What will the 2090s look like?

What will the 2090s look like? by Kara Fly

Answer by Kara Fly:

Completely different from how we imagine them to be.

In the late 1800s , a group of French artists illustrated hat they imagined France would be like in the year 2000

Here's a few of the interesting ones:

No one can accurately predict what a society will be like in eighty years time. We can get pretty close though 🙂

Robot cleaners predicted:

( I'm sure there are many other correct predictions, this is just one from the series )

As for my opinion, I think the the future will be a lot like what we have now with way more robots and other technological advances(which , of course, is what these artists thought)

What is the first thing you did with your salary? by Ashish Gambhir

Answer by Ashish Gambhir:

I was placed in Qualcomm. The package was good, but the joining bonus was simply phenomenal.

First salary, 2lac in the account, no girlfriend or wife. So what do you do?

I booked a trip to Europe for my parents.

And there you go, Mom and dad had a trip they recall as the best time of their life.

PS: Dad is too happy when he comes back and buys me an R15 bike. All square 😉

Edit1:

I showed it to my parents people mentioning that my mom is soo pretty. Yes in fact she is. Mom is over the moon after reading it. Dad is really jealous.

And it's not about buying an expensive gift. I just feel proud to have utilized the money I had to gift my parents something they could cherish throughout their life. Their first foreign trip.

How do ISRO employees carry out complex works when most of them have graduated from non-popular Indian engineering colleges?

How do ISRO employees carry out complex works when most of them have graduated from non-popula… by Krishna Enugurthi

Answer by Krishna Enugurthi:

Haha. Very funny question indeed.

To get into ISRO is not a joke. Many scientists working there are actually geniuses in their own field. Once try to know about a institute called IIST from where ISRO takes students directly as scientists(You are inducted into ISRO after completing graduation with some conditions). Many people will be actually dreaming about becoming a space scientist. Also many research scholars from highly prestigious institutions like IISC,TIFR which are well known around the world will also be there in ISRO. If you only have a undergraduate degree you can't get that far in ISRO.

Without Knowledge, Skill cannot be focused. Without Skill, Knowledge may not be applied., In your question you are just underestimating many other colleges in India.

There are some institutions in India specialized for some specific courses like Mathematics, Astronomy, Electronics etc.,

There are more than 30 premier research organizations working under the purview of CSIR.

Also there are these:

1. Indian Institute of Science (Bangalore)
2. National Physical Laboratory (New Delhi)
3. Defence Research Development Organisation (New Delhi)
4. Institute of Physics (Bhubhaneswar)
5. Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (Mumbai)
6. Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (Pune)
7. National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (Pune)
8. Inter-University Consortium for DAE Facilities (Indore) Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (Bangalore)
9. Institute of Mathematical Sciences (Chennai)
10. Centre for Advanced Technology (Indore)
11. Indian Spare Research Organisation- (1) Physical Research Laboratory (Ahmedabad); and (2) Space Physics Laboratory (Thiruvananthapuram)
12. Mehta Research Institute of Mathematics and Mathematical Physics (Allahabad)
13. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (Mumbai)
14. Physical Research Laboratory (Ahmedabad)
15. Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (Kolkata) S N Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences (Kolkata)
16. Raman Research Institute (Bangalore)
17. Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu)
18. Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research (Hyderabad).
19. Indian Institute of Astrophysics (Bangalore)
20. Institute of Plasma Research (Gandhinagar)

What about the above institutions? Not knowing them doesn't make them unpopular. They are popular for those people working in that field. Apart from above institutions many top IITs also conduct research.

If you are thinking that IITs,NITs are the only popular institutes in India then you are completely wrong. Also the induction process in ISRO is too tough. People whom you see on the tv representing ISRO are actually geniuses in their own field. They do research in some fields which we actually can't dream about.

After doing some research about some well known persons in ISRO you can find that they had done their post graduation from some excellent institutions.

