2 September 2022

Fresh off its success at the moon, India is now headed for the sun.

The nation launched its first-ever solar observatory today (Sept. 2), sending the Aditya-L1 probe skyward atop a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) from Satish Dhawan Space Centre at 2:20 a.m. EDT (0620 GMT; 11:50 a.m. local India time).

The PSLV deployed Aditya-L1 into low Earth orbit (LEO) as planned about 63 minutes after liftoff, sparking applause and high fives in mission control.

"Congratulations, India, and congratulations, ISRO [the Indian Space Research Organisation]," Jitendra Singh, India's Minister of State for Science and Technology, said shortly after deployment on ISRO's launch webcast.

"While the whole world watched this with bated breath, it is indeed a sunshine moment for India," Singh added.

The successful launch followed on the heels of another big milestone for India: On August 23, its Chandrayaan-3 mission became the first to land softly near the moon's south pole.

Chandrayaan-3's lander-rover duo are expected to conk out in a week or so, when the harsh lunar night falls at their touchdown site. But Aditya-L1's long journey has just begun.

A long road to a good sun-viewing spot

Aditya-L1 won't stay in LEO forever:

After a series of checkouts, it will use its onboard propulsion system to head toward Earth-sun Lagrange Point 1 (L1), a gravitationally stable spot about 1 million miles (1.5 million kilometers) from our planet in the direction of the sun.

That destination explains the latter part of the mission's name. And the first part is simple enough: "Aditya" translates to "sun" in Sanskrit.

The 3,260-pound (1,480 kilograms) observatory will arrive at L1 about four months from now, if all goes according to plan.

But the long trek will be worth it, according to the ISRO.

"A satellite placed in the halo orbit around the L1 point has the major advantage of continuously viewing the sun without any occultation/eclipses," ISRO officials wrote in an Aditya-L1 mission description.

"This will provide a greater advantage of observing the solar activities and its effect on space weather in real time."

Indeed, another sun-studying spacecraft is already at L1 — the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), a joint NASA-European Space Agency mission that launched in December 1995.

(Several other spacecraft, including NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, are at Earth-sun Lagrange Point 2, which is a million miles from Earth, in the direction away from the sun.)

Solar flares, the coronal heating mystery and more

Once it's settled in at L1, the solar probe will use four three science instruments to study the particles and magnetic fields in its immediate surroundings and four others to scrutinize the sun's surface (known as the photosphere) and its atmosphere.

This work will help scientists better understand solar activity, including the dynamics of solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), ISRO officials say.

Flares are powerful flashes of high-energy radiation, and CMEs are huge eruptions of solar plasma.

Both types of outburst can affect us here on Earth. Intense CMEs that hit our planet, for example, trigger geomagnetic storms that can disrupt satellite navigation and power grids.

(As a side benefit, such storms also supercharge the gorgeous light shows known as auroras.)

Aditya-L1 will also tackle the "coronal heating problem," one of the biggest mysteries in heliophysics.

The corona — the sun's wispy outer atmosphere — is incredibly hot, reaching temperatures around 2 million degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 million degrees Celsius), according to NASA.

That's about 200 times hotter than the solar surface, which is "only" 10,000 degrees F (5,500 degrees C) or so.

It's still unclear what is responsible for this startling and counterintuitive discrepancy.

(Why would it be hotter away from the sun's core, where the energy-producing nuclear fusion reactions are occurring?)

Aditya-L1 has other science goals as well. For instance, the mission also aims to more fully flesh out the solar wind, the stream of charged particles flowing constantly from the sun, ISRO officials said.

Aditya-L1 will measure the composition of the solar wind and attempt to determine how it is accelerated.

And Aditya-L1 will do all this work on the cheap:

The mission's price tag is about 3.8 billion rupees, or $46 million US at current exchange rates.

That's in the same ballpark as Chandrayaan-3

India's first successful moon-landing mission costs about 6.15 billion rupees, or $74 million US.

For comparison, NASA's most recent big-ticket sun mission, the record-setting Parker Solar Probe, costs roughly $1.5 billion.

This disparity should not be viewed as an indictment of NASA, however; labor costs are much higher in the United States than in India, among other differences between the two nations' economies.

Aditya-L1 is a coronagraphy spacecraft to study the solar atmosphere, designed and developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and various other Indian research institutes.

