Kalpana Chawla will be the company’s next Cygnus spacecraft to make its way to the International Space Station (ISS). “It is the company’s tradition to name each Cygnus after an individual who has played a pivotal role in human spaceflight,” Northrop Grumman said in a statement. The spacecraft is tentatively scheduled to launch from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Wallop Flight Facility in Virginia on September 29. The S.S. Kalpana Chawla will deliver 3,629 kilos of cargo to the ISS that will be loaded onto the spacecraft 24 hours before liftoff. <div type="image" title="kalpana1_edited" msid="78018755" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Astronaut Kalpana Chawla, STS-107 mission specialist, prepares to simulate a parachute drop into water during an emergency bailout training session in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) near the Johnson Space Center (JSC)&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The spacecraft is not the first time that Chawla has been honoured for her contribution to space. In 2003, shortly after Chawla’s death, India’s Prime Minister at the time — Atal Bihari Vajpayee — renamed the MetSat-1 to Kalpana-1 in her honour. NASA has also named a supercomputer after Chawla. It was the world’s first single-system image (SSI) Linus supercomputer. In 2004, it was integrated, as the first node, into the 20-node Columbia supercomputer. <div type="image" title="Columbiahills_edited" msid="78018945" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;NASA&amp;#39;s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit spots Columbia Hills&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> On the Red Planet, a chain of seven peaks dubbed the Columbia Hills are each named after the astronauts that perished in the Columbia disaster — one of which is Chawla’s namesake. Who was Kalpana Chawla? Kalpana Chawla was born and brought up in Karnal. She moved to the US after getting her bachelor’s degree in aeronautical engineering from India’s Punjab Engineering College in 1982. Two years down the line, she received her master’s degree in aerospace engineering and continued to pursue her doctorate. Chawla embarked on her career with NASA at the Ames Research Centre in California in 1988, but left for a brief period, before returning as an astronaut candidate in 1994. <div type="image" title="kalpana3_edited" msid="78018690" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;STS-87 Mission Specialist Kalpana Chawla sits in her launch and entry suit in the Operations and Checkout Building before she and the five other crew members of STS-87 depart for Launch Pad 39B. This was Chawla&amp;#39;s first mission for NASA.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Her first space flight was the STS-87 on Space Shuttle Columbia in 1997 as a mission specialist and primary robotic arm operator. She returned to space again in 2003 aboard the Columbia for a 16-day research flight during which the crew of the STS-107 performed nearly 80 experiments studying Earth and space science. <div type="image" title="kalpana4_edited" msid="78018725" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;STS-107 Mission Specialist Kalpana Chawla scans paperwork for equipment at SPACEHAB at Cape Canaveral in Florida during crew training&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> However, during her second stint through space, Chawla and her six crew members on the STS-107 perished on 1 February 2003 as the spacecraft was reentering the Earth’s atmosphere. Why did Kalpana Chawla’s spacecraft crash? During the launch of the STS-107, a piece of the foam insulation from the space shuttle’s external tank broke off and hit the left wing on the orbiter. <div type="image" title="STS107_edited" msid="78018844" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Space Shuttle Columbia takes off on mission STS 107 on 16 January 2003 with Kalpana Chawla and six other crew members on board&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> When the spacecraft re-entered Earth’s atmosphere, the damage allowed hot atmospheric gases to get inside and destroy the internal wing structure. This left the spacecraft unstable, and as it came down towards Earth — it broke apart. After the disaster, space shuttle flight operations were suspended for more than two years. <div type="image" title="debirs_edited" msid="78018888" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Columbia main engine powerhead recovered from Fort Polk in Louisiana&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/space/news/musks-spacex-completes-first-polar-orbit-in-off-shore-landing-by-falcon-9-booster/articleshow/77845337.cms">Elon Musk owned SpaceX completes its first polar orbit mission as Falcon 9’s booster nails off-shore landing</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/space/news/isro-chandrayaan-1-and-nasa-spot-rust-on-moon-earth-atmosphere-could-be-the-reason-why/articleshow/77926459.cms">ISRO's Chandrayaan 1 spots rusting on the Moon — NASA scientists believe Earth's atmosphere could be the reason why</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/space/news/nasa-congratulates-indian-scientists-for-discovering-one-of-the-farthest-galaxies-in-the-universe/articleshow/77883347.cms">NASA congratulates Indian scientists for discovering one of the farthest galaxies in the universe</a>

