Gaganyaan Mission

Gaganyaan Mission: भारत के पहले ह्यूमन-स्पेस फ्लाइट 'H1-गगनयान' को वर्ष 2024 के फोर्थ क्वार्टर में लांच किया जायेगा. केन्द्रीय मंत्री डॉ जितेंद्र सिंह ने एक लिखित उत्तर में इस बात की जानकारी दी है.    

उन्होंने कहा कि क्रू मेम्बर की सुरक्षा के लिए गगनयान -1 मिशन से पहले दो मानवरहित उड़ानें निर्धारित की गयी है. इसको विभिन्न उड़ान स्थितियों में टेस्ट किया जायेगा जिससे मुख्य मिशन के समय किसी प्रकार की कोई तकनिकी समस्या ना हो.

ह्यूमन-स्पेस फ्लाइट 'H1-गगनयान' से पूर्व जिन दो मानवरहित उड़ानों को प्रस्तावित किया गया है, उनमे से एक को अगले साल की अंतिम तिमाही में टेस्ट किया जायेगा. इसे G1 मिशन नाम दिया गया है. दूसरे G-2 मिशन को 2024 की दूसरी तिमाही में लांच किय जायेगा.

G1 मिशन का उद्देश्य मानव रेटेड प्रक्षेपण यान, ऑर्बिट मॉड्यूल टेस्ट, मिशन मैनेजमेंट, संचार प्रणाली आदि की टेस्टिंग की जाएगी. यह मिशन एक ह्यूमनॉइड पेलोड को ले जायेगा.

गगनयान मिशन के बारें में:
गगनयान भारतीय अंतरिक्ष अनुसंधान संगठन (ISRO) का एक स्पेस मिशन है. जो 2022 में प्रस्तावित था लेकिन कोविड के कारण यह मिशन 2024 के फोर्थ क्वार्टर में लांच किया जायेगा. इसके तहत तीन स्पेस मिशन को स्पेस में भेजा जायेगा.

इसरो के जियोसिंक्रोनस सैटेलाइट लॉन्च व्हीकल जीएसएलवी एमके III द्वारा इन मिशन को लांच किया जायेगा. इस लॉन्च के साथ भारत,  अमेरिका, रूस, चीन के साथ एक विशेष क्लब में शामिल हो जायेगा.

इन तीन मिशनों में 2 मानवरहित होंगे, जबकि एक मानव युक्त मिशन होगा. मानव मिशन में एक महिला सहित तीन अंतरिक्ष यात्री होंगे. 

भारत के आगामी स्पेस मिशन:
वीनस मिशन: इसरो ने भी शुक्र के लिये एक मिशन की योजना बनायीं है, जो वीनस के लिए भारत का पहला मिशन होगा.

आदित्य L1 मिशन: इसरो ने सूर्य से जुड़े अनुसंधान के लिए आदित्य L1 मिशन की तैयारी कर रहा है. जो सूर्य के लिए भारत का पहला मिशन होगा. यह सूर्य और पृथ्वी के बीच L1 (लैग्रेंजियन पॉइंट तक) के लिए प्रस्तावित है.

XpoSat: इस मिशन को कॉस्मिक एक्स-रे के अध्ययन के लिए डिज़ाइन किया गया है.

🔆Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission(ABDM)

✅It aims to develop the backbone necessary to support the integrated digital health infrastructure of the country. It will bridge the existing gap amongst different stakeholders of Healthcare ecosystem through digital highways.
✅With health records linked to their ABHA accounts digitally, citizens will be able to access and manage these records as per convenience. This enables citizens to create a comprehensive medical history across various healthcare providers thereby improving clinical decision-making.

▪️The ABHA(Ayushman Bharat Health Account) Number:

✅It will be used for the purposes of uniquely identifying persons, authenticating them, and threading their health records (only with the informed consent of the patient) across multiple systems and stakeholders.
✅This digital linking of individual’s health records with ABHA is being carried out extensively across different health facilities of the country with the support of State Governments.
✅Health Facility Registry (HFR)
It is a comprehensive repository of health facilities of the nation across different systems of medicine. It includes both public and private health facilities including hospitals, clinics, diagnostic laboratories and imaging centres, pharmacies, etc.
✅Enrolling in the Health Facility Registry will enable them to get connected to India's digital health ecosystem.

✅Unified Health Interface (UHI): UHI is envisioned as an open protocol for various digital health services. UHI Network will be an open network of End User Applications (EUAs) and participating Health Service Provider (HSP) applications.
UHI will enable a wide variety of digital health services between patients and health service providers (HSPs) including appointment booking, teleconsultation, service discovery and others.

world's oldest Water..!!!

🔘World’s Oldest Water

◾️World’s Oldest Water Found in Canada Sheds Light on the Beginning of Life.

◾️A 2016 study by Canadian geologists is eliciting significant interest, for the clues, it offers in the search for alien life, especially on Mars.

◾️Sherwood Lollar had been carrying out research at the Kidd Creek mine, located on the 2.7 billion-year-old Canadian Shield, one of the world’s largest continental shields – meaning the oldest and least tectonically active parts of the Earth’s crust.

◾️Investigations into the highly saline water led to a pathbreaking discovery: scientists found that chemolithotrophic microbes– bacteria that can thrive in the most extreme surroundings– had been able to survive in the subterranean liquid.

🔸About Nathdwara Painting: Nathdwara, a town close to Udaipur and a prominent Vaishnava centre, also emerged as a school of painting in the late seventeenth century.

🔸Nathdwara School is a subset of the Mewar School of painting. It is seen as an important school in the 17th and 18th-century miniature paintings.

WHAT IS BF:7

BF.7 ओमिक्रॉन का एक सब-वेरिएंट है जिसका वैज्ञानिक नाम BA.5.2.1.7 है. यह ओमिक्रॉन वेरिएंट BA.5 का एक सब-लीनिएज है जो इस समय चीन में प्रभावी है. यह वुहान के पुराने वायरस की तुलना में अधिक तेजी से फैलने वाला वेरिएंट है. 

नए ओमिक्रॉन BF.7 स्ट्रेन को बहुत तेजी से फैलने के लिए जाना जाता है और इसका इन्क्यूबेशन पीरियड (ncubation period) कम होता है. लेकिन विशेषज्ञों द्वारा यह बताया गया है कि तीन महीनों में चीन में 60% इससे संक्रमित हो सकते है.

इसमें भी लक्षण किसी अन्य ऊपरी श्वसन संक्रमण जैसे बुखार, खांसी, नाक का बहना, गले में खराश, कमजोरी और  थकावट के समान ही रहते हैं. लेकिन इसके तेज संक्रमण से लोग काफी प्रभावित हो रहे है.  यह भी संभव है कि अगर लोगों को टीके के तीन से चार शॉट्स दिए गए है तो वे सुरक्षित हो सकते हैं.

चिकित्सा विशेषज्ञ डॉ रवींद्र गुप्ता का कहना है कि इस समय दुनिया भर में यात्रा करने वाले लोगों के साथ, कोविड के दुनिया भर में फैलने की संभावना अधिक बढ़ गयी है.