Chandrayaan-3: ISRO delays reviving Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover on Moon

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) had plans to wake up the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover on the moon, but they had to push it to Saturday. The Director of the Space Applications Centre, Nilesh Desai, explained that they initially wanted to activate the rover and lander on September 22, but now they are going to do it on September 23 due to some reasons. “ISRO’s plan was to attempt…

The ground shakes. Paintings tilt. Walls crack. Rubble may fall. On Earth, we understand how and where these events happen due to the discovery of plate tectonics – the continental crust’s creation, movement, and destruction. However, when astronauts placed seismometers on the lunar surface during NASA’s Apollo mission era, those instruments recorded quakes on the Moon. In the 1970s, the Viking landers also recorded quakes on the surface of Mars. Since neither of these worlds has plate tectonics, scientists set about collecting more data to understand the phenomena, which led to the recent NASA InSight lander. Now, a new paper in Geophysical Research Letters explains how the largest recorded seismic event on Mars provided evidence for a different sort of tectonic origin — the release of stress within the Martian crust. On Wednesday, May 4, 2022, InSight recorded a record-breaking magnitude 4.7 marsquake with an epicenter about 2,200 kilometers away from the lander. The resulting tremors shook the planet for the next six hours. The event was large, but scientists had no reason to believe the cause was anything different from the usual meteoroid impact. After all, InSight had recorded no fewer than eight impact-related quakes, the two largest of which resulted in separate craters about 150 meters in diameter. This new event – cataloged as S1222a – generated a quake energetic enough for the resulting crater to be on the order of 300 meters in diameter with a potential blast zone nearly 200 kilometers wide. This spectrogram shows the largest quake ever detected on another planet. Estimated at magnitude 5, this quake was discovered by NASA’s InSight lander on May 4, 2022, the 1,222nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ETH Zurich All three events had several similarities, including long-period surface waves. There were, however, differences in the wave data types collected. Lead author Benjamin Fernando from the University of Oxford still suspected an impact as the cause of S1222a. He gathered up a team to find the crater, requesting help from a number of organizations, including the European Space Agency, the Chinese National Space Agency, the Indian Space Research Organisation, and the United Arab Emirates Space Agency, all of whom have or had missions in orbit around the red planet. These orbiters have been collecting a wide range of images, covering the entire visible spectrum as well as some near-infrared (Mars Odyssey) and ultraviolet (Emirates Mars Mission and MAVEN) bands. InSight’s seismometer, SEIS, the Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure. Credit: NASA/JPL The team ended up taking several months to search the nearly 144 million square kilometers of Martian surface using low- and medium-resolution images from all of their respective orbiters. No new craters in the correct size were discovered. Nor did they find any signatures of potential new craters such as a dust cloud from the impact or a dark patch representing the expected blast zone. Without the mechanics of plate tectonics, the team concluded that the 4.7 temblor had to have been caused by the “release of enormous tectonic forces within Mars’ interior”. As Fernando explains, “We still think that Mars doesn’t have any active plate tectonics today, so this event was likely caused by the release of stress within Mars’ crust. These stresses are the result of billions of years of evolution; including the cooling and shrinking of different parts of the planet at different rates.” While the imagery ruled out an impact cause for this marsquake, further analysis of the wave data is necessary to understand fully the nature of Mars’ tectonic mechanics, and that analysis is ongoing. Unfortunately, NASA’s InSight reached the end of its mission in December 2022, so now the data collection focus will be on upcoming lunar missions from another assortment of international organizations. We look forward to more collaborations in the quest for understanding our solar system.

Chandrayaan 3's Lunar Landing Tomorrow, And why Luna-25 crashed. Get Live Updates!

Chandrayaan 3's Lunar Landing Tomorrow

The most considerable pride in the nation, Chandrayaan is now all set to create a history for its country and to make everyone proud. The spacecraft is nearer to the moon and ready for a safe and soft landing on lunar space by 23 August 2023.

The landing side is unexplored and it doesn't face Earth hence many called it the dark side of the moon as there must be some unknown elements that could benefit the economy.

The success of Chandrayaan-3 will be a major milestone for India's space program. It will be India’s third lunar mission and its first soft landing on the Moon's south pole. The mission is expected to give noticeable insights into the Moon's geology and history, as well as its potential for future exploration.

Chandrayaan 3 has a very high chance of competing said the chairman of ISRO Madhavan Nair, He explained how this time the scientists took notes from Chandrayaan 2 mistakes which leads to its failure in 2019.