One of them is an Indian-American Raja Chari who underwent two years of gruelling training to receive his silver pin from the Johnson Space Centre in Houston. "We're trying to get to the moon to stay by 2024, and we have the technology to do that. We're working on getting the resources to do that, and it's gonna take a lot of work, it's not going to be easy. We won't be assigned missions for a while but in the meantime we'll be helping all around Johnson Space Centre with different offices that are working on getting us to the moon,” Raja Chari told IANS. The Artemis programme aims to put a man and a woman on the moon in 2024, establish sustainable moon missions by 2028 and ultimately send astronauts to Mars. After the selected astronauts go into space, they will exchange silver pins for gold in lines with the NASA tradition. Third Indian-American to join NASA Chari is the third Indian-American astronaut to join NASA after Kalpana Chawla and Sunita Williams. Space scientist Chawla was born in Karnal, Haryana, and immigrated to the US. She was tragically killed on her second space mission when Space Shuttle Columbia broke in 2003. She had participated in another mission on the same shuttle in 1987. Williams, a navy officer, has served as the commander of a International Space Shuttle expedition in 2012. She had been on three other missions, and one of them as flight engineer. ‘Education is privilege not a right’ NASA selected Chari for the 2017 Astronaut Candidate Class. He graduated from the US Air Force Academy with bachelor's degrees in astronautical engineering and engineering science and went on to earn a master's degree in aeronautics and astronautics from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Chari’s father, he says, taught him the value of education. "One thing from India that he brought with him was that school and education is a privilege, it's not a right. And that was something that was very, very much enforced in our house and we never took for granted the fact we got to go to school,” he said. The 42 year old also served the forces after he graduated from the Navy's Test Pilot School. He is also a colonel in the US Air Force and served as the commander of the 461st Flight Test Squadron and as the director of the F-35 Integrated Test Force.

<keyword id="6354616" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Twitter">Twitter</keyword> has said it will start writing improved headlines and short descriptions for some of the trends on its platform to make those less confusing for the users. The micro-blogging platform said earlier this month that it will add pinned Tweets and descriptions on trends to help explain why something is trending on its platform. "More trend updates, even more context. We'll now add improved headlines and short descriptions to some Trends, so you can get the rundown on why something's trending when you're in the Explore tab or you tap into a Trend," the company said in a tweet on Tuesday. In the coming weeks, Twitter users would see brief descriptions added to some trends as well to help add context to the trending topics. The idea is to make Twitter's Trending section feel more like a newspaper experience. Descriptions are developed by Twitter curation team and follow guidelines. Descriptions on trends will be available on twitter.com and Twitter for iOS and Android. According to the company, a combination of algorithms and the curation team determine if a Tweet represents a trend by evaluating if the Tweet is very reflective of the trend and popular. "Our algorithms are designed to identify representative Tweets that aren't potentially abusive, spam, or posted by accounts trying to take advantage of our system," Twitter said. Representative Tweets and descriptions on trends will be available in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Egypt, France, India, Ireland, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States. Descriptions will provide straightforward, clearly sourced context around why something is trending.

