The Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP) is an institution of basic research and training in physical and biophysical sciences located in Bidhannagar, Kolkata, India. The institute is named after the famous Indian physicist Meghnad Saha. This institute is well known to have many amazing equipments related to physics including a Van De Graff’s generator. The Institute grew out of the Palit Research Laboratory in Physics of the University of Calcutta. After Professor Meghnad Saha returned from Allahabad in 1938 to succeed Sir C. V. Raman in the Palit Chair of Physics, he reorganized the post graduate physics curriculum of University of Calcutta to include nuclear physics by 1940 after realising immense potential of the subject for betterment of the country. Soon the necessity of a small-scale cyclotron was felt for gaining a first-hand knowledge in this virgin field which was procured from the fund raised by the help of Jawaharlal Nehru and patronage of J. R. D. Tata.

Dundigal Air Force Academy (ICAO: VODG) is located at Hyderabad, in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. The Air Force Academy was established in 1969 and started in 1971. It is located at Dundigal, about 25 km away from the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, spread over 7,000 acres of land. The academy was set up to train cadets from all streams at one location. It imparts training to the Flying, Technical and Ground Duty Branches as well as officers of the Army and Navy. This is a home for the officer trainees who learn their specialisation and are nurtured to become capable leaders. After one year’s training, officer cadets are commissioned into branches of the IAF. It is here that they are trained to learn flying through successive stages.

Kalpana-1 is the first dedicated meteorological satellite launched by Indian Space Research Organisation using Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle on 2002-09-12. This was the first satellite launched by the PSLV into the geostationary orbit. The satellite was originally known as MetSat-1. On February 5, 2003 it was renamed to Kalpana-1 by the Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in memory of Kalpana Chawla—a NASA astronaut who perished in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. The satellite features a Very High Resolution scanning Radiometer (VHRR), for three-band images and a Data Relay Transponder (DRT) payload

Chandrayaan-1 was India’s first unmanned lunar probe. It was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation in October 2008, and operated until August 2009. The mission included a lunar orbiter and an impactor. India launched the spacecraft with a modified version of the PSLV, PSLV C11 on 22 October, 2008 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh. Note : Chandrayaan-2 is India’s second lunar exploration mission after Chandrayaan-1. Developed by the Indian Space Research Organization, the mission is planned to be launched to the Moon by a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle. The ISRO is planning to launch Chandrayaan-2 in the first quarter of 2018.
