CASE STUDY INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN SPACE: AN INSIGHT INTO INDIAN REGIONAL NAVIGATION SATELITTE SYSTEM “There is beauty in space, and it is orderly. There is no weather, and there is regularity. It is predictable. Just look at our little Explorer; you can set your clock by it—literally; it is more accurate than your clock. Everything in space obeys the laws of physics. If you know these laws, and obey them, space will treat you kindly.” — Wernher von Braun, quoted in 'Space: Reach for the

World War 3 1983 Written by Mikhyl Patel This report will cover how the world as we know it almost ended in 1983 and was saved by one man, Stanislav Petrov. It will also cover whether or not the decision he made, no matter what the outcome, was the right one to make. 1 Introduction Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov, once lieutenant colonel of the Soviet Air Defence Forces. On September 26, 1983, he was the duty officer at the command center for the Oko nuclear early-warning system. This was a tense

Space Debris In 1957, the first artificial earth satellite Sputnik 1 was launch into space [1]. Humans entered the space age. With the development of the space industry, more and more orbital debris is produced. It is becoming a potential hazard now. Increasing amount of space debris attracts each country’s attention. Space experts are trying to find the way to reduce and eliminate the amount of orbital debris. This paper first illustrates what space debris is, the size and the amount of space debris

based customized procedures defined by people who are domain experts and not GIS users. This called for new perception of GIS and people and procedure were included as major interface of GIS system as shown in figure 4.1.1 (b). Figure 4.1.1 (b) 4.1.2 GIS Data Model In order to represent the spatial information and their attributes, a data model – a set of logical definitions or rules for characterizing the geographical data is adopted. The data model represents the linkages between the

Recommendation We did found some internal party of problem for TASCO. Firstly, the employee in different branches of office does not bond well together due to weak communication flow. We suggested that TASCO should transfer the employee to another branches of office for a few weeks. The purpose is to let the employee learning from different branches operations as well as getting recognize the employee from different branches. Besides, the employee may explore more to different places culture or

of the two, and like our own moon are tidally synchronized to Mars (always presenting the same side to Mars). Phobos is gradually losing orbital energy and as a decaying orbit. Which means eventually it will fall into and collide with Mars in about 45 million years. Deimos on the other hand is just beyond Mars geostationary orbit, so it is gradually gaining orbital energy and will only increase its orbital distance over the years. Even though Phobos and Deimos have low self-gravity they themselves

astronomy and produced a paradigm shift to a heliocentric model, but not quite the same. His work retains a large number of elements from the Ptolemaic system which prevented it from being a clear shift, but he does indeed challenge the geocentric and geostationary (that the earth is at rest) assumptions in a move that threatens the core of the Ptolemaic system. Nonetheless, his work did little more than argue from a position with weak

kilometers per second is over 100 million particles of debris. The average bullet only travels at 3,000 kilometers per second. Making bolts, screws, and even paint chips at this hyper speed a devastating threat. And the vast amount of junk floating in our orbit only continues to grow. On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched the first ever satellite, Sputnik into space. A satellite the size of a beach ball weighing at 183.9 pounds, that satellite was the birth of the Space Age. Months following the

The topic of Mars has long been of interest to astronomers and science fiction enthusiast alike. The premise of another planet supporting life excites people like no other. In 2004, The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, began preliminary science experiments and instrument proposals for the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) and a robotic space probe mission to Mars. After long testing and development stages, the mission birthed a rover, Curiosity, which was launched
