In 2017, researchers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the foremost lab of NASA for work on inter-planetary travel, had discovered a new bacteria on the filters of the International Space Station (ISS) . They had named it Solibacillus kalamii- in honour of their former associate and the late President of India Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, who was a renowned aerospace scientist. Dr. A.P.J. Kalam was an Indian aerospace scientist and statesman who served as the 11th President of India from 2002 to 2007. He was born and raised in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu and studied physics and aerospace Engineering. He spent the next four decades as a scientist and administrator, mainly at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Dr. Kalam had his early training at NASA in 1963 before he set up India’s first rocket-launching facility in the fishing village of Thumba in Kerala. His immense contributions to the field of aeronautics, which earned him the title of ‘Missile Man of India’. This artwork is a tribute to Dr. Kalam’s scientific prowess in elevating India’s space and defence sectors. Till date, this new bacteria, Solibacillus kalamii, has not been found on Earth. Scientists are still not convinced if it is a form of life from the Earth or elsewhere in the universe. The high-efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA) filter in which the new bacteria was found, remained on board the ISS for about 40 months. Even as it orbits the earth some 400 kilometres above, the ISS is home to many types of bacteria and fungi which co-inhabit the station along with the astronauts.

As Operation Green Hunt expands relentlessly in war It is no secret that the areas where Operation Green Hunt is.

development until the Maoists are weeded out. This typically.
The Home Ministry talks of waging simultaneous opera-.

Organisation (DRDO) declared it is developing technologies.

into service. From 2005 onwards, in the shape of Salwa.
Judum, armed squads of tribals have been created and.
encouraged by the state. 640 villages were razed to the.
ground in this campaign, 1,50,000 people displaced, and.
many women molested and raped. Interestingly, the first.
financiers of Salwa Judum were Tata and the Essar!.

Why Operation Green Hunt?.
.
Operation Green Hunt is underway in the forested regions.
of Chattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra.
Pradesh. These are areas rich in many kinds of resources and.
are home to many tribal communities. The Indian state, however,.
proclaims that they are `infested' with Maoists. But it is no.
coincidence surely that these arenas of war are precisely those.
areas being eyed by corporate interests..

The Nishant's primary roles are battlefield reconnaissance, border surveillance, target tracking/localisation and artillery fire correction, tasks it conducts by day or night thanks to its US-manufactured daylight TV camera and FLIR. The electro-optical system can detect trucks at a maximum range of 5km, and people at 2.5km. One advantage of the Nishant is its ability to launch and land without a prepared runway. It is launched by a mobile hydro pneumatic launcher (MHPL), and is recovered via parachutes and landing bags
