The ex-aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy, INS Vikrant is being converted into a floating museum and rechristened Indian Museum Ship (IMS) Vikrant. She is now anchored opposite to Middle Ground near Gateway of India in Mumbai. This is with a view to meet the enormous demand of the public to see the ship and also assess the economic viability of sustaining her. The preliminary focus of the museum is to highlight the role of the ship as the cradle of naval aviation in the country.

Agni-II is a medium range ballistic missile (MRBM) with two solid fuel stages and a Post Boost Vehicle (PBV) integrated into the missile’s Re-entry Vehicle (RV). When the Agni-II was first launched, then Defence Minister George Fernandes indicated that the maximum range of the Agni-II was 3,000 km. Since then, ranges from 2,000 km to 2,500 km have been stated, while Dr. Kalam, at Aero India ’98, stated that Agni-II had a maximum range of 3,700 km. The Agni’s manoeuvring RV is made of a carbon-carbon composite material that is light and able to sustain high thermal stresses of re-entry, in a variety of trajectories. The Ghauri-II is a medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM). A longer ranged variant of the GhauriI, it was developed by increasing the length of the motor assembly and using improved propellants. The Ghauri-II missile has a maximum range of 2,000 km.

INS stands for Indian Navy Ship. INS was anchored off near Colaba in Mumbai. It is a Naval Hospital Ship. INHS Asvini has the distinction of emerging as the first Armed Forces Hospital with networked radiology images, sourced principally from a recently installed Digital Substraction Angiography (DSA) machine (Siemens Polystar Top 1000 MA). In recent times, newer imaging machines offer digital images that are in DICOM format. DICOM denotes ‘Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine”. Image management at INHS Asvini, involves transfer of DSA images in DICOM format, their conversion into Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPG) format and subsequent transmission of JPG images through a robust networking system that connects all departments/OPD/Wards, facilitating direct access of images to a variety of specialists and specialities. INHS Asvini is the principal Command Hospital of the Indian Navy with a 825 bed teaching facility. It is presently undergoing modernization, underscored by the rapid induction of ‘state of art’ medical equipment along with continual computerization and networking of various Departments, Wards and OPD.

Aryabhatta, the first Indian space satellite, was launched for India on April 19, 1975. Later, BhaskaraI, an Earth observation satellite, was launched for India on June 7, 1979. India launched its own satellite for the first time on July 18, 1980. It was the Rohini1 satellite carried aloft on a Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV) rocket from the Sriharikota Island launch site. Note : in its thirty ninth flights (PSLV-C37), ISRO’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle successfully launched the 714 kg Cartosat-2 Series Satellite along with 103 co-passenger satellites on February 15, 2017 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR, Sriharikota. The total weight of all the 104 satellites carried on-board PSLV-C37 was 1378 kg. The previous record was held by Russia, which sent 37 satellites into orbit in 2014.
