Satellite Towns In 1927 there were approximately 2 billion people on the earth‚ however today our population is almost 6 billion. This huge amount of increase in human population brought crowded metropolitan areas. In order to create planned cities and houses we created satellite towns. These towns also started to be built in our country. Therefore‚ it might be a good idea to consider its advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage of a town with skyscrapers is its modernity. Since we

Fletcher enforces the importance of male role models in families in the film Mad Bastards (Ryan Dennis) The Indigenous genre in recent Australian films have been depicted as falsely represented. Prime examples being recent Australian films Satellite Boy (directed by Catriona McKenzie) and Australia (directed by Baz Luhrmann). Though they are world-renowned the representation of the Indigenous genre shown through these films have been criticised as shallow. However Mad Bastards (2011) directed

Space technology has not only enhanced India’s communication capabilities‚ but has also contributed in meteorological forecasting‚ providing advanced disaster warning‚ search and rescue measures and distance education to remote areas. At the outset‚ one might ask "what is a satellite?." A satellite is an object that revolves

Rohini‚ the first satellite to be placed in orbit by an Indian-made launch vehicle‚ SLV-3‚ was launched in 1980. ISRO subsequently developed two other rockets: the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) for putting satellites into polar orbits and the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) for placing satellites into geostationary orbits. These rockets have launched numerous communications satellites‚ earth

The Sputnik‚ the world’s first artificial satellite‚ was launched by the Soviet Union and sparked a change in history that would greatly alter two already feuding places - the USA and the USSR. The “Space Age” or “Space Race” was a race between Russia and the United States for the supremacy of outer space. The Sputnik satellite led to additional funding for the space program in the United States‚ and the formation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The creation of the Sputnik

HSC PHYSICS: SPACE * 1. “The Earth has a gravitational field that exerts a force on objects both on and around it.” Students learn to “define weight as the force on an object due to a gravitational field.” Mass is the amount of matter in a body whereas weight is the force due to gravity acting on a mass. Mass will not change where the acceleration due to gravity is different but the weight will change. For example‚ bathroom weights are calibrated in kg‚ but actually measure

positioning of the receivers in deserts so that there is no interference in transmission and the main role of rectenna in conversion of energy is studied. This study discusses about the main technical challenge that is the construction of power satellites that uses electrical thrusters instead of chemical propulsion to move in the geosynchronous earth orbit‚ thus decreasing the total weight of the system by 67% and thus making it a low cost ecofriendly launch vehicle.

United States of America‚ Russia‚ Great Britain‚ France‚ Japan and China were the other members. Since then there is no looking bad. India’s space research was born on the VSSC campus.

This space satellite was named after the great Indian astronomer and mathematician of the 5th century‚ Aryabhatta. It was launched from a soviet cosmodrome with the help of a Soviet rocket. It marked India’s giant leap and made her the eleventh country to join the space club. The second satellite ‘Bhaskara’ was launched on June 7‚ 1979. It was also launched from a Soviet cosmodrome
