"Touchdown confirmed," exclaimed Mohan, who emigrated from <keyword id="3658" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="India">India</keyword> to the US when she was only a year old. She says the Guidance, Navigation, and Controls Operations (GN&amp;C) are "eyes and ears" of the spacecraft.

Over the course of her career with NASA, Mohan has worked on the Cassini mission to Saturn and GRAIL -- a pair of formation flown spacecraft to the <keyword id="42440" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Moon">Moon</keyword>, and has been a mainstay with the Mars 2020 mission since its beginning in 2013. According to the Mohan, her interest in space was peaked after watching the popular TV show Star Trek when she was 9. "Seeing the beautiful depictions of the new regions of the universe that they were exploring. I remember thinking 'I want to do that. I want to find new and beautiful places in the universe.' The vastness of space holds so much knowledge that we have only begun to learn," she had told NASA. Mohan noted that her passion for space increased further when she took her first physics class. "I was lucky enough to have a great teacher, and everything was so understandable and easy. That was when I really considered engineering, as a way to pursue space," she added. Commenting on her team's role in the current mission, Mohan said during the cruise phase heading toward Mars, their job is to figure out how the spacecraft is oriented, and make sure it is pointed correctly in space -- "solar arrays to sun, antenna to Earth, and maneuver the spacecraft to get it where we want to go." She said during the "seven minutes of terror" leading to the entry, descent, and landing on Mars, GN&amp;C determines the position of the spacecraft and commands the maneuvers to help it land safely. "As the team's operations lead, I am the primary point of communication between the GN&amp;C subsystem and the rest of the project. "I am responsible for the training of the GN&amp;C team, scheduling the mission control staffing for GN&amp;C, as well as the policies/procedures the GN&amp;C uses in the mission control room," Mohan noted.

He added: "We hope this mission will lead to new discoveries about Mars which will benefit humanity."On Tuesday, the UAE mission became the first from an Arab country to reach the red planet, Earth's neighbor. Space experts put the chance of entering Mars orbit at about 50%, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/09/mars-probe-uae-attempts-to-become-first-arab-country-to-reach-mars-with-hope-probe.html">CNBC</a> reported.

The UAE agency planned for it <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/united-arab-emirates-hope-probe-reaches-mars-orbit-2021-2">to orbit the red planet</a> for a full Martian year, about two Earth years, studying the planet's atmosphere, according to <a href="https://www.emiratesmarsmission.ae/mission/about-emm">the agency</a>.

New Delhi, July 8 (IANSlife) Summers are for eating mangoes, watermelons, and other nutrient fruit like apricots. The bright sun improves of Vitamin D and lightens our mood as the sweat detoxifies us making us lose weight. Monsoons are for blissful rainy days and cups of tea with samosa. But this is the time when your skin can break out leading to acute skin problems which can spoil all the fun. Your skin and hair, especially uncovered parts are victim to harsh rays of the Sun, harmful polluted gases and humidity, add to that the woes of wearing a protective mask most times. The situation is aggravated by more sweating which acts like a magnet and attracts the dust particles as well as pollutant. Summers and monsoons have a combination of heat and more sweat which leads to an increase in the skin problems. Dr Swati Mohan, Senior Consultant, Dermatology, Fortis Escorts Hospital, Faridabad shares skin problems and solutions for these months : Dehydration: Hot weather causes water loss from body increases sweating and cause dehydrations Sun-burn: Excessive exposure to sun especially between 11 am to 4 pm can create an acute sun-burn. Dry irritated skin: Even with a hot &amp; humid outdoors air one can have a dry &amp; irritated skin due to culprits like air conditioning, pool &amp; off course sun. Prickly Heat / Heat Rash: Because sweat can not get out it builds under your skin causing itchy tiny bumps because of sweat create a prickly sense which is very troublesome. Skin Allergies: People on antibiotics like doxy, ciproflox (Flu, Antifungal, Anti-depressant like Amitriptyline makes more sensitive to sun &amp; heat. hair dryer, mehendi, perfumes disinfects on sun can create severe rash. Sum sun rashes can induce systematic disease like Lupus Erythematosus, Porphyrias etc. Fungal Infection: Fungal infection is warm and damp environment especially if one wear tight clothes, denims or synthetic clothes for long time. Fungal infections like athlete foot (due to excessive wearing shoes), Jockey Itch (Fungus Infections) are troublesome and need to be treated. The best form of prevention is to drink plenty of water and cooling drinks like lime water, jaljeeras, coconut water and fruit like water melon. Regular shampoo and mild cleansers are best for baths. The use of a fragrance-free moisturiser within 5 minutes of your bath helps keep the moisturiser in the skin. Temperature of air conditioning should be moderated as it makes your room too dry. Use antifungal products or talcum powder, cooling agents like calamine. Protection from sun is of course like most important lotion precaution.
