Consistent effort key to India's growth in space technology, says ISRO chairman
India has made great strides in space technology and attained global leadership through sheer hard work and consistent effort, V. Narayanan, Secretary, Department of Space, and Chairman, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), said in Tiruchi on Saturday. Addressing the 21st convocation of the National Institute of Technology–Tiruchi (NIT-T), Mr. Narayanan said that the upcoming NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission on July 30 was testimony to India's growing stature in space technology. Speaking about Indian astronaut Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla's journey to the International Space Station this year, Mr. Narayanan said: 'The original launch date was planned on June 11. On the morning of June 10, we understood that the Falcon rocket that was meant to take Shukla ji and three other astronauts to space, had a liquid oxygen leakage in the booster engine. Indians were the ones who raised it and ensured that the launch was called off later that day because we were not convinced by the rocket's safety. After the entire thing was corrected and validated to our satisfaction, the rocket lifted off on June 25. Every Indian and ISRO scientist can be proud that with our education system, our knowledge and ISRO's background, we could stop a launch to ensure the safety of astronauts.' Emphasising the significance of India's space research journey, he said the country launched its 100th space vehicle this year. 'From humble beginnings, India's space exploration has been built on a foundation of resilience and collaboration, steadily evolving into a programme that now plays a critical role in supporting and enhancing various aspects of human life,' he said. He urged the outgoing batch of students to take pride in their educational journey and utilise their knowledge to contribute towards society. In her address, G. Aghila, Director, NIT, TIruchi, said that the launch of the NIT-T Research and Innovation Hub (NITTRIH) and ongoing collaborations with ISRO through the Space Technology Incubation Centre underscored the institution's robust innovation ecosystem. Several international and industry partnerships were formed this year, she added. A total of 2,045 students received their degrees on Saturday. The President's Medal for the highest overall cumulative grade point average (CGPA) was awarded to M. Jayashree of B. Tech, Electronics and Communication Engineering. Institute medals were presented to nine one 23 five and one each of MCA, MBA, and M.A. graduands.

Research On Origins Of Life On Earth, Mars May Pick Up Steam From Ladakh's Hot Springs
Last Updated: A team of Indian scientists has made a pivotal observation linking Puga Valley's unique geothermal activity to the chemistry of early life In the stark, icy high-altitude environment of Ladakh, a natural hot spring located in the Puga Valley is facilitating potentially groundbreaking scientific discoveries. These discoveries could significantly alter our understanding of life's origins on Earth and help in detecting biosignatures on other planets like Mars. A team of Indian scientists from the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences (BSIP), an autonomous institution under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), has made a pivotal observation linking the valley's unique geothermal activity to the chemistry of early life. Traditional theories regarding the origin of life on Earth often focus on silica-based environments. However, the Indian team, led by Dr Amritpal Singh Chaddha, Dr Sunil Kumar Shukla, and Dr Anupam Sharma, has shifted focus to the role of carbonates, especially calcium. They noted rapid carbonate precipitation in the Puga Valley's extreme hot spring environment. Their interdisciplinary study, published in the prestigious journal ACS Earth and Space Chemistry, presents empirical evidence that natural travertine (calcium carbonate deposits) from the Puga Hot Spring can trap and preserve prebiotic organic molecules. The scientists analysed the high-altitude hot spring travertine using advanced techniques such as microscopy, GC-MS-MS, Raman, XRD, IR, and stable isotope geochemistry. They discovered preserved amino acid derivatives, formamide, sulphur compounds, and fatty acids encapsulated within calcite. These findings are crucial because they suggest that calcium carbonate acted as a 'potential natural template for origin-of-life chemistry under extreme Earth-like conditions", effectively concentrating and stabilising organic precursors essential for life. The extreme environment of Puga Valley, with its unique geothermal activity and high UV radiation, is hypothesised to have acted as a real-world 'prebiotic reactor and preservation site". This provides tangible, real-world evidence for phenomena previously explored only in laboratory settings. The insights gained from Puga are not limited to Earth's early history; they have significant implications for astrobiology. Conditions in Puga are thought to be similar to those on early Mars, where comparable hot springs and hydrothermal systems might have supported nascent life. This research, conducted under BSIP's newly formed Earth and Planetary Exploration Group (EPEG), will significantly aid future planetary exploration missions, including those by ISRO, in identifying true biosignatures. By enhancing the understanding of natural biomolecule preservation mechanisms, it also influences the development of new materials and life-detection technologies crucial for astrobiology and synthetic biology, potentially rewriting the playbook for the search for extraterrestrial life. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
