Comment on the statement highlighting various milestones achieved by ISRO over the years. <br />A.Milestones in the Journey of ISRO:<br /> 1960’s and 70’s programme were initiated for the development of indigenous launch vehicles, <br /> 1980 - 1990’s was dedicated to the development of (PSLV) and (GSLV).<br />1975:‘Aryabhatta’ <br /><br />1979:SLV3<br /> 1980, ‘Rohini’, was the first satellite placed into orbit by the Indian SLV-3.<br />1993:PSLV was first launched <br />2014:GSLV D5 successfully launched GSAT-14 into its intended orbit putting India into the elite ‘Cryo Club’.<br />Satellites launched by ISRO for national benefit include:<br />INSAT Series: telecommunication, broadcasting, metrology and search and rescue <br />IRS Series:the largest Remote Sensing constellation for civilian use in operation in the entire world.<br />RISAT Series: to obtain high resolution data.<br />GSAT-16:direct-to-home (DTH) television broadcast <br />Kalpna-1: ISRO's dedicated Metrological satellite<br />IRNSS Series: independent regional satellite system <br /> 2008:Chandrayan-1<br />2013: Mangalyan <br />2015:ASTROSATpashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320248412236208105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414102256417016270.post-49712845311650368782016-01-22T22:37:37.154+05:302016-01-22T22:37:37.154+05:30 the catch lies in the ability to capture, analyze... the catch lies in the ability to capture, analyze, and act on the data that can be collected. pashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320248412236208105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414102256417016270.post-51747811960593043662016-01-22T22:36:48.977+05:302016-01-22T22:36:48.977+05:307.

In 2008 the internet is being used more by electronic appliances than by the humans. Hence, it came to be known as Internet of things. Internet of Things is going to have a great impact on the society.<br />SOCIAL IMPACT:<br />1. there will be reduction in jobs. With the use of sensors in the appliances , the dependence on humans to get the work-done reduces. Hence the unemployment will be high.<br />2. Everything will be automated. Hence it improves efficiency.<br />3. It will have positive impact in the field of health. For instance, if any person faces heartattack in the midnight the devices used to sense the health parameters will send the information to the doctors and in no time the ambulance will be there at home. Here no third party intervention is needed.<br />INDUSTRY:<br />The application of this technology can reduce maintenance costs by up to 25%, cut unplanned outages by up to 50%, and extend the lives of machines by years.pashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320248412236208105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414102256417016270.post-88408575023302998222016-01-22T22:06:24.528+05:302016-01-22T22:06:24.528+05:30it should be NAVSAT.it should be NAVSAT.pashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320248412236208105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414102256417016270.post-44318925017962403632016-01-22T22:05:53.321+05:302016-01-22T22:05:53.321+05:305.

IRNSS is an acronym for Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System.It is Indian centric SATNAV system developed by ISRO as an alternative to GPS. The indegenous SATNAV system is crucial to reduce the overdependence on US's GPS. Moreover, the GPS products offers services to civilan purpose and much less to the military services. To overcome the loopholes in GPS where it's performance goes poor during the bad weather conditions, or in the areas of high buildings.Aiming to be superpower of this century she should have her own foothold in all fields. Hence it is the need of the hour to have our own regional navigation satellite system rather than depending on GPS.pashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320248412236208105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414102256417016270.post-85962336284438237952016-01-22T15:44:14.861+05:302016-01-22T15:44:14.861+05:304.

Global Positioning System is a navigation system developed by USA early in defence purpose. Later it was opened for civilian usage also.<br />It consists of constellation of 24 satellites which sends 3 pieces of data to the receiveer on the earth.<br />pseudorandom data piece:- to identify which satellite is it.<br />ephermeris data piece: consists of imporant info about the position and time of sat.<br />almanac data pieve: it tells where each sat should be at any time of the day.<br />All these 3 data pieces are receive by the receiver(user), through which he can locate his position on the eartth. A min of 2 sat are needed to locate 2D view of the user. However 3D pictures can be send using min of 4 sat .pashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320248412236208105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414102256417016270.post-16569831745218054052016-01-22T14:58:19.966+05:302016-01-22T14:58:19.966+05:301.

Satellite navigation sys is a series of satellites placed in particular orbits . These sat sends their orbital positions and time to the receiver on the earth. With these info the receiver can locate where his position on the earth. Currently there are only 2 in opertation GPS(US) and GLONASS(RUSSIA).pashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320248412236208105noreply@blogger.com
