2002. It will also carry a 30-kilogram probe that will penetrate the lunar surface.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration was founded in 1958 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower its purpose was to engage in space research and its applications. Over the years, we have seen the shifts of operation that this agency has gone through. It was re- purposed for military operations, research and development during the cold war, but quintessentially it’s priority has been space exploration and research. NASA currently supports the International Space Station. It is an Earth-Orbiting
U.S. Federal government support of space exploration is NOT the most effective way to engage in scientific discovery Space exploration can be dated back to the age of European Renaissance, a historic age when arts and cultural transformation began. It was the same era when there gradual but widespread transition in educational reforms. Since then the flourishing art and science of stars and planets transformed in to the minute details of comets and meteors. The study, which started as the fundamental
1. Introduction The Hubble Space telescope has been Orbiting the Earth for over two decades, Hubble has helped to answer some of the most compelling astronomical questions of our time – and uncovered mysteries we never knew existed. Investigating everything from black holes to planets around other stars, Hubble has changed the face of astronomy, ushering in a new chapter of humanity’s exploration of the universe. Although named to honor astronomer Edwin Hubble, the telescope was championed by
survive till their 15th birthday”. Man's curiosity for knowledge has led him to explore space. Space contains the planets, countless galaxies and milky ways. Man has been able to go to space and collect pictures of the sun, the planets and the moon. The first man made satellite Sputnik-1 was sent into space by Russia in 1957. Yuri Gagarin of Russia became the first man to go into space. Man has landed on the moon and he is trying to find out the existence of life on other planets. Telecommunication
In our increasing world of interconnectivity, population explosion, and technological and scientific discoveries, how do we manage the accompanying challenges that threaten our existence? In short, how do we survive? Research suggests that space exploration and colonization is of vital importance to mankind, because our planet has a finite resource base for future populace support, we are at an increased risk of mass extinction without dissemination and cosmic expeditions promote innovation to stimulate
Space science and technology and their applications, such as satellite communications, Earth observation systems and satellite navigation technologies, provide indispensable tools for achieving viable long-term solutions for sustainable development and can contribute more effectively to the efforts to promote the developments in the world, improve people’s lives, conserve natural resources and enhance the preparedness for and mitigation of natural disaster(and consequences). Efforts are, therefore

ACHIEVEMENTS OF INDIA IN SPACE RESEARCH (1960-1970) The Indian space program began establishing itself with the launch of sounding rockets, which was complimented by India's geographical proximity to the equator. These were launched from the newly-established ThumbaEquatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) , built near Thiruvananthapuram in southern Kerala. Initially, American sounding rockets like the Nike-Apache, and French sounding rockets like the Centaure, were fired and used for studying
day. There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS. The GPS is made up of three parts: satellites orbiting the Earth; control and monitoring stations on Earth; and the GPS receivers owned by users. GPS satellites broadcast signals from space that are picked up and identified by GPS receivers. Each GPS receiver then provides three-dimensional location (latitude, longitude, and altitude) plus the time. Individuals may purchase GPS handsets that are readily available through commercial retailers
