Chandrayaan-2 Closer to Moon With Orbit Change, Final Orbit Manoeuvre on Sunday

Chandrayaan-2 Closer to Moon With Orbit Change, Final Orbit Manoeuvre on Sunday.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Friday said it has successfully performed the fourth lunar bound orbit manoeuvre for the Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft, that is currently in the lunar orbit for its rendezvous with the Moon. All spacecraft parameters are normal, the Bengaluru headquartered space agency said after the manoeuvre on the spacecraft. 

"Fourth Lunar bound orbit manoeuvre for Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft was performed successfully today (August 30, 2019) beginning at 1818 hrs IST as planned, using the onboard propulsion system. The duration of the manoeuvre was 1155 seconds. The orbit achieved is 124 km x 164 km," the ISRO said in an update. 

The next Lunar bound orbit manoeuvre is scheduled on September 1. In a major milestone for India's second Moon mission, the Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft had successfully entered the lunar orbit on August 20 by performing Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) manoeuvre. There will be one more orbit manoeuvre on Sunday to make the spacecraft enter its final orbit, passing over the lunar pole at a distance of about 100 km from the Moon's surface. 

ISRO has said subsequently the lander will separate from the Orbiter (on September 2) and enter into a 100 km X 30 km orbit around the Moon. 

It will then perform a series of complex braking manoeuvres to soft land in the South polar region of the Moon on September 7, 2019. ISRO Chairman K Sivan has said the proposed soft-landing on the Moon was going to be a "terrifying" moment as it is something ISRO has not done before, whereas LOI manoeuvre was successfully carried out during the Chandrayaan-1 mission. 

The health of the spacecraft is being continuously monitored from the Mission Operations Complex at ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network in Bengaluru with support from Indian Deep Space Network antennas at Bylalu, near Bengaluru, the space agency has said. 

The Chandrayaan-2 satellite had begun its journey towards the moon leaving the earth's orbit in the dark hours on August 14, after a crucial Trans Lunar Insertion manoeuvre by ISRO to place the spacecraft on "Lunar Transfer Trajectory". 

India's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle, GSLV MkIII-M1, had successfully launched the 3,840-kg Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft into the earth's orbit on July 22. 

Following the landing, the rover 'Pragyan' will roll out from lander 'Vikram' and carry out experiments on the lunar surface for a period of one lunar day, equivalent to 14 earth days.  The mission life of the lander is also one lunar day, while the orbiter will continue its mission for a year. The orbiter carries eight scientific payloads for mapping the lunar surface and study the exosphere (outer atmosphere) of the Moon, while the lander carries three scientific payloads to conduct surface and subsurface science experiments. 

According to ISRO, the mission objective of Chandrayaan-2 is to develop and demonstrate the key technologies for end-to-end lunar mission capability, including soft-landing and roving on the lunar surface. 

On the science front, this mission aims to further expand the knowledge about the moon through a detailed study of its topography, mineralogy, surface chemical composition, thermo-physical characteristics and atmosphere, leading to a better understanding of the origin and evolution of the Moon, the space agency had said.

5 Technology Trends to Watch in 2019

5 Technology Trends to Watch in 2019

Technology trends that will influence industries and consumers in 2019 and everyone needs to know.

Disruptive technology trends determine the way the new year will be shaped. They will accelerate and transform many industries at a rapid pace throughout the year. They will shape the world and the future and will be present on the horizon of business owners and investors alike. 

SEE ALSO: CONNECTED VEHICLES IN SMART CITIES: THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION

The intelligent digital mesh is going to include interconnected humans, robots, devices, content, and services all driven by digital transformation. Disruptive technology trends are going to propel the future where technology innovation leaders must evolve and change at the same pace of the trends they must embrace. Or, they could be left behind and suffer a slowly mass extinction.Perhaps the obvious technology to watch closely in 2019 --before we can move on to anything else-- will be 5G. 5G is a necessary technology. Without 5G technology, none of the technologies mentioned below would be possible. Autonomous vehicles, drones, the Internet of Things, and supercomputers could not be possible without 5G networks. 

5G technology is going to improve processing speeds by more than 10 times in 2019. This is the technology that can make possible, for instance, the much expected remote surgery in rural areas. Artificial Intelligence surgery might sound too futuristic to some. However, robot surgeons powered by AI are bringing new innovations and accuracy to the operating room. 

1. Machine Learning will advance Artificial Intelligence (AI) 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) innovations will continue to bring scientific breakthroughs, in part, thanks to the vast amounts of data that new technologies have been collecting and is now available. In 2019, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence will be embedded in the business platform creating and enabling smart business operations. 