On Sunday, The Indian Space Research Organisation announced that the second and final de-boosting operation for Chandrayaan-3 has successfully completed reducing the orbit of its lander module to 25km x 134km.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is all set to make Chandrayaan 3 a remarkable achievement. The main plan is to design a robust lander-rover duo to journey to the Moon together. The lander's process softly touches down at the Moon's surface, even as the rover rolls out and explores the lunar panorama. But right here's the capture: Chandrayaan 3 will differ from its predecessor, Chandrayaan 2, regarding the orbiter. Alternatively, of having a separate orbiter, Chandrayaan 3 will leverage the present orbiter from Chandrayaan 2. This smart approach helps to save resources and enhances the efficiency of the mission.

Chandrayaan 3's blueprint is based on valuable lessons learned from Chandrayaan 2. In the previous mission, while the orbiter achieved major success by capturing crucial data from the Moon's orbit, the lander faced challenges during the descent and couldn't make a soft landing. As we eagerly look ahead to the project's release and subsequent updates, one component is sure: Chandrayaan 3 will now not best inspire the following technology of scientists and engineers but also contribute considerably to humanity's knowledge of the cosmos.

Why Luna-25 crashed? Russia explains

According to CNBC, The head of the space agency of Russia reported Monday that the Luna-25 spacecraft crashed with the lunar terrain posterior to its mechanisms faltering in their endeavor to properly turn off. In addition, he voiced his stricture towards the nation's prolonged interruption in lunar exploration spanning several decades, attributing it to the unfortunate circumstance. Roscosmos Director General Yury Borisov said the spacecraft's machines were turned on over the weekend to put Luna-25 into a “pre-landing route" but did not shut down properly, plunging the lander onto the moon.

The trial Luna-25 had been listed to land Monday while aiming to come the first spacecraft to touch down on the south pole of the moon, an area where scientists believe important reserves of frozen water and precious rudiments may live.

ISRO Posts Pics Captured By Chandrayaan-3 Weeks Before It Completes Its Journey

Before it lands on the moon, Chandrayaan-3 will perform multiple de-orbiting manoeuvres to bring it closer to the lunar surface so that lander Vikram can land there.

Chandrayaan-3, India’s third lunar mission, has shared fresh images of the moon, which have been posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) by Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro). The combination of images shows Earth as captured by Chandrayaan-3’s Lander Image camera as well as a photo of the moon a day after the spacecraft entered the lunar orbit. Chandrayaan-3 successfully entered into the lunar orbit on Saturday (August 5). It was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota on July 14.

It is expected to land on the moon on August 23.

In the fresh images, Isro has marked craters Eddington, Aristarchus and Pythagoras along with Oceanus Procellarum (Ocean of Storms), one of the large, dark plains on the lunar surface. Oceanus Procellarum is the largest of the “seas”, stretching more than 2,500 km across the moon’s north-south axis and covering an area of roughly 4,000,000 square kilometres.

Before it lands on the moon, Chandrayaan-3 will perform multiple de-orbiting manoeuvres to bring it closer to the lunar surface so that lander Vikram can land there.

According to Isro chief S Somanath, a lander propulsion module separation exercise will be taken up after that, soon after lander “deboost”, a process that slows down the craft. It will be followed by landing on lunar surface on August 23, he explained.

“If everything fails, if all the sensors fail, nothing works, still it (Vikram) will make a landing. That’s how it has been designed — provided that the propulsion system works well,” Mr Somanath told news agency PTI.

Chandrayaan-3 will make India the fourth country after the US, China, and Russia to land its spacecraft on the surface of the moon, demonstrating the country’s ability for a safe and soft landing on the lunar surface.

Future Of Electric Vehicles In India

Future of electric vehicles in India:

Electric vehicles in India have opened ample business opportunities for automobile companies within the country and across the globe. The Indian automobile industry is one of the biggest industries in the world with a total amount of 46 crore vehicles. Pollution conditions in India are going worse, so the Government of India has decided to make India a 100% EV nation by 2030. 

The target is way too ambitious. Even with high investments, state policies and incentives, industry stalwarts explain that India still has a long way to go.

In terms of EV connectivity, Norway has 22 %, China has 2 % and India has only .02 %. For us to talk about full connectivity by 2030 is perhaps too ambitious but 20 % by 2030 is a realistic target.

The demand for electric vehicles is increasing at a much faster rate than ever, it seems the future of electric vehicles in India is going to be superb.

Highlights:

The Indian Government has decided to make India a 100% Electric Vehicle nation by 2030.

Electric vehicles will very soon run at the cost of around 20 to 30 paise per km and can easily attain a top speed of 150km per hour.