The Centre is willing to provide further borrowing flexibility to states to help break the deadlock and allow their participation in the new <keyword id="2600993" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="GST-compensation">GST compensation</keyword> formula put on the table. Government sources said that the unconditional borrowing limit for states could be raised by another 0.5 per cent if they agree on the new GST compensation options suggested by the Centre. Under Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) Act, states are allowed to borrow up to three per cent of gross state domestic product (GSDP) to bridge the fiscal deficit. An additional, two per cent borrowings with both conditional and unconditional elements has been added recently under the Atmanirbhar Bharat package. With Covid-19 inflicted revenue shortfall and rising GST compensation load, the Centre has given new options to compensate states for shortfall in their revenue due to GST switchover. The two options given by the Centre under the Atmanirbhar Bharat package allows flexibility to the states to make additional borrowings to meet their shortfall in GST compensation with the Centre repaying the states in full by levying compensation cess beyond the five year transition period that ends in June 22. While states have been asked to give their views on the compensation options suggested by the states soon, so that the new mechanism could be rolled out, some states have shown reluctance to be part of the suggested options and want that it should be the Centre that should borrow to meet compensation shortfall rather than putting the burden on states. "Centre is willing to unconditionally relax another 0.5 per cent under the FRBM window over what has already been provided under the options (while keeping the borrowing within the Atmanirbhar Bharat package limit of up to 200 basis points of GSDP) for states if they agree for the first option on GST compensation suggested by the Centre," government sources said. What this would mean that the four specific reform linked instalments of 0.25 per cent borrowing allowed under the Atmanirbhar Bharat package would be converted into just two while additional 0.5 per cent borrowing would be made unconditional. This would mean that under option one, the state will get an unconditional additional browsing limit of 1.5 per cent over the three per cent FRBM target. The first option given by the Centre over GST compensation allows states to borrow, under a special dispensation from the RBI, a sum of about Rs 97,000 crore being the shortfall calculated by the Centre that is directly on account of GST implementation. The borrowing under the first option will not be treated as debt of the state and they would also be permitted to avail full additional borrowing limits given under Atmanirbhar Bharat package unconditionally. Under the Atmanirbhar Bharat package states are allowed unconditional additional borrowing of 0.5 per cent of GSDP (over and above three per cent allowed) performance or reforms linked borrowing of one per cent in four reaches of 0.25 per cent each and an additional 0.5 per cent borrowing on completing three out of four reforms. If the states come on board with the latest offer, this would keep the overall borrowing limit of states at five per cent of GSDP but allow states flexibility to borrow unconditionally over Rs three lakh crore in FY21. On a total GST compensation need of about Rs three lakh crore in FY21, the Centre expects to collect Rs 65,000 crore from the GST compensation cess. The shortfall in GST compensation is estimated at Rs 2,35,000 which the Centre wants the states to bridge through borrowings under the two options suggested by it. But the Centre is keen that its first option is accepted as it would put a lesser burden on the market and bond yields due to extra borrowings.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Northrop Grumman launched a cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station at 9:16 p.m. ET on October 2.</li><li>An enterprising photographer from Philadelphia managed to record the 14-story rocket flying in front of a nearly full moon.</li><li>Professional launch photographers believe it's one of the first such moon-transiting rocket-launch photos in two decades.</li></ul>Minutes before liftoff of a NASA rocket mission on October 2, Steve Rice realized he was in the wrong place for a photographic fantasy he'd waited years to make real.Rice, a 33-year-old Texas native who calls Philadelphia home, had documented about half a dozen space launches up-close. But to challenge himself and record a unique perspective of spaceflight, Rice committed to, one day, taking photos and video of a rocket flying in front of the moon."It's been in my mind for a long time as a fantasy, because — living up here — I don't get too many launches" near home, Rice told Business Insider. "One of my favorite things to shoot is the space station transiting the moon or the sun through my telescope. So the thought of the rocket going across the moon has been on my mind. But I never thought there'd be an opportunity to do that."Yet Rice saw his chance when Northrop Grumman announced it'd fly the Cygnus NG-14 cargo resupply spaceship, dubbed the "S.S. Kalpana Chawla," from NASA's launch facility at Wallops Island, Virginia, a three-and-a-half-hour drive away. The mission was to fly 5,000 pounds of air, food, water, spacesuit parts, and scientific experiments — including a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/toilet-nasa-orion-spaceship-moon-mission-odor-control-problem-2020-9">$23 million titanium space-toilet prototype</a> — to the International Space Station.Photographing anything fast <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/solar-eclipse-space-station-nasa-photos-video-2017-8">flying past the moon</a> requires a combination of luck, planning, and skill, due to the heavenly body's small relative size (roughly that of a thumbnail on an outstretched arm) and constant motion. Doing so with rockets require an excess of all three virtues, though, due to additional challenges of geography, weather, curved flight paths, and fickleness.In September, for example, nearly all orbital-class launch attempts from US soil were scrubbed. The Cygnus spacecraft launch on an Antares rocket was no different: Eighteen seconds before planned liftoff on October 1, the mission was postponed due to a ground control equipment problem, NASA said.Rice had driven out for that attempt, losing most of a day and a lot of gas money in the process. He said he wasn't sure he'd try again for the next attempt, the following day at 9:18 p.m. ET."My brother and his girlfriend were visiting from Atlanta for the week, and I'm the crazy guy who wants to abandon them at night, and go drive three hours down to maybe see a launch," Rice said.But he got in the car.He was too committed to the idea, having studied weather forecasts, researched shooting alignments and settings with specialized apps (like <a href="https://www.photoephemeris.