thanks. Seems like it also happened in months prior as well.

Is there any note or report on how affected people became aware that there was a problem.

NISAR detects surface changes by comparing radar phase over time, using a stable Earth-fixed coordinate system (ITRF) and precise satellite positioning. No single fixed ground point is needed — it’s all relative motion. (Yes, the Earth rotates — but that’s predictable and modeled. -Yes, tectonic pl...

^^^Does the satellite pick a reference point on the earth to measure movements upto a cm accuracy? The earth is spinning, and the satellite is moving in LEO at a fast speed.

Hydrogen with it's single electron is always looking for marriage. It's the smallest atom that can leak through cylinders seals. Needs huge amount of compression to liquify ie energy expenditure. From the discussion I note that there are no technological breakthroughs that address these fundamental...

SriKumar

Since electricity from renewable sources is needed to produce green Hydrogen, the options are solar, wind and hydro-electricity. Relative to oil, these sources of renewable energy generate a rather limited amount of power (there are limits to how much area can be covered with solar panels/wind turbi...

I was in Japan recently. They are quite racist towards Indians and grovel before Whites. Forget the gaijin, how are they with each other, though....

Your comment doesn't make any sense. The forum, core voters and public at large asks for better media management by BJP, and yet here your are endorsing sheer display of professional incompetence.

Doubtless, engineering and technology advancements have made things easier, but a Mars landing requires engineers to deal with an additional set of physics not existing on moon- aerodynamic forces and frictional heating. To be able to use aerodynamic forces to its benefit (i.e. slow down the lander)...

SriKumar

Allow me to post this from basic physics and engineering principles -- Landing on the Moon is indeed more complex than landing on Mars -- because of its airless environment, which means : I think the presence of atmosphere, while it helps with braking/slowing down the lander, may create other compl...

If ISRO had it in their plan, then there is a possibility it gets launched this year. Interesting that they have a GSLV allocated for this as opposed to satellite launches. If they miss the 2024 chance, the next landing will be in 2027 ( ~1 year to get there). And all development gets delayed by 3 y...

PErhpas the farmer said 'gaantht' (to rhyme with can't) which means knot (as a knot in a thread). The connection with chakka could be the spinning wheel (Gandhian one, used to spin cotton into threads). Maybe a knot in the thread is a way of saying something is off/awry.