In the Artificial Intelligence space, China is going to leave the U.S. behind, emerging as a leader in AI developments and applications.Advances in Machine Learning technology and algorithm training will result in new and more advanced AI. Autonomous vehicles and robotics are the two industries that will see the most rapid developments during 2019. In 2019, there is going to be a convergence of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning in business applications. As AI and learning technologies get to work together in order to reach better results, AI will have greater accuracy at all levels. 

So far, humans have only developed Narrow Artificial Intelligence. A superior AI, though, is in the future of mankind. How far should humans go with AI development is still a subject of controversy. Is this really going to be mankind's last invention? 

2. Quantum Computing (Supercomputing)

Quantum Computing, still an emerging technology, is one of the most fascinating things researchers, organizations, and governments have been working on in this century so far. The race toward building the first fully-functional, fully-working quantum computer (also called supercomputer) is on. With its impressive computational power quantum computers will most like be a cloud service in the near future rather than on-premise machines. IBM is already offering cloud-based quantum computing services. 

The first quantum computer is going to have a significant advantage over the others. In 2019, the competence to achieve supercomputer supremacy will intensify. As a consequence, the last mile in the race will remain mostly secretive, for obvious reasons.

3. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)

Virtual Reality for automotive engineering design/ Image: Susan Fourtané for Interesting Engineering. Advances in Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR), all of which can be summarized in R+, will continue to be at the forefront of attention during 2019 with some fascinating new practical applications for industries. R+, which once was only found in video gaming has been quickly advancing to become a useful tool in industries such as engineering design, manufacturing, healthcare, space exploration, and many others. 

In 2019, Virtual Reality is going to open up to innovative industrial applications that will change how people work and collaborate across geographies. Augmented Reality has been rising in the Virtual Reality's shadow for the past year. But in 2019, AR is set to grow exponentially. 

4. Global Internet of Things (IoT) security breach

Hackers never sleep. Everyone in the cyber security industry knows that. As long as you connect something to the Internet it immediately becomes vulnerable. In the past years, we have seen how hackers have turned to unsecured Internet of Things (IoT) devices to create an extensive botnet which then they could use to push enough traffic to take down Dyn, the DNS provider. As a way to refresh your memory, here is how the DDoS attack using IoT devices happened in 2016.

A quick look at the news tells us that not much has been learned. However, the great number of security breaches occurred during 2018 should serve as an alert of what can happen at a global scale in 2019 if organizations don't take the necessary precautions.  Analyst firm Gartner forecasts that 20.4 billion connected things will be in use worldwide by 2020. And with the rise of autonomous things --I will call this the Internet of Autonomous Things (IoAT)-- there is a good chance that many of these things will show a certain level of weak security. 

In 2019, it will be paramount for IoT manufacturers and all of their supply chain to dramatically increase the security in all the products that come out to market. It can be a connected refrigerator, a robot, a drone, a vehicle, or a health tracker. Manufacturers must implement a level of security that keeps hackers at bay. Otherwise, there is a good chance we are going to witness a global IoT security breach in 2019. 

5. Block chain technology

In 2019, for the delight of organizations, Block chain is going to bring the first enterprise applications in active use. The most innovative corporations will start using Block chain as a way to improve collaboration. Block chain in 2019 comes out crypto currency transaction and becomes an integral part of the business platform. Block chain enables transaction transparency across a variety of business functions. In 2019, Block chain will be present in many industries at the core of business innovation.

HP’s Gamescom Announcements Include a Mad Active Cooling Headset

HP’s Gamescom announcements include a mad active cooling headset

A cooling headset and new gaming hub software were the pick of the bunch at HP’s huge Gamescom launch. HP announced a slew of new hardware, software and services at Gamescom in Cologne including an active cooling headset and ambitious OMEN Command Center gaming hub. Everything announced is currently for the EMEA market only.

From its OMEN line it also introduced the X 27 gaming monitor with a Quad HD 2 (2560 x 1440) resolution and a whopping 240Hz refresh rate, alongside a new keyboard and whole host of accessories. HP’s Pavilion line, a brand usually associated with consumer laptops, was represented with a new gaming desktop and the Pavilion Gaming 15, the first AMD CPU gaming laptop from the company. The latter is expected to cost €599.99 and is an attractive entry point for more causal gamers. 

But the OMEN Mindframe Prime Headset caught our eye with its active cooling feature that takes advantage of larger, redesigned earpads for much more comfortable gaming sessions. The €199.99 headset boasts 7.1 surround sound that creates spatial awareness for heightened accuracy in gaming audio. The price sounds high at first, but once you add in the noise cancellation that is a whole lot of gaming headset for the price. 

HP’s assault on Gamescom is welcome as its gaming products are good quality and between the Pavilion and OMEN brands account for a wide range of consumer interest and price. A sign that it hopes to involve gamers more with its brand is the introduction of OMEN Command Center, software available for any gamer with a Windows 10 PC. 

