Thanks to recession.

During recession I was supposed to move to Kerala for project purpose, but really I don't like to go over there. My Company gave two options for me
Option a--take a kerala offer and work there at-least for one year.
Option b--Forced to quit job.
Who will like to accept the second option. As a normal man I want money to survive in this society. So I chose first option. First time after 23 years I felt like ill-literate because I don't know malayalam. I don't like to step out from my room. When I step out I must depend on others. It's very hard to understand what they are speaking.
Some good hearted person really helped me to survive in the jungle. They thought some basic words after I got some energy. I tried to speak their local language, but I still depend on others to ask about that which bus is going to which place and what's the name mentioned in the bus board. Badly I need others help to travel outside.
I found a book in book stall. That book really played major role in those periods I started to learn malayalam with the help of that book. Even I tried to read that local language. At last I learned to read the local language still I don't have faith on me. Whether am I reading is right or wrong. So I asked the room boy who works in that lodge.
While reading he started to laugh because I read like a child. Unfortunately I read correctly. That boy corrected some mistakes also he taught me to read some difficult words. At-last I got proficient in that language. I started to read the bus boards without others help. I am proud of myself I am not illiterate and I am no more illiterate.
I spend nearly 10 months over there and I started to like their culture, but my project work got completed and the market also started to recover. So I came back to chennai with hard heart. Thanks to recession because of this only I went to that kerala state and I got chance to know their culture and also got chance to learn their language.

Atmosphere

The first atmosphere formed when the earth had just formed.Before 4.4 billion years ago the second
Second Atomosphere was formed.By that time the earth had cooled down to form crust and volcanoes.

After 3.3 billion years ago,the third atmosphere was formed.we are currently living in this atomosphere.

Dont ask me when the 4th atmosphere will form.
Only god knows about that.
If i come to know the answer from god surely i will post it in this blog.
Just kidding...
Okay lets crack the earth's third atmosphere.
There are five layers in the earth's atmosphere.The layer are as follows
1)Troposphere
2)Stratosphere
3)Mesosphere
4)Thermosphere
5)Exosphere

Troposphere
Troposphere is the lowest layer of earth's atmosphere.This layer is most dense and contains water vapour.
It starts from the earth atmosphere and extend upto 15km.The temp in this layer ranges from 17 to 52 degrees celsius.Tropopause is the region between the troposphere and the stratosphere.

Stratosphere
This layer is less dense compared to the Troposphere.It starts just above the troposphere and extends upto 50km.Mostly 99% of air located in Troposphere and stratosphere layer.Ozone layer present in this layer.It contains o3 molecules.The stratopause separates the stratosphere from the next layer.

Mesosphere
It starts above the stratosphere and extends upto 85km.In this region the temp fall as low as -95 degree celcius.The mesopause separates the mesophere from the thermosphere

Thermosphere
This layer starts from mesopause and extends upto 600kms.Due to sun energy the temp increases as you go up.The temp in this region is about 1,727 degrees Celsius.Chemical reaction occur faster in this region.This layer is called upper atmosphere.The boundary between this layer and the Exosphere is called the Thermopause.

Exosphere
This layer starts from Thermopause and extends upto 10,000kms.The Exosphere is the final layer of the Earth's atmosphere.

Reusable Space Shuttle

            You may came across many sites explains about the reusable space shuttle but here you can feel the difference. I tried my level best to collect more information about reusable space shuttle.Don't wait here you go for the information about the reusable space shuttle.
             As we all know the first reusable space shuttle was launched in 1981 by the Space giants US.In Spacecraft history it can carry large satellites to and from orbit.The shuttle launches like rocket and lands like an airplane.Discovery,Atlantis and Endeavour are the space shuttles now in operation.
Space Shuttle                   Delivered Year 
Columbia                           March 1979
Discovery                          November 1983
Atlantis                              April 1985 
Endeavour                        May 1991


