  .THE CRISIS IN SPACE. .Wilmore   And   Williams. .Starliner Astronauts. SARASIJ MAJUMDER From Yuri to Neil to our Rakesh---- we have covered many “MILESTONES” in Manned Space Voyages—but still it is not without the associated risks,   dramas and excitements. Currently there are two fully operational space stations – the International Space Station (ISS) of USA, and China's Tiangong Space Station (TSS), which have been occupied since October 2000 with Expedition 1 and since June 2022 with Shenzhou 14. The Russian space station Mir re-entered Earth's atmosphere and was destroyed on March 23, 2001, after 15 years in orbit. The station was deorbited in a controlled manoeuvre and fell into the South Pacific Ocean near Nadi, Fiji.  ISRO aims to construct a 20-ton space station by 2030, intending to support microgravity experiments. It will be a manned Space Station. But now whole world is eagerly waiting for safe return of Sunita, and Wilmore. But, that is still 6 mon

  LIFE ON MARS:ROVER Nasa’s Curiosity Got Scientists Excited SARASIJ MAJUMDER     MARS or MANGAL ( in Indian Astronomy ) can be seen in naked eye, REDDISH, in night, if the sky is clear. It is fourth Planet in solar system, from SUN, after Earth. To the human eye Mars appears red, but the European Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) onboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter reveals a striking diversity of colour. Its blue-hued images are arguably some of the most eye-catching and surprising outputs. I have posted the Image. In Greek Mythology, Ares is the Greek counterpart to Mars and is considered the Olympian god of war. While the Romans borrowed their gods and mythology from the Greeks, there are some distinct differences between Ares and Mars. Ares is viewed as more unruly and impetuous, while Mars was depicted as more prudent in his actions. In Indian Mythology, Mars or Mangala (Sanskrit: मङ्गल , IAST: Maṅgala) is the personification, as well as the name f

  NS YAMAL : STRONGEST SHIP N-POWERED RUSSIAN ICE-BREAKER SARASIJ MAJUMDER   While I was working in “PIPAVAV SHIP YARD”   in the capacity of “CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER”—I was investigating, and bidding   in Oil & Gas Projects of   Arctic parts of North Sea. At that time, I got interested in “ICE BREAKERS” , which would be required to service the OIL, & GAS Platforms located there. And also, for Construction purpose. This area is of immense Engineering interest. I share with you the details of STRONGEST ICE BREAKER of the world, presently owned by RUSSIA. It is a ‘BEAST’ of a SHIP indeed! THE STRONGEST SHIP IN THE WORLD is often considered to be the NS Yamal, a nuclear-powered icebreaker of the Russian "Arktika" class. This formidable vessel is designed to navigate and break through the thickest ice in the Arctic Ocean. It is called “SHARK of the ARCTIC” It is named after the Yamal Peninsula (Northwest Siberia). The name's meaning is "End of the

  REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER What a Leader, and People can do. SARASIJ MAJUMDER   REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER— Arvari river is a small river, may be the smallest, in the ALWAR,   Indian state of Rajasthan. The 90 km.   long river flows through the Alwar District of Rajasthan. It got dried, and   was revived in 1990. It remained dry for 60 years. The turnaround started in 1986, when people of Bhanota- Kolyala village with   the help of Tarun Bharat Sangha, managed by Rajendra Singh, constructed a   JOHAD, (earthen check dam) at the source of the dried river; following this,   villages that lay in its catchment area, and along the dried river bed, they also built tiny earthen dams, the largest being a 244 mt. long and 7 mt. High Concrete dam, most of them were in the Aravalli hills; eventually when the number of dams reached 375, the river started to flow again in 1990, after remaining dry for over 60 years. Villagers talk about Arvari's rebirth as if it was the birth of a chi

  AN INDIAN SCIENTIST & SUPER COMPUTER A STORY OF INDOMITABLE SPIRIT SARASIJ MAJUMDER   Vijay Pandurang Bhatkar, an Indian computer scientist, is popularly known as the father of Indian Super Computer. The Padma Bhushan and Maharashtra Bhushan awardee, Vijay Bhatkr, led the development of Param supercomputers in India. He is the Architect of Super-computing in India where he led the development of  PARAM Super computers, the PARAM 8000 in 1991 and then later the PARAM 10000 in 1998. He is credited with the creation of several national institutions, notably amongst them being C-DAC, ER&DC, IIITM-K, I2IT, ETH Research Lab, MKCL and India International Multiversity. He has been a Member of Scientific Advisory Committee to Cabinet of Govt of India, Governing Council Member of CSIR, India and eGovernace Committee Chairman of Governments of Maharashtra and Goa.   Back in the late 1980’s, India’s Weather Forecasting, particularly on MONSOON, was very poor, and was affecting our

  SHAHPUR KANDI PROJECT RAVI RIVER (INDIAN PART) IS ISOLATED SARASIJ MAJUMDER     Shahpur Kandi Dam Project: TECHNICAL DATA It is located on the Ravi River in Pathankot district, Punjab, downstream from the existing Ranjit Sagar Dam. The water released by Ranjit Sagar Dam is utilized for generating power from this project.  The main purpose behind the construction of this dam is power generation and irrigation in Punjab and J&K States. It is constructed by the irrigation department of the Government of Punjab. The project consists of a 55.5 m high concrete gravity dam, a 7.70 km long hydel channel, two head regulators, and two powerhouses. The total output capacity of the project is 206 MW. Key Facts about Ravi River: It is a trans-boundary river of India and Pakistan. It is one of the five tributaries of the Indus River that give the Punjab (meaning “Five Rivers”) its name. Ori

  The Process of Canning Invented How many knows the name of INVENTOR?? SARASIJ MAJUMDER Which person faded away into obscurity despite being responsible for one of humanity’s most important inventions? Napoleon is credited with saying ——“An army marches on its stomach” The food available to soldiers, circa 1810, in EUROPE, was hard bread and salted meat, which was neither nutritious nor appetizing. Napoleon offered a prize of 12,000 Francs to anyone who could invent a better way to store food for his troops. Chef Nicolas Appert(as in appetizing) rose to the challenge. He perfected a method of putting food in jars, submerging the jars in boiling water to preserve the food, then seal the jars. In other words—- Process of canning was invented. This is perfected as the time, and science progressed.  For his invention, Appert was given a large cash prize by the French government, because his invention of canning was extremely important for the French military in the Napol

  NIKOLA TESLA THE FATHER OF ALTERNATING CURRENT THE FORGOTTEN SCIENTIST IN HISTORY SARASIJ MAJUMDER Nikola Tesla's final photograph, left, shows him thin and haggard, a far cry from the brilliant and confident man he once was. Sadly, Tesla never received the recognition he deserved for his many contributions to science and technology. He died in poverty and obscurity; forgotten by the world he had helped to shape. Nikola Tesla inventions constitute numerous technological breakthroughs throughout his lifetime. Born in Smiljan, Croatia, in 1856, the math and physics genius contributed innovations that continue to impact our lives of daily today. He held over three hundred patents, but was only recognized for some. Tesla was a visionary who dreamed of a self-sustaining world powered by clean, renewable energy. He believed that electricity should be free for all, and he worked tirelessly to develop technologies that would make this possible. However, Tesla's ideas were o