The Windows Store app provides Coaching, a mode that coaches players through games such as League of Legends. Its aim is seemingly to involve a wider range of gamers in titles that are often intimidating to newcomers such is their scope and learning curve. It uses an AI tool to help players assess their progress while providing tips. 

It will also act as a useful hub for games libraries to display key gameplay metrics and will introduce a rewards system in the US to give gamers incentives to earn prizes while playing games via the software.

High Speed 2 (HS2) Railway Project

The government has announced an independent review into the feasibility of continuing with the costly High Speed 2 (HS2) railway project.

The proposed HS2 track will span much of the length of England in a Y-shaped route, connecting London Euston to Birmingham and forking from Birmingham to Leeds and Manchester. The railway is expected to be able to carry passengers at speeds exceeding 300km/h.

HS2 is currently scheduled to open between 2026 (first phase) and 2032-2033 (second phase). The project has attracted concerns about whether it can be built to its current specifications within its £55.7bn budget, in addition to accusations of London-centrism, and questions about its impact on the green belt (including destruction of ancient woodland), and the likely demolition of hundreds of houses along the route.

Last month, the Transport Minister Baroness Vere told the House of Lords that £7.4bn had already been spent on aspects of the project including public engagement, technical designs and ground investigation work. A Financial Times report stated that HS2 Ltd chair Allan Cook has told the government that the project could cost as much as £85bn in total due to greater engineering costs than planned, poor ground conditions and the expense of running trains at high speed.

Now, the Government has announced an independent review into the future of HS2. The review will be led by former HS2 Ltd chair Douglas Oakervee, with HS2 critic and former chair of the Rail Freight Group Lord Berkeley as his deputy. The review will be completed and delivered to Transport Secretary Grant Shapps by autumn to inform the Government’s decisions on the next steps for the project.

“The Prime Minister has been clear that transport infrastructure has the potential to drive economic growth, redistribute opportunity and support towns and cities across the UK, but that investments must be subject to continuous assessment of their costs and benefits,” said Shapps. “That’s why we are undertaking this independent and rigorous review of HS2.

“Douglas Oakervee and his expert panel will consider all the evidence available, and provide the department with clear advice on the future of the project.”

Oakervee said: “The Prime Minister has asked me to lead this important review into the HS2 programme. I am looking forward to working with my deputy, Lord Berkeley, to advise the government on how and whether to progress with HS2 based on all existing evidence.”

According to the Department for Transport, the review will look into the benefits, impacts, affordability, efficiency, deliverability, scope and phasing of the project.

It will give consideration to possible changes to cut the cost of the project, such as reducing the speed of trains, temporarily switching its London terminus to Old Oak Common instead of Euston, building no further north than Birmingham (which would perceived as a betrayal of the North of England), or adjusting schedules for the extension of the route beyond Birmingham.

Preparatory work will continue in parallel with the review, the Department for Transport said.

The decision to commission a review at this time has been criticised by business leaders and both Conservative and Opposition politicians. Former transport secretary and Labour peer Lord Adonis wrote on Twitter: “[The] HS2 review is about as stupid as you can get & screws Birmingham & the North. Classic Johnson. It throws project into flux & will cause big delays, loss of confidence & cost increases. But HS2 will almost certainly continue afterwards in modified form. What a shambles.” He added that the aim of the review was to be “all things to all people” to keep both supports and opponents of the project on-side in the case of an early election.

Leading figures from the British Chambers of Commerce, London First, the Federation of Small Businesses and the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) backed HS2 following the announcement of the review, with CBI director of infrastructure Tom Thackray stating: “The business message on HS2 is clear cut – back it, build it, benefit from it. The debate has gone round the houses too many times. While it’s always helpful to review major projects like HS2 to ensure that value for money is delivered, the business case is well known.”

Jeremy Acklam, a rail expert at the Institution of Engineering and Technology, commented: “The review is an ideal opportunity to ensure that the majority of the benefits of HS2 accrue for the North of England. Following the support given by PM Boris Johnson for a Trans-Pennine high-speed line, the review can be seen as a springboard for a nationwide strategy for high-speed rail.

“With the UK rail network at record capacity, additional infrastructure investment is urgently needed, particularly as the number of teenagers learning to drive has reduced by 20 per cent over the past 10 years.”

Greater Manchester Mayor and former Labour minister Andy Burnham said that while he was not opposed to the principle of the review, Northerners may be wary of the decision to commission it. “It feels like we are at a critical moment when the Government’s commitment to the North is about to be tested. People here are watching closely and will demand nothing less than the Northern Powerhouse that was promised,” he said.
