The unmanned lunar orbiter Chandrayaan-1 ejected its Moon Impact Probe, which hurtled across the surface of the Moon at 1.5 kilometres per second (3000 miles per hour), and successfully crash landed near the Moon's south pole. Besides carrying three important scientific instruments, the lunar probe also carried the image of the Indian national flag, painted on all sides. http://www.huliq.com/1/73006/indias-flag-landed-moon#comments Science India lunar missions space exploration Sat, 15 Nov 2008 10:00:50 -0600 admin_huliq 73006 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/1/72990/space-shuttle-endeavour-launch-successful The launch of the space shuttle Endeavour was successful as the space shuttle launched toward the skies preparing our home in the International Space Station. http://www.huliq.com/1/72990/space-shuttle-endeavour-launch-successful#comments Science NASA space exploration space shuttle Space Shuttle Endeavour Fri, 14 Nov 2008 19:20:03 -0600 admin_huliq 72990 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/1/72962/indias-moon-craft-reaches-final-lunar-orbit India's first lunar mission, the Chandrayaan-1 (meaning 'moon craft' in Sanskrit), reached its destined lunar orbit on Wednesday.

It started at 16:50 hrs IST and within 14 minutes, it the entered lunar orbit. It is now 504 km from Moon. ISRO says the most critical operation is successful. With this development, India's moon mission has been declared successful. http://www.huliq.com/1/72547/chandrayaan-1-enters-lunar-orbit-successfully#comments Science India lunar missions space exploration Sat, 08 Nov 2008 13:28:34 -0600 admin_huliq 72547 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/1/70159/india-readies-first-unmanned-lunar-mission As India readies to launch its first unmanned lunar mission on 22nd October, space authorities are awaiting the green signal from the government for the country's maiden human space flight planned around 2015. http://www.huliq.com/1/70159/india-readies-first-unmanned-lunar-mission#comments Science India lunar missions space exploration Wed, 08 Oct 2008 05:35:14 -0500 admin_huliq 70159 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/66294/apj-students-win-nasa039s-space-settlement-design-contest Students of the Apeejay School have brought laurels to the city by jointly winning a prestigious contest at the NASA's Johnson Space Center with two US schools. http://www.huliq.com/66294/apj-students-win-nasa039s-space-settlement-design-contest#comments Science NASA space exploration Tue, 12 Aug 2008 06:46:25 -0500 admin_huliq 66294 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/64481/small-planet-small-star Space Station Astronomers have discovered an extrasolar planet only three times more massive than our own, the smallest yet observed orbiting a normal star. The star itself is not large, perhaps as little as one twentieth the mass of our Solar System Sun, suggesting to the research team that relatively common low-mass stars may present good candidates for hosting Earth-like planets. http://www.huliq.com/64481/small-planet-small-star#comments Science space exploration Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:40:45 -0500 admin_huliq 64481 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/61690/nasa-glast-launch-takes-sputnik-space At 12:05 p.m. EDT, the Delta II rocket easily lifted the GLAST spacecraft off the launch pad, out of smoke and clouds and into a beautiful Florida sky headed for space.
