"Face It India's latest communication satellite"

INSAT-4A “Indian National Satellite System”

TThe INSAT-4A “Indian National Satellite System” is a series of multipurpose Geo- Stationary satellites. It can be launched by ISRO since 28 January 2008 to satisfy the telecommunications. ISRO launched fourth generation of satellites with the “ INSAT-4 series ”.




"INSAT-4A (Indian National Satellite System) is the most advanced, heaviest and most powerful satellite (of India).” ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launch as a "very important milestone in the history of India.”

The launch is seen as another milestone in India's space programmed and it can be give a major fillip to Direct-to-Home television services. The INSAT-4A launch, telecast live by Doordarshan, as a very important milestone in the history of ISRO. It can Revolutionize DTH broadcasting and improve the entertainment scenario in the country.

The INSAT-4A is a first satellite in the INSAT-4 series under which seven satellites have been planned, is equipped with 12 ku and 12 c band high-powered transponders, with a design life of 12 years. The fourth generation of satellites INSAT-4A is India's heaviest satellite weighing 3,080 kg at lift-off, was shot into space about 29 minutes after the European launch vehicle blasted off. This is going to revolutionize the TV broadcasting directly to the home and improve the entertainment scenario in India.

Originally INSAT-4A was launch in the first half of 2005 but due to difficulties faced by Arians and delay in the launch of first two satellites of other countries, the launch schedule was recast.


It is Developed to the solar antennas will be carried out before positioning the satellite in its designated slot of 83 degree East longitude, along with INSAT-2E and INSAT-3B.

"Threats on Nature"


As Ice Melts, Polar Bears Face New Rivals--------Grizzlies


POLAR BEARS FACE A NEW THREAT BESIDES MELTING ICE---“MALE GRIZZLY BEARS” ARE MOVING INTO THEIR TERRITORIES, COMPETING FOR FOOD AND ARE EVEN MATING WITH THEIR FEMALES.

Scientists have already discovered one case of a hybrid “Grolar” bears and are circulating request to hunters and solar tour operators to look out for more.
One possible explanation for closer interaction between the species is climate change, which has allowed grizzlies to move north into areas that were once too cold for them.”The two species are likely to interact in a variety of ways, including Competing for food and places to build dens, as well as possible mating,” said Robert Rockwell, of the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
Grizzly bears have traditionally been found in Alaska, western Canada and northwestern American states, including Idaho and Montana. They are thought to Number about 60,000.
However, Rockwell will soon publish research showing how grizzlies are moving into Wapusk National Park on the edge of Hudson Bay in eastern Canada, an area previously dominated by polar bears.
Grizzlies have also been found hundreds miles further north on the remote Canadian arctic island. Rockwell said, ”When female polar bears have their cubs the young will e in great danger of being eaten by the grizzlies. On the other hand, male polar bears can weigh up to 1’200Ib---twice the size of a female grizzly. They could mate with the female or eat her or both. Things could get very different for both species.”
