Hello, friends!
In 1947, just 2 years after the end of World War II, tensions were increasing between America and the Soviet Union. Both countries emerged as Superpowers after the war, But there was a clash between their political ideologies. The heavy rivalry between the two was the start of a Cold War. Both countries were trying to develop their nuclear powers. So both countries were developing intercontinental ballistic missiles. A missile that might be used to deliver nuclear weapons from one continent to the other. From America to the Soviet Union, or from the Soviet Union to America. To cover such long distances, these ICBMs had to launch a rocket into outer space. Both countries knew that if either country developed a technology which can get them into space, then the country would have a huge advantage in terms of weaponry. That's why both countries were in fierce competition for getting into space first. This was the start of a space race between the two.
In 1955, America announced their plans of launching artificial satellites into space. Some days after this announcement, the Soviet Union said that they too wanted to launch artificial satellites. Two years later, in October 1957, the Soviet Union surpassed America in this race. They made history by launching Sputnik. World's first artificial satellite. One month later, they launched another satellite, Sputnik 2. This time, there was a living creature in the satellite, for the first time. A dog named Laika. America caught up to the Soviet Union in January 1958, When they launched their first satellite, Explorer 1. The competition between the countries was so extreme, the motivation so high, that space technology was progressing rapidly. In the meanwhile, an Indian scientist, Dr Vikram Sarabhai, was quite inspired by the development of space technology. Especially after the launch of Sputnik in 1957, he realised how important space development is for the development of a country. By 1962, he had convinced Jawaharlal Nehru, that India should have its own space program. Friends, this was the birth of ISRO.
Before the ISS_ Exploring the International Space Station's Predecessor.pdfGet2 knowit
As we marvel at the International Space Station (ISS) orbiting high above the Soil, it's simple to disregard that this uncommon accomplishment of designing and universal collaboration had humble beginnings. The ISS stands as a confirmation of human inventiveness and participation, but its roots follow back to a period when space investigation was starting to require shape. In this investigation, we delve into the interesting history of the International Space Station's predecessor, uncovering the orbital pioneers and models that cleared the way for the surprising space research facility we know nowadays.
Tens of billions of kilometers away from earth, two space crafts are streaking
through the infinite interstellar space called Voyager 1 & Voyager 2. NASA
launched Voyager 1 on September 5, 1977, 16 days after the launch of Voyager 2.
The Voyager mission was designed to take advantage of a rare configuration of the
solar system’s giant planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. In this
arrangement, which occurs roughly once every 175 years, the giants lined up in a
way that would allow the probes to harness each planet’s gravitational forces to
“swing” from one to the next with minimal self-propulsion. Both Voyager
spacecraft’s carry a greeting to any form of life, should that be encountered. The
message is carried by a phonograph record -- a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk
containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on
Earth. As of August 2017, Voyager 1 was at a distance of 20.8 billion kilometers
(139.3 AU) from the Sun. Voyager 2 was at a distance of 17.2 billion kilometers
(115 AU). Voyager 1 has left the solar system and the first man-made object to do
so and is preparing to go to its next destination – a star dubbed 'AC +79 3888'.
Voyager 1 is travelling at about 17 kilometers per second (11 mi/s) it has the fastest
heliocentric recession speed of any spacecraft. It will take a span of 40,000 years for
Voyager 1 to reach the star. Eons after humans have gone extinct and well after
the sun expands to swallow Earth entirely, V1 will still be traversing the universe,
silently charting entirely unknown territories.
This year is declared as The International Year of Astronomy 2009 (IYA2009) by UN and is a global celebration of astronomy and its contributions to society and culture and also marks the 400th anniversary of the first use of an astronomical telescope by Galileo Galilei. The aim of the Year is to stimulate worldwide interest, especially among young people, in astronomy and science under the central theme "The Universe, Yours to Discover". IYA2009 events and activities will promote a greater appreciation of the inspirational aspects of astronomy that embody an invaluable shared resource for all nations.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Normal labor is also termed spontaneous labor, defined as the natural physiological process through which the fetus, placenta, and membranes are expelled from the uterus through the birth canal at term (37 to 42 weeks
3. The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA )is an independent
agency of the executive branch of the United
States federal government responsible for the
civilian space program, as well as aeronautics
and aerospace research.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower established
NASA in 1958[10] with a distinctly civilian
(rather than military) orientation encouraging
peaceful applications in space science. The
National Aeronautics and Space Act was
passed on July 29, 1958, disestablishing NASA's
predecessor, the National Advisory Committee
for Aeronautics (NACA). The new agency
became operational on October 1, 1958.