It's all about that research thing and the dedication you have to do a scientific work for a country. Yes many of the ISRO's staff are from non popular engineering colleges. Working in ISRO doesn't require a degree from popular institution. If you have the zeal to do research or work in an organisation like ISRO your almamatter won't matter. Only your knowledge and dedication matter. There is no way that because of some mediocre people working in ISRO it is able to compete with other organisations like NASA,ESA etc.,

Once try to know the specializations in space research field. You will almost have to possess godly knowledge in that field to become a good scientist. I am talking about people who design and make decisions in ISRO.

If you think that most of them graduated from a non popular college then you are completely false. Follow the links below.

Remember that research is not a joke.

Good that someone wants to know about this. Many people should be made aware of these things in India. Research should be of the utmost importance in any field.

If not popular make them popular dude, it's good for everyone.

Hoping that ISRO will be successful in it's future endeavours.

Jai hind.

What should everyone know about the ISRO’s PSLV-C37 mission carrying 104 satellites?

What should everyone know about the ISRO's PSLV-C37 mission carrying 104 satellites? by Shrish Singh Thakur

Answer by Shrish Singh Thakur:

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) plans to set a world record by launching 104 satellites on board a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) flight on 15 February. It will be the thirty ninth flight of the PSLV, and its sixteenth flight in the XL configuration, where additional motors are strapped onto the rocket. The main payload is the Indian earth observation satellite, CartoSat-2D. The other 103 satellites are nano-satellites from India, Israel, Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the United States. The 101 foreign satellites are being launched as part of a commercial agreement between Isro and its commercial arm, Antrix.

In the last few years there has been a proliferation of nano-satellites, micro-satellites and pico-satellites. These small satellites are cheap to make and easily configurable. Private companies, educational institutions and space agencies around the world are finding newer and more innovative uses for nano-satellites. The ISRO PSLV-C37 launch has 88 Nano-Satellites from Planet Labs, part of a constellation of satellites that will observe the Earth every day.

Out of the 104 satellites on board, 103 are Nano-satellites. Many are based on the CubeSat standard. The platform was originally developed by Universities in the United States so that students could easily get access to space. The student satellites from Israel’s Ben Gurion University and Kazakhstan’s Al-Farabi Kazakh National University and UAE’s American University of Sharjah (AUS) are all based on the CubeSat standard. The platform has seen widespread adoption by private companies as well, with the 8 Lemur satellites on board being based on the CubeSat standard. Isro is launching two satellites in its own nano-satellite standard, ISRO Nano Satellite (INS).

Why ISRO?

The PSLV does not have the capacity to launch very heavy payloads, but the relatively small rocket is exactly what the world needs right now. Private companies around the world are racing to build smaller rockets to launch the smaller satellites. Space agencies are building racks to house a number of satellites in a single launch vehicle. ISRO already has the capabilities of launching smaller satellites. The proliferation of nanosatellites is ideal for ISRO launches. ISRO can increase the number of satellites in each mission, by packing in an increasing number of satellites into each launch. The “work horse” rocket of the Indian space agency has a flawless record spanning over two decades, and has seen a spike in spaceflights in the XL-configuration lately.

Why “NOT” NASA or SpaceX?

Antrix, the commercial arm of ISRO, provides launch services much cheaper than competition. The US based SpaceX and the French Arianespace or NASA simply cannot compete with the prices that are offered by ISRO. In fact, ISRO provides satellite launch services at such a low cost, that the American private launch industry is threatened by ISRO, and has lobbied for a policy that prevents American companies from using Indian launch vehicles such as the PSLV. However, as the nano-satellites keep getting made, and are more useful in space than on the ground, there are waivers given to companies on an individual basis, to allow them to use ISRO launch vehicles.

The PSLV is reliable, and has failed entirely only on its maiden flight in 1993, and partially in a 1997 flight. A Falcon 9 launch costs $57 million (about Rs 381 crore). A Russian Proton launch costs $68 million (roughly Rs 455 crore). Launches of the Japanexe H-IIA, the Chinese Long March, European Ariane-5 and American Atlas V each cost about $100 million (around Rs 669.2 crore). An Isro PSLV launch by comparison, costs a paltry $15 million (roughly Rs 100 crore). Isro will recover about half of the cost of the PSLV-C37 spaceflight because of the number of foreign satellites on board.
