Chennai has one AL electric bus running on a trial basis since last month. It runs on route A1 (Central-Thiruvanmiyur) if anyone wants to try it out. I will attempt when I go there next time.

Exactly. There is also a videographer in that photo - shows its not exactly hush-hush.

Already, gujarat has reduced the fines to a tolerable value and wb has refused to implement the act in its current form alltogether. The ones who get stuck are the uts having no say in the matter. On a personal note, i plan to buy a bicycle that too second handed for purchasing necessities and to t...

It's not visible to Goldstone anymore, or they are communicating with other payloads, so the orbiter and lander are not showing up on the website anymore. It had been quiet for a few hours before that, fwiw.

^^ What's the significance of 90 mins? Moon-set over CA?

Sir carrier lock means we are mostly seeing power which is above noise floor and the lock signifies that there are no runaway frequency errors or phase drifts. The tone is generally the easiest to transmit as there is generally no modulator/demodulator involved and the transmitter + power amplifier...

Here's what I saw:

arshyam

The power received went up to -134.19 dBM and then the down signal went off, came back for a sec and again went off.

arshyam

Down Signal
Type:Carrier
Data Rate: 0.00 b/sec
Frequency: 2.27GHz
Power Received: -132.38dBm (5.78x10^-20 kW)

Got it!

Yeah, that was a very well done video. Fingers crossed onlee.

Thanks for the explanation saar. Any idea on what that tweet I posted above means? What's a carrier lock - is it a lock on to an incoming signal?

arshyam

It was briefly at -115 dB (around the time of suryag's post saying to "go check on the website"). At that time I was so excited about the dB value, that I didn't notice the data rate or whether the downlink signal was just the carrier or actual data. Didn't get a screengrab either. Kickin...

Still seeing only one way transmission to the lander (CH2L). Only the orbiter CH2O is showing two way communications. I hope you guys were able to get screenshots of what you saw

arshyam

Up means an outgoing signal from the ground station I suppose? Down signal indicates a response from the spacecraft. Happy to be corrected.

arshyam

I am able to see an up signal only...

This is awesome news! Any further screenshots?

^^^^^^^^ vsunder sir- Thank you for that detail rich explanation. May I request you to also shed light on the status of the Indore/Mhow- Khandwa gauge conversion, and the Khandwa- Akola link status?

There's a delay between DD and nat geo, latter being slower.

Descent has begun.

How strong is the pan-muslim vote as opposed to the paki vote bank? I mean, do issues like kashmir or any other paki-pasand topics resonate among the larger Muslim community? Maybe that could explain these contortions by Khanna, et al?

Edited for clarity.

Seriously guys, can't you give US domestic politics a rest on this thread at least?

But as a person whose daily commute is to ORR and via the warzone called BTM layout, I can't help but look at the metro work there with some trepidation.

Feel free to believe what you want, but except for some statements, the Yeddy govt has not done anything regarding this (at least yet, to give them the benefit of doubt). They are too busy trying to run the show with how many dy CMs (3 at last count), with the sword of the by-elections hanging over ...

It's soil testing which always happens before the piling work starts. They started the work at silk board almost 3 weeks back. Nothing to do with Yeddy.

True, but we need to change the narrative on this. Publicly announce where restrictions have been removed, and imply that any further blockades is done by anti-social types, stone throwers, etc. Basically put the onus on the stone throwers. Right now, the impression the average person has is that th...

Not a very flattering impression of Piyush Goyal and the Modi govt if they couldn't build upon the success of T-18. If anything, the MoR appears to have succumbed to inter-departmental (IRSEE vs IRSME) turf-wars and scapegoated the T-18 and the team that built it. This, when the PM has stressed abou...

Don't expect any Indian-origin politician to be pro-Hindutva. It is politically incorrect, unnecessary for them as they live in a different society and have a different voter base. As a minority they will always speak about things that concern them not what the majority in India thinks. Very true. ...

It's time for them to decide if they want to continue drinking that poison/Kool-Aid. So far, I have seen no indication that anyone is looking to stop and look at reality. At the end of the day, one can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves.
