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.

MechResCon2023: Real-time Hologram Rendering from Interferometers is Made Possible by BitFlow Frame Grabber

-
 Around 70 years after the invention of holographic imaging , this original wave-front reconstruction method has been enhanced due to improvements in image sensors and CPU power. Phase contrast imaging for samples in biological and biomedical studies, forensic identification, and MEMS vibration analysis , among other applications, has proven to be a practical method using the original optical reconstruction process, which is now carried out digitally and is known as Digital Holography Microscopy (DHM) . DHM typically calls for substantial post-processing computations and offline wave propagation , which can take a lot of time and be expensive. However, DHM may now be carried out at large input and output throughputs using ordinary components thanks to a novel system1 created at I nstitut Langevin , an academic research institute in Paris. The Institut Langevin system makes use of the image capabilities of an Adimec Quartz 2MP CoaXPress camera and a Bitflow Cyton-CXP CoaXPress frame

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

AeroResCon2023: Autonomous robots will 3D print the vaulted lunar outpost for NASA and AI SpaceFactory.

-
 LINA is a 3D printed structure that is meant to be a lunar settlement , and its design has been released by AI SpaceFactory and the NASA Kennedy Space Center . The structure, which is planned to be built on the south pole of the moon by autonomous robots, is characterised by Romanesque arches that require less material to endure enormous compressive loads. LINA's structural design will be 3D printed utilising lunar regolith and a polymer derived from Earth. LINA will be 3D printed at a 60-degree angle in contrast to traditional 3D printing, which adds layers parallel to the ground to enable construction of the vaulted roof. To give defence against radiation, micrometeorites, lunar seismic activity, and dramatic heat swings, the arches will be covered in 2.7 metres (8.8 feet) of lunar regolith. The team will use the nearly constant sunshine on the crater's peaks provided by the outpost's proximity to the Shackleton crater's rim at the lunar south pole to generate ele