Orbiter:
             It is the sole controller of the space craft.In short we can say it is the brain as well as the heart of the Space Shuttle.It contains the latest advances in flight control, thermal protection, and liquid-rocket propulsion and it also composed of pressurised crew compartment, the huge cargo bay and the three main engines.
The crew cabin has three levels: 
1)The flight deck--where the commander and pilot control the craft
2)The mid-deck--the galley, toilet, sleep stations, and storage and experiment lockers where found
3)The utility area--for air and water tanks.
External Tank:
                        Its  length of 47 m (154 ft) and a diameter of 8.4 m(27.5 ft).External Tank are made from aluminum alloys, During the first 8.5 minutes space shuttle consumes the fuel of about 1.99 million litres (526,000 gal) .
                        The space shuttle's external fuel tank is the only part of the launch vehicle that currently is not reused. 
Solid Rocket Booster(SRB):
                         There are two SRB's are used in the space shuttle.It provide most power for first 2.5 min of flight.The SRBs take the space shuttle to an altitude of 45 km (28 mi) and a speed of 4973 km/hr (3094 mph) before they separate from Space Shuttle.
                           Normally mission has been planned from 5 to 16 days in duration.But STS 80 stayed in orbit for 17.5 days on a single mission.The smallest crew ever to fly of 2 members and the largest crew member of 8 members.

No Chances of Alien Life

After a very long time i am meeting all my friends through this post.While surfing the net i came to know the sensational news as well as very hot news.So i thought to write the blog after a long long time.Here you go for the hottest news.A leading US Astronomer Mr.Howard Smith revealed the truth that there is no hope of finding alien life in space because all other planets discovered so far is hostile to human life.

Mr.Howard Smith is a senior astrophysicist at Harvard University.He strongly believes humans are alone in the universe."We have found that most other planets and solar systems are wildly different from our own," he says. "They are very hostile to life as we know it."

Next few weeks NASA's Kepler satellite telescope is expected to confirm the existence of hundreds of newly discovered planets.Other scientists remained confident and they are not ready to lose their hopes.But Smith insists extrasolar planets are too different from our own and even if they did support life it would be impossible for us to contact it.

He also said the newly discovered planets are 1,250 light years out from our planet communicating would still take decades or centuries.

HYSI Camera

The acronym for HYSI is Hyper-Spectral Imager. The HYSI camera is used in Chandrayaan-1 Probe. The main objective of the Chandrayaan-1 HYSI is to conduct mineralogical mapping of the lunar surface. The data collected from this instrument is used for our Indian researchers to conduct test and it also used to improve the available information on mineral composition on Moon.

The HYSI has capability of mapping the lunar surface in 64 colors. The wedge filter in the HYSI camera is used to split the light into 64 colors. The spectral bands is mapped by using an Active Pixel Sensor (APS) with built in digitizer. To reduce the weight and to get compactness of the system the wedge filter is used in HYSI camera.

The HYSI is able to capture the color images which is used to detect the difference between the minerals found on the moon surface. Its payload mass is upto 4kg and its size is 275 mm x 255 mm x 205 mm.

Difference between HYSI and M3:

ISRO’s HYSI Space Applications Centre (SAC) and NASA's Moon Mineral Mapper(M3) both are used to investigate the mineralogical composition in Moon surface.

But NASA's M3 can analyze the wavelength in the range of 0.4-0.3 microns while ISRO's HYSI can analyze upto 0.43 microns to 0.96 microns. It can analyze the wave lengths from visible to near infrared spectrum.

Veteran tracked lost tool bag

The tool bag lost by space walkers is tracked by
satellite observers and by veteran observer. In Canada,a
veteran satellite observer,Kevin Fetter from Brockville
has spotted and filmed the tool bag using his backyard
observatory. Already last tool bag information is
published in this blog. just click lost in space. Fetter published
the video on you tube. In an email interview, Fetter said his find
had little to do with luck and he had planned to capture the tool
bag on video as it was "something new in orbit".

Fetter used a $900 Celestron Nexstar 102 SLT
telescope fitted with a high-resolution camera, which
was in turn connected via a networking cable to his
computer.

NASA said it was the largest item lost in
space. It weight is around 30 pounds (14 kg) and the cost
of the tool bag is about $US100,000.

why cost of the tool bag is $US100,000?

NASA spoke person Mike Curie said these
equipments are not available in local hardware
store. They are specialized hardware and able to work
properly in vacuum and withstand temperature varies from
+200 degrees F (93 C) and -200 degrees F (-128 C).The
lost bag contained two grease guns, a scraper tool, a
large trash bag and a small debris bag.

Nicholas Johnson, chief scientist for orbital
debris at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston
said,"We currently predict that the errant tool bag will
fall back to Earth in June of next year and he expects
the entire tool bag will burn up."
