It was an all solid Four stage vehicle weighing 17 tons with the height of 22m. It can carry payload of 40Kg and can able to place it at Low Earth Orbit  (LEO). Image: SLV 3 It was successfully launched on 18th july 1980. However it was 1st  launched in  august 1979 but was partially succeed. It successfully placed the RS 1 satellite in its orbit . SLV-3 employed an open loop guidance (with stored pitch programme) to steer the vehicle in flight along a pre-determined trajectory. It was also launched in May1981 and April 1983. It was carrying the Rohini satellite which have Remote sensing sensors. After the launch of 1980, India became member of an exclusive club of space fairing nation.

Determinism and Free Will !

According to Newtonian determinism says our Universe is a big gigantic clock that is ticking every second by Newton's Law of Motion. What we are doing right now or what we will do or what we did is already fixed and already known by Newton's Laws of Motion. Einstein believed in that. He was a determinist. So if these is true than it means if someone does a crime  is not guilty of his work because it has already been decided billions of years ago. Einstein says its true but still they have to put in jail and give them punishment. After that Heisenberg came he said it is all nonsense. He proposed a heisenberg uncertainty principles. He said we don't know where the electron will be. It can be anywhere or many places simultaneously. Einstein hated this Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Einstein said GOD Don't play dice with us, everything is predetermined. But Einstein was wrong. Every time we look on the electron it moves here and there with uncertainty regardless...

What is WORMHOLE ?

Image
W O R M H O L E Wormhole is the one of the possible way we can go from one part of the universe to another part of the universe or to another Universe very quickly. It is a shortcut. It can be understand very easily by taking a sheet of paper. Mark to point on the opposite side of the paper. The Shortest distance between these two points is a straight line joining these two point. There is also an another way to go from one point to another. When we fold the paper such that one point is above other then we can create a shortcut. A shortcut in Space and Time.      Image : virtual wormhole  Today we don't have the technology or knowledge to create this shortcut. May be many years from now we can use this technology to travel in our Universe and Multiverse.

String Theory and Multiverse

We Know Newton's or  Einstein'sTheory Unable to solve the mysteries of the centre of our Universe or The centre of Black Hole, Two Of the Amazing Places of our Universe. Einstein's Equations unable to even reach to solve these problems. So to try to solve these problem the idea of Strings theory came into existence. String Theory can explain the incident even before the Big Bang Theory before the genesis itself.     String Theory tells us that we are not living in the Universe we are in Multiverse.     Einstein's Model of the universe from his equation tells us that we are like insects on the Big Gigantic Soap Bubble. This Bubble expanding and we are trap on this Bubble surface and we cant escape. This is Called Big Bang Theory.    But According to String Theory, there are multiverse, There are also some other bubbles exists. Each bubble is an Universe when two bubble collides it make one complete bubble and when a bubble split up it makes...

Scientific analysis on the concept of Swarg (Heaven) and Narg(Hell) ?

According to all the religion in Our Planet Earth If a Person dies, His or Her soul went to either Heaven or Hell. What is Actually Heaven Or Hell? This question strikes every person ones in their life. Nobody Knows the truth behind this belief. Every Religion have its own Explanations. After having lots of research I have my own Explanations. Lets Consider the Hindu Mythology. In Sanskrit Language our Earth is Called Prithvi LOK, also term like Swarg LOK, Narg LOK, Vishnu LOK, Braham LOK, etc are present in our hindu mythological books. So, Here the question arises what is this 'LOK' mean??? If you Look on this word properly it is very clear that like Prithvi Lok is Actually Our Earth Planet here Prthivi is Earth and the word LOK is Planet. So Prthvi LOK means Earth Planet. Similar it is very clear that,  Swarg Lok is nothing but Swarg planet, Narg Lok is Narg Planet, Vishnu Lok is Vishnu Planet, Braham Lok is Bramas's Planet. These Are The Planet That is Situated somewh...

Why does Astronauts float like Super Man in the International Space Station ?

Even if the Microgravity present in the space, the question comes in Our Mind That why the Astronauts Float In The International Space Station like  Superman. Lets Consider an example, when a person on the earth surface, throw a stone up in the sky with an angle the stone falls on the ground after sometime by following parabola path. Suppose you are falling with the stone. According to Gravitational Law  you and the stone will fall together irrespective of the mass. While you are falling, from your perspective you can see the stone is floating with you. It is similar to free fall. When a skydriver perform a free fall, he can able to do many stunt as he is like floating in the sky. Similarly our space station are kept in such a position in the space that it want to fall but its  like its revolve around our earth. But in reality it is Actually in free fall position. So the Astronauts in the Space station are actually free fall around the earth. It doesn't fall vertically ...

MICROGRAVITY

International Space Station Is 200 to 250 miles away from the earth surface and revolving around the Earth. We Have Seen In many videos that Astronaut are Floating in their. So The Question arise in Our mind, Is there any Gravity up there ? The answer is yes Gravity is Also present in the earth orbital region. This gravity is known as Microgravity. 90 percent of the earth surface gravity is observed up there.  If a person weigh 100 pounds on earth surface then In our ISS it is found that the person weigh 90 pounds.
