MechResCon2023: Cryogenic engine testing for the Gaganyaan programme was successful, according to ISRO

-

 At the ISRO Propulsion Complex in Mahendragiri, Tamil Nadu, the Indian Space Research Organization successfully completed the qualification test of the cryogenic engine for the Gaganyaan programme. 

The Bengaluru-based space agency reported that throughout the entire test on Wednesday, the engine's performance complied with the test objectives and its parameters nearly matched the forecasts.

"The Human Space Programme Gaganyaan has achieved a significant milestone with this successful long-duration test. It guarantees the cryogenic engine's dependability and durability for incorporation into the Gaganyaan human-rated launch vehicle "a statement from ISRO read.

This engine will also go through four additional tests, totaling 1810 seconds, it stated. 

Then, according to ISRO, one more engine will go through two short-duration tests and one long-duration test to finish the qualifying process for cryogenic engines for the Gaganyaan Program.

The flagship Gaganyaan project of India has finished the design phase and entered the testing phase, according to ISRO Chairman K Sivan, who made the announcement earlier this month. 

"All parties involved are working hard to keep up with the deadline to launch the first unmanned mission before the 75th anniversary of India's independence (August 15, 2022). I have no doubt that we can accomplish this goal "Sivan had remarked.

AeroResCon2023: SWISS claims that higher productivity contributed to its first-half profit.

-
Swiss International Air Lines reported today that the first half of 2022 saw a return to profitability. The airline is sure that its 2022 full-year statistics will show a profit after operating profit of CHF 67 million ($70 million) in the first half. SWISS International Air Lines (SWISS) is a member of Star Alliance , the largest airline alliance in the world, and a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group . It runs to around 123 destinations throughout 51 nations, offering services along more than 140 routes. Zurich Kloten Airport (ZRH) is the primary hub for SWISS, which, according to ch-aviation.com, has a fleet of 105 aircraft, including 15 wet-leased Embraer ERJ 190s. The fleet consists entirely of Airbus aircraft, including five A340-300s that are 19 years old, in addition to 12 Boeing B777-300ERs . Thirty Airbus A220s, thirteen A320s, six A320neos, eight A321s, two A321neos, and fourteen A330-300s make up the remaining fleet. The main causes of the turnaround were an increase in pa

NanoResCon2023: Researchers have made great strides in utilising bacteria to create artificial cells that function like real cells.

-
 Researchers have used bacteria to create sophisticated synthetic cells that imitate the activity of genuine cells. The study, led by the University of Bristol and published today in Nature, advances the use of artificial cells, or protocells, to more faithfully mimic the intricate makeup, structure, and function of living cells. Establishing true-to-life functioning in protocells is an international great challenge involving several disciplines, from beginning of life research to bottom-up synthetic biology and bioengineering. Due to previous failures in modelling protocells using microcapsules , the study team turned to bacteria to construct sophisticated synthetic cells utilising a living material assembly method. Professor Stephen Mann from the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol, the Max Planck Bristol Centre for Minimal Biology, and colleagues Drs. Can Xu, Nicolas Martin (currently at the University of Bordeaux), and Mei Li from the Bristol Centre for Protolife

InfraCivilCon2023: How to Make the Most of Strategic Green Spaces' Cooling Effects

-
One of the best and most accessible strategies to lessen the effects of rising temperatures in urban contexts is to use urban green spaces. Cities all across the world experience more frequent and severe heat waves, putting the lives of their residents at danger. Urban heat islands are created when natural land cover is replaced with surfaces that absorb and hold heat, such as pavements and buildings, and many cities are exploring methods to lessen their effects. In comparison to the surroundings, this causes the temperature to rise by a number of degrees. Cities have their own unique microclimate that is influenced by this phenomenon as well as a number of frequently disregarded elements. All elements must be taken into account for a climate plan to be effective. The sociological makeup of the city is highly connected with heat risk levels. Less access to green spaces puts communities with historically underprivileged and less affluent sectors at higher risk. The impact on the underpr
