Before India’s space milestone, Isro had to put a 673kg satellite on a bullock cart

Before India’s space milestone, Isro had to put a 673kg satellite on a bullock cart

Decades ago, Isro scientists placed the Indian space agency’s first communication satellite on a bullock cart. It was steered into an open field, as an improvised solution to a problem the agency had no facility to solve at the time. A bullock cart was used during the testing of APPLE’s antenna prior to the launch. (Isro) The satellite’s antenna had run into trouble. Issues were detected in its Telemetry, Tracking and Control (TT&C) links, crucial for maintaining communication. But testing called for a proper antenna range, with the satellite structure placed under a thermal blanket, a kind of facility Isro did not have then. So, the scientists came up with an indigenous fix — they put the satellite on a bullock cart to ensure a non-magnetic environment and ran the test in the open. That satellite was APPLE. Forty-five years ago, on June 18, 1981, India’s space effort cleared a milestone after the experimental satellite was placed in orbit, taking the country to the doorstep of a domestic satellite communication system. The Ariane Passenger Payload …

For the first time, a Chinese-only study was placed on one of cancer research’s biggest global stages. India has researchers, clinicians, elite engineers and a base of patients who could help answer questions that western research cannot.

It combines a programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blocker — PD-1 is a human protein that acts as an immune system down-regulator that prevents autoimmune diseases but also thwarts immune response against cancer cells — and a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor (VEGF is a protein that promotes growth of new blood vessels in normal course, but is also produced by tumours to create a blood supply for them).

Single-window clearance needed for space tech growth in India: Industry | Ahmedabad News

A single-window clearance system and focus on policies and schemes to develop indigenous capabilities in the space sector to reduce the over-dependence on other nations were the demands raised before the Union Minister of State for Science and Technology and Earth Sciences Jitendra Singh, during an interaction with startups and industries in the space tech sector. The interaction was part of an event organised by Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) — an autonomous nodal agency under the Centre—here on Thursday. IN-SPACe chairman Pawan Goenka said the roundtable with about 80 CEOs and CXOs held on Wednesday gave ideas on what needs to be done to push the space sector forward. “The recommendations that emerged from the roundtable on what the industry is looking for from the government include the concern that we still do not have a truly single window system. Also, some of the current regulations, like export clearance, result in delaying the process. Sometimes, they have a time-bound dispatch for satellites. The clearances don’t come and they miss their slot. …