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Photographer's Ephemeris</a> and <a href="https://flightclub.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Flight Club</a>), and pored over maps to stake out the perfect spot: the shoulder of a road near a corn field 3.4 miles from NASA's launch pad. From there, he calculated, the moon would be rising above the eastern horizon, to align perfectly with the rocket's path to orbit about 22 seconds after liftoff.With "a big stroke of luck," he said, he could fit the rocket's 139-foot-tall frame inside a barely waned full moon.With just 16 minutes left in the countdown, though, Rice triple-checked his location — and found himself setting up his gear thousands of feet from where he was supposed to be."I used a map to count telephone poles from intersections, since there weren't any other discernible details," he said. "But at night, it was difficult to find the right spot, and I was set up at the wrong near the wrong telephone pole ... I had to throw everything back into the car and drive down the road to the right spot and get set up again."He pulled off the road near the correct telephone pole, then put up a tripod and camera with a 300-millimeter telephoto lens he'd bought on Ebay for $20. Ten feet away, he erected another tripod with a camera, this one with a small telescope attached to it, hit the video-record button, and jogged back to his still camera.Shortly after seeing the light of the launch, he held down the camera's shutter — what he called the "spray and pray" method — in hopes of getting some frames of the rocket's journey toward space. Moments later, the machine thundered across the moon, right where it was supposed to be.<h2>Watch a 14-story rocket journey across the moon</h2>The nine images Rice <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CF7lRLoJBfH/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared on Instagram</a>, embedded above with his permission, show the full, stunning sequence of pictures."This was the only time I've actually shouted after getting the shot," Rice said, including some "undisclosed" curse words. "I was out alone on the side of a road next to harvested cornfield."But Rice said the video he recorded, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clC0yO3LZGk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">uploaded to YouTube</a> and embedded below with his permission, made him even more giddy than the still photos.The footage, shot in 4K ultra-high resolution, shows the explosive shockwaves of two fuel-devouring Russian rocket engines emanating into the air around the rocket. Following it, the engine's exhaust disturbs the moon's light into a chaos of schlieren — when variations in the density of a gas or liquid cause light to refract and bend."It's like a mirage," Rice said.Rice said it was "a big stroke of luck" that he managed to record the scene with both photos and video."It's amazing how accurate and more or less lucky you have to be to make sure the alignment is right," he said.As an example, he said, a photographer stationed a mile closer to the pad didn't manage to pull it off. Rice also noted that the mission had a five-minute window to launch. If mission controllers had delayed the liftoff to the end of that window, he would have been 250 feet away from where he was supposed to be — not a lot of time to move and precisely set up a bunch of gear alone.After Rice posted the photos to Instagram, he saw a tide of congratulations.One came from Carleton Bailie, a launch photographer of many decades, who said it took 20 years for someone "to get one" rocket-and-moon shot like it. Bailie added that the last time was likely in 2000, when he took a similar photo during the launch of an Atlas rocket. Ben Cooper, SpaceX's go-to launch photographer, also chimed in."Great job! It's been a long time since someone got it," Cooper wrote, confirming that the photos are likely the first of their kind in a couple decades, adding: "I keep pretty good track of photos and have been doing so for 20 years now."

Her tirade against the state and other Bollywood personalities has pitted her against the state government led by Thackeray. <div type="twitter" handle="KanganaTeam" handlename="Kangana Ranaut" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1296473541701844992/a5BVqOf3_normal.jpg" favoritecount="73720" retweetcount="23889" status="#DeathOfDemocracy https://t.co/cpv0A1TJjy" createdat="1599645510000" id="1303633872731533312"></div> The Bombay High Court has placed a 'stay' on the demolition. According to IANS, Ranaut’s lawyer Rizwan Siddique had “challenged the BMC notice earlier in the morning before the high court, contending that there are no illegalities in the office works even as the civic demolition squad swooped on the premises in Bandra West.” The Bombay High Court has now asked the BMC to file its reply to the actress’ plea challenging the demolition order by 3 p.m. on Thursday. The ruckus in the country's financial capital was expected after Ranaut declared that she would be travelling from Mohali to Mumbai. She got herself a 'Y' category security, approved by the Union Home Ministry under Amit Shah, after threats from Shiv Sena leaders. The political drama has been the only go-to spot for all paparazzi today.