4. From 1946, the National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics (NACA) had been experimenting with
rocket planes such as the supersonic Bell X-1.[20] In
the early 1950s, there was challenge to launch an
artificial satellite for the International Geophysical
Year (1957–58). An effort for this was the American
Project Vanguard. After the Soviet launch of the
world's first artificial satellite (Sputnik 1) on October 4,
1957, the attention of the United States turned
toward its own fledgling space efforts. The US
Congress, alarmed by the perceived threat to national
security and technological leadership (known as the
"Sputnik crisis"), urged immediate and swift action;
President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his advisers
counseled more deliberate measures. On January 12,
1958, NACA organized a "Special Committee on Space
Technology", headed by Guy ford Stever. On January
14, 1958, NACA Director Hugh Dryden published "A
National Research Program for Space Technology"
stating.
5. The Apollo Program (1961-72) The first person
to stand on the Moon was Neil Armstrong,
who was followed by Buzz Aldrin, while
Michael Collins orbited above. Five
subsequent Apollo missions also landed
astronauts on the Moon, the last in December
1972. Throughout these six Apollo
spaceflights, twelve men walked on the Moon.
These missions returned a wealth of scientific
data and 381.7 kilograms (842 lb) of lunar
samples. Topics covered by experiments
performed included soil mechanics,
meteoroids, seismology, heat flow, lunar
ranging, magnetic fields, and solar wind.[57]
The Moon landing marked the end of the
space race; and as a gesture, Armstrong
mentioned mankind when he stepped down
on the Moon.
6. NASA's facilities are research, construction and communication
centers to help its missions. Some facilities serve more than one
application for historic or administrative reasons. NASA also operates
a short-line railroad at the Kennedy Space Center and own special
aircraft, for instance two Boeing 747 that transport Space Shuttle
orbiter.
John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC), is one of the best-known NASA
facilities. It has been the launch site for every United States human
space flight since 1968. Although such flights are currently on pause,
KSC continues to manage and operate unmanned rocket launch facilities
for America's civilian space program from three pads at the adjoining
Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
7. What is Space PROBE ?
A probe is a spacecraft that travels through
space to collect science information. Probes
do not have astronauts. Probes send data
back to Earth for scientists to study.
The First Probes
Sputnik 1 was the first probe to go into space.
It was launched on Oct. 4, 1957, by the
former Soviet Union. On Jan. 31, 1958, the
United States sent a probe called Explorer 1
into space. These first probes studied Earth
from space. They also learned what it's like to
be in space. This was the beginning of the
Space Race between the United States and
Soviet Union.
8. Who Were The First People in Space?
On April 12, 1961, a rocket stood on a launch pad in the soviet union. A
cosmonaut named Yuri Gagarin waited inside. He was about to do what
no human had done before. He was about to travel to outer space. No
one knew if his brain would function in space or if he would be instantly
killed by radiation.
Later that day, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit earth. He is
flight lasted 108 minutes. News of his success was quickly broadcast
around the world.
9. What is ESA ?
The European Space Agency (ESA) is Europe’s gateway to space. Its mission is to
shape the development of Europe’s space capability and ensure that investment in
space continues to deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world.
ESA is an international organization with 22 Member States. By coordinating the
financial and intellectual resources of its members, it can undertake programmes
and activities far beyond the scope of any single European country.
What does ESA do?
ESA’s job is to draw up the European space programmes and carry it through. ESA's
programmes are designed to find out more about Earth, its immediate space
environment, our Solar System and the Universe, as well as to develop satellite-
based technologies and services, and to promote European industries. ESA also
works closely with space organizations outside Europe.
10. Who belongs to ESA?
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Slovenia is an Associate
Member. Canada takes part in some projects under a cooperation
agreement.
Bulgaria, Cyprus, Malta, Latvia, Lithuania and Slovakia have
cooperation agreements with ESA. Discussions are under way with
Croatia.
11. Where is ESA located?
ESA's headquarters are in Paris which is where policies and programmes are decided.
