Gauri Lankesh Murder: No One Safe Under Congress Rule in Karnataka

Karnataka

The appalling murder of Gauri Lankesh, a feisty journalist known for her strident views, has sent online and offline circles into a shock.

Apart from the high-profile M M Kalburgi case, a number of suspicious deaths and possibly political murders have happened in Karnataka in the last few years. They convey a startling pattern of deteriorating situation in Karnataka with the state government seeming indifferent at best. In a notable case, Deputy Superintendent of Police M K Ganapathy was found dead in a lodge, reportedly committing suicide, j...

Here’s why PSLV-C39 failed to Launch IRNSS 1H satellite and imploded

National

The PSLV-C39 rocket, which failed to launch the IRNSS 1H satellite on Thursday, was dragged down by at least one tonne of extra weight from the unseparated heat shield after the second stage, its velocity reduced by one kilometre per second. This greatly reduced the altitude it was to reach for a successful mission, say scientists privy to the project. Former Isro Satellite Centre director SK Shivakumar said: “The launch vehicle was carrying at least one tonne more than its design permitted it, as the heat shield did not separate. This affected its velocity. For example, it should have attained a velocity of 9.5km per second at the end of it but attained only 8.5km per second.” The heat shield is meant to protect the satellite from the heat generated due to friction against atmosphere...
