Mars Orbiter Mission

 The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), also called Mangalyaan ("Mars-craft", from mangala, "Mars" and yāna, "craft, vehicle"), is a space probe  orbiting Mars since 24 September 2014. It was launched on 5 November 2013 by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It is India's first interplanetary mission  and it made it the fourth space agency  to achieve Mars orbit, after Roscosmos , Nasa, and the European space agency  It made India the first Asian nation to reach Martian orbit and the first nation in the world to do so on its maiden attempt.

The Mars Orbiter Mission probe lifted-off from the First launch  pad at Satish dhawan space center  (Sriharikota  Range SHAR), Andhra pradesh , using a Polar satellite launch vehicle  (PSLV) rocket C25 at 09:08 UTC on 5 November 2013. The  launch window  was approximately 20 days long and started on 28 October 2013. The MOM probe spent about a month in Earth  orbit , where it made a series of seven apogee-raising orbital Manoeuvres  before  trans-mars injection on 30 November 2013 (UTC). After a 298-day transit to Mars, it was put into Mars orbit on 24 September 2014.

The mission is a "technology demonstrator " project to develop the technologies for designing, planning, management, and operations of an interplanetary mission. It carries five scientific instruments. The spacecraft is currently being monitored from the Spacecraft Control Centre at ISRO Telemetry  , Tracking and command Network  (ISTRAC) in Bengaluru  with support from the Indian deep space network  (IDSN) antennae at Bengaluru , Karnataka.

On 23 November 2008, the first public acknowledgement of an uncrewed mission to Mars was announced by then-ISRO chairman G.Madhavan Nair .The MOM mission concept began with a feasibility study in 2010 by the Indian institute of space  science and technology  after the launch of lunar satellite Chandrayan-1  in 2008. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh  approved the project on 3 August 2012, after the Indian space research organisation  completed ₹125 crore (US$17 million) of required studies for the orbiter. The total project cost may be up to ₹454 crore (US$60 million). The satellite costs ₹153 crore (US$20 million) and the rest of the budget has been attributed to ground stations and relay upgrades that will be used for other ISRO projects.

The space agency had planned the launch on 28 October 2013 but was postponed to 5 November following the delay in ISRO's spacecraft tracking ships to take up pre-determined positions due to poor weather in the Pacific Ocean. Launch opportunities for a fuel-saving Hohmann transfer orbit  occur every 26 months, in this case the next two would be in 2016 and 2018.

Assembly of the PSLV-XL launch vehicle, designated C25, started on 5 August 2013. The mounting of the five scientific instruments was completed at Indian space organisation satellite center , Bengaluru , and the finished spacecraft was shipped to Sriharikota on 2 October 2013 for integration to the PSLV-XL launch vehicle. The satellite's development was fast-tracked and completed in a record 15 months,  partly due to using reconfigured  Chandryan-2 orbiter bus. Despite the US federal government shutdown , NASA reaffirmed on 5 October 2013 it would provide communications and navigation support to the mission "with their Deep space network facilities.". During a meeting on 30 September 2014, NASA and ISRO officials signed an agreement to establish a pathway for future joint missions to explore Mars. One of the working group's objectives will be to explore potential coordinated observations and science analysis between the MAVEN orbiter and MOM, as well as other current and future Mars missions.

The total cost of the mission was approximately ₹450 Crore  (US$73 million), making it the least-expensive Mars mission to date. The low cost of the mission was ascribed by K. Radhakrishnan , the chairman of ISRO, to various factors, including a "modular approach", few ground tests and long (18–20 hour) working days for scientists. BBC's Jonathan Amos mentioned lower worker costs, home-grown technologies, simpler design, and a significantly less complicated payload than NASA's MAVEN.

A.I

A.I. - we all know that the artificial intelligence come soon in the future , it is very useful for human life it's make human life so easier. Many scientists trying to make advance artificial intelligence like Jarvis ,  it's a fictional A.I. in iron man series it's very advanced A.I. which helps iron man in many wars and it also gives him all information ..... but many genius also said that if A.I. become so advance so it also harmful for human life ..... Elon Musk - He said that maybe A.I. will destroy human life that's why his company neuralink developing ultra high Bandwidth Brain this machine interference To connect Humans And computers.... but today's A.I. is not so advance.

Beautiful places in Philippines

 1.   Bohol / Chocolate Hills The Chocolate Hills are a geological formation in the Bohol province of the Philippines. There are at least 1,260 hills but there may be as many as 1,776 hills spread over an area of more than 50 square kilometres. They are covered in green grass that turns brown during the dry season It is  called  the  Chocolate Hills  not because it's made of  chocolate  but because of its color. In the rainy season, the grass blanketing the  hills  gives them a soft and lush appearance. While in the summer, the vegetation dies off and turns to a chocolatey brown hue, giving them their  name . The main viewing point of the  Chocolate Hills  is the government-owned  Chocolate Hills  Complex in Carmen,  Bohol , about 55 km (34 miles) from the regional capital Tagbilaran. 2.  Batad Batad is a village of fewer than 1500 people , situated among the Ifugao rice terraces. It is perhaps th...

what if humans don't have bones ?

  Explanation: Our  skeleton  is a very rigid structure of  bones   which provides support for our muscles, skin and its task is also to protect our vital organs. Whithout the  bone  we would be unable to do anything, beacuse our nerves, blood flow, lungs, organs would be blocked and squeezeed What would our body be like without bones ? Without bones , we  would  have  no  "structural frame" for  our  skeleton, be unable to move  our  skeleton, leave  our  internal organs poorly protected, lack blood and be short on calcium. Can we walk and stand without bones ? Every time we  walk , settle into a chair, or hug your child,  we 're using our  bones , muscles, and joints.  Without   these important body parts,  we  wouldn't be able to  stand ,  walk , run, or even sit. Is there is a person without bones ? When Janelly Martinez-Amador was born  without bone...
