An astrophysicist who inspired the younger generation
On April 23, 2018 the renowned astrophysicist Jayant V. Narlikar gave a lecture on 'Searches for Life Outside the Earth' at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre's Space Physics Laboratory (SPL) in Thiruvananthapuram. He spoke about the possibility of life existing beyond the earth and the challenges in providing experimental evidence for it. On the occasion, he also spoke about one of his experiments using high-altitude balloons that was conducted in collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). One of the three types of bacteria detected in that experiment had since been named Bacillus isronensis after the space agency. 'A visionary astrophysicist' In Kerala, Dr. Narlikar, who passed away in Pune on May 20 aged 86, is remembered as a scientist who inspired countless youngsters in the study of science through his work, lectures and books. In a post on X, former ISRO Chairman S. Somanath remembered him as 'a visionary astrophysicist and distinguished science communicator who inspired my generation through his celebrated works such as The Lighter Side of Gravity and Seven Wonders of the Cosmos.' Dr. Narlikar visited Kerala on several occasions, attending seminars and conferences where he interacted with school and college students. In 2006, a centre of the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), which he founded in 1988, opened at the Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat), Kochi. Initially known as IUCAA Resource Centre, the name has has since been changed to IUCAA Centre for Astronomy Research and Development (ICARD). 'It was designed as an inter-university extension facility to promote astronomy research. He used to visit the centre, discuss the research programmes and collaborations. He visited Cusat in 2016 and 2017. Before that he used to visit at least once a year,' Titus Mathew, a former coordinator of the Cusat centre who is now Professor Emeritus at Cusat, said. In 2019, Dr. Narlikar visited Thiruvananthapuram to accept a honorary doctorate in science conferred on him by the University of Kerala.

Isro flags off second stage of GSLV launch vehicle to Sriharikota
Isro on Saturday announced that the second stage of it's GSLV launch vehicle was flagged off by Chairman V Narayanan recently from the Isro Propulsion Complex (IPRC), Mahendragiri, to the launch complex at Sriharikota. The Directors of Isro Propulsion Complex (IPRC) and Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) also participated in the flag off ceremony which was held on March 24, it said. "This liquid stage is earmarked for the upcoming mission of GSLV (GSLV-F16), that will launch the Nasa-Isro Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite. The launch campaign activities for this mission have already commenced at Sriharikota in the first week of April 2025," Isro said, in a statement. Also, a short duration hot test of the semicryogenic engine was successfully conducted at the test facility in Isro Propulsion Complex (IPRC) at Mahendragiri in Tamil Nadu, the space agency said on Saturday. This ignition test conducted on April 24 is the second milestone after the successful first hot test on March 28, 2025, that was a major breakthrough in the testing of the Semicryogenic engine test programme, it said. In a statement, Isro said, this test, the Engine Power Head Test Article, encompassing all engine systems except the thrust chamber, was subjected to a hot test for a duration of 3.5 seconds, that validated the engine start-up sequence. "During the test, the engine was successfully ignited and operated up to 60 per cent of its rated power level, demonstrating stable and controlled performance," it said. According to Isro, these tests are part of a planned series of evaluations designed to validate the design integrity and performance of critical subsystems, including the low-pressure and high-pressure turbo pumps, pre-burner and associated control systems. The results provided crucial data to finalise the operational sequencing of the full Semicryogenic engine. "Further qualification tests are scheduled to comprehensively validate the engine system, ultimately paving the way for its induction into Isro's launch vehicles," it added.