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has decided to transfer its Ev battery technology to domestic EV manufacturers, due to this cost of EV will be cut up to 35%.

In the near future, electric vehicles will have a mileage of 700-800 Km per charge.

The government had launched the FAME India scheme way back in 2015 offering incentives on electric and hybrid electric vehicles of up to Rs 29,000 for bikes and Rs 1.38 lakh for cars

Govt. Initiatives for Electric Vehicles

Today, EV is one of the biggest opportunities that we have in India.

Indian Government plans to shift completely to zero-emission cars by 2030. India is witnessing the shift to electric mobility in par with the rest of the world. The sales of the zero-emission vehicles in India have been menial until now but with the government providing subsidies under the FAME scheme and improving charging infrastructure in various cities, the manufacturers are gearing up for the electric revolution. 

This scheme is aimed at incentivizing all vehicle segments i.e. 2 wheeler, 3 wheeler auto, passenger 4 wheeler vehicle, light commercial vehicles, and buses. Under this scheme, about 99,000 hybrid/electric vehicles (xEVs) have been given direct support by way of demand incentives. The government has also approved pilot projects, charging infrastructure projects, and technological development projects aggregating to nearly 24 million dollars.

The future of mobility is clean and sustainable and it is only a matter of time that India makes a bigger splash in the global green mobility market. The World Economic Forum and Ola Electric highlighted that the Indian automobile industry is one of the fastest-growing markets globally, but it still just makes up 0.5% of the global Electric Vehicle market.

Sale of electric vehicles in India grew by 20% at 156,000 units in fiscal 2020 led largely by two-wheelers that form the bulk of the nascent industry. Electric two-wheelers sales stood at 152,000 units during the fiscal registering a 20.7% growth over last year.

Third talk in Exhibit Columbus series explores community and the arts in the American Midwest

In this live conversation by Exhibit Columbus and Dezeen, a panel of experts discussed how cultural organisations and communities can work toward creating equitable civic spaces across the US.

Chaired by Exhibit Columbus director Anne Surak, the discussion featured artist and design strategist De Nichols, architect Paola Aguirre Serrano and artist-writer-researcher Matthew Fluharty.

The panel was the third in a series of live talks hosted on Dezeen as part of Exhibit Columbus' online symposium New Middles: From Main Street to Megalopolis, What is the Future of the Middle City?

Exhibit Columbus is an annual exploration of architecture, art, design and community in the city of Columbus, Indiana.  This year's symposium looks at the designed future of rural and urban areas located in the centre of the US.

The talk, entitled New Middles: Arts and Community, explored the context and conditions in which Midwestern communities currently exist, as well as how these groups are shaping the future of the region.

"As communities across the middle reckon with legacies and presents marked by white supremacy and structural racism, including Jim Crow-era monuments, how can speculation through art and design help people envision equitable civic spaces?" asked the curators.

Exhibit Columbus director Anne Surak will moderate the talk on arts and communities in the Midwest

Surak is a curator and art dealer whose 18-year-long career in the cultural sector has predominantly focused on the production of collaborative projects and exhibitions.

She is the founder of art consultancy firm Art + Space and has worked with clients such as architecture firms Gensler and Smith Group.

Prior to becoming director of Exhibit Columbus, Surak was the inaugural director of Project 4 Gallery in Washington DC, which represents emerging and mid-career American artists.

She is a design activist, social worker and international lecturer who aims to mobilise creative change-makers to address racial injustices within the built environment through interactive experiences, digital media and social initiatives.

In addition to teaching and consulting, Nichols is also the co-organiser of Design As Protest, a collective of designers across the US that seeks to dismantle privilege and existing power structures within the architecture and design industries.

The discussion will also feature architect Paola Aguirre Serrano

Paola Aguirre Serrano has a background in urban design, having received a masters in architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design.

In 2016, she founded Chicago-based collaborative urban research and design practice, Borderless. Serrano's work focuses on interdisciplinary collaboration, city systems integration and participatory civic organisations in Mexico and the US.

Serrano has also taught at nonprofit alternative design school Archeworks, the Sam Fox School at Washington University and the School of the Art Institute Chicago.

This conversation was produced by Dezeen in collaboration with Exhibit Columbus as part of its New Middles online symposium, which takes place from 15 September until 29 October 2020.

For the first talk in the series, which was moderated by Dezeen's founder Marcus Fairs, futurist Dan Hill and Radha Mistry explained the role of strategic foresight and storytelling in design.