ESA also has sites in a number of European countries, each of which has different
responsibilities:
EAC, the European Astronauts Centre in Cologne, Germany;
ESAC, the European Space Astronomy Centre, in Villanueva de la Canada, Madrid,
Spain;
ESOC, the European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany;
ESRIN, the ESA centre for Earth Observation, in Frascati, near Rome, Italy;
ESTEC, the European Space Research and Technology Centre, Noordwijk, the
Netherlands.
ECSAT, the European Centre for Space Applications and Telecommunications,
Harwell, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom.
ESA Redu Centre, Belgium.
ESA also has liaison offices in Belgium, USA and Russia; a launch base in French
Guiana and ground/tracking stations in various parts of the world.
12. How many people work for ESA?
There are around 2200 staff working for ESA, from all the Member States and include
scientists, engineers, information technology specialists and administrative
personnel.
Where do ESA’s funds come from?
ESA’s mandatory activities (space science programmes and the general budget) are
funded by a financial contribution from all the Agency’s Member States, calculated in
accordance with each country’s gross national product. In addition, ESA conducts a
number of optional programmes. Each Member State decides in which optional
programme they wish to participate and the amount they wish to contribute.
How big is ESA’s budget?
ESA's budget for 2017 is €5.75 billion. ESA operates on the basis of geographical
return, i.e. it invests in each Member State, through industrial contracts for space
programmes, an amount more or less equivalent to each country’s contribution.
13. How much does each European spend on ESA?
European per capita investment in space is very little. On average,
every citizen of an ESA Member State pays, in taxes for expenditure on
space, about the same as the price of a cinema ticket (in USA,
investment in civilian space activities is almost four times as much).
How does ESA operate?
The Council is ESA's governing body and provides the basic policy
guidelines within which ESA develops the European space programme.
Each Member State is represented on the Council and has one vote,
regardless of its size or financial contribution.
ESA is headed by a Director General who is elected by the Council
every four years. Each individual research sector has its own
Directorate and reports directly to the Director General. The present
Director General of ESA is Jan Woerner.
14. What is Diwata -1?
Diwata-1[6] also known as PHL-Microsat-1 is a Philippine microsatellite
launched to the International Space Station (ISS) in March 23, 2016, and
was deployed into orbit from the ISS in April 27, 2016. It is the first
Philippine microsatellite and the first satellite built and designed by
Filipinos.
15. Background
Hokkaido University and Tohoku University of Japan initiated a project
to send 50 microsatellites into space by 2050. The project will
photograph aftermaths of natural disasters, partnering with
governments, universities and other organizations based in Bangladesh,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Mongolia, Philippines, Thailand, and
Vietnam. Two satellites are commissioned for the Philippine
government.
Diwata-1 is the first satellite of the venture and is also a part of the
Department of Science and Technology's Philippine Scientific Earth
Observation Micro-Satellite (PHL-Microsat) Program[11] which was
initiated in December 2014 by the government agency.[5] The satellite
is an updated version of the Raijin-2, which was developed by the two
Japanese universities.
17. Background
A team of nine Filipino engineers from the DOST-Advanced Science and
Technology Institute (ASTI) and the University of the Philippines, dubbed
the "Magnificent 9", were responsible for the production of Diwata-1
and collaborated with scientists and engineers from the two Japanese
universities.[6][14] They were sent to Japan in October 2015.[15] The
second (unnamed) microsatellite will be developed later. Assembly and
testing of Diwata-1 was completed in December 2015.[16]
Diwata-1 was handed over to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
(JAXA) on January 13, 2016, at the Tsukuba Space Center in Tsukuba,
Japan.[6][8][16] On January 18, 2016,[17] JAXA sent the satellite to the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), in the United
States, after conducting final tests on the satellite.
18. Launch and mission
The launch of Diwata-1 occurred on March 23, 2016, at Cape
Canaveral, Florida in the United States. It was a payload of Orbital
ATK's Cygnus spacecraft which was launched through the Atlas V
rocket as part of a supply mission to the International Space Station
(ISS).[20][2][18] Initially the plan was reportedly to launch Diwata-1
through a vehicle by SpaceX, from either California or Florida to the
ISS.[16] Earlier, an orbital slot was secured from JAXA for Diwata-
1.[21] Cygnus managed to reach the ISS in March 26. The
spacecraft unloaded its cargo, including Diwata-1, to the ISS in the
span of two weeks.
