ISRO signs MoU with ARIES To tackle space debris

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) recently signed an MoU with the Nainital-based

Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES) for cooperation in the field of

astrophysics and Space Situational Awareness (SSA). The MoU will be useful “in safeguarding the Indian space assets

from critical threats from space debris , ISRO stated.

ARIES has experts with years of research on observational astronomy, astrophysics, and atmospheric sciences.

Former ISRO chairman Kiran Kumar, who has been vocal about the effects of space debris with a large number of

private players entering the sector, stated that as smaller satellites are getting into space, the number of non-

functional objects too are increasing.

These objects that are not in control of any space agency can come in the way of other satellites, forcing space

agencies to alter launch schedules and height of orbits to avoid collision. every orbiting satellite keeps an eye on these

objects and if they are likely to come in the vicinity of our operational satellite, we have to do some manoeuvres to

ensure that there is no collision, Kiran stated. ISRO also uses information from the public domain on orbiting objects

and has set up observation stations.









It is looking at making use of its capabilities to contribute to the global community, he stated. ISRO stated the MoU

will pave way for future collaborations between ISRO and ARIES in establishing optical telescope observational

facilities for space object tracking, R&D studies in space weather, astrophysics and near Earth objects.

IIT-Ropar’s machine to sterilise products using UV rays

IIT- Ropar has designed a machine in which products can be sterilised using UV rays. The institute has also

started consulting a Chandigarh-based manufacturing company Esspee Industries for its production.

The UV-C Sterlisation Unit was conceptualised and designed by Senior Scientific Officer Naresh Rakha, Dr Khushboo

Rakha and Executive Engineer TS Anand.

The Machine is used to sterilise grocery items using UV rays.

The UV lights of the unit, which is equipped to kill germs including fungus, viruses and bacteria, should only be used

IIT, Hyderabad researchers develops low cost and Artificial Intelligence-based test kit for

COVID-19









Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology-Hyderabad have developed a low cost and

Artificial Intelligence-based test kit for COVID-19. These kits can give results in about 20 minutes.

The test kits have already been tried at the ESIC hospital and the results are encouraging. He stated the test

kits are Reverse Transition Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)-free and get rid of many processes.

The cost of COVID testing with these IIT-H BioChips will be around 600 rupees and can be almost halved

in case of mass production of the chips.

These kits can be transported to rural areas as they are very light and helpful to increase the testing for

COVID-19 in the country.

Scientists develop indigenous nasopharyngeal swabs

CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory (CSIR-NCL), Pune, has developed an indigenous NP swab for

collecting samples from the throat cavity of COVID-19 patients.

The need for making available domestic technology for NP swabs was flagged by CSIR to NCL in mid-April.

Nasopharyngeal swab is a medical device with stringent specifications of quality, polymer grade, dimensions and

sterilization. An NP swab consists of a cylindrical plastic stick with a brush-like tip of synthetic bristles/flocks. The

flocking process helps align the fine bristles in a parallel orientation on the stick head, much like a tooth brush, except

that this has round uniform geometry and the NP swab bristles are of micron diameter.

ARCI develops Rare earth based magnetocaloric material for cancer treatment

Scientists at the International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials

(ARCI), an autonomous R&D Centre of Department of Science and Technology (DST) has developed a rare-earth-

based magnetocaloric material that can be effectively used for cancer treatment.

The magnetocaloric materials (certain materials in which application and removal of a magnetic field causes the

materials to become warmer or cooler) developed by ARCI are being tested at Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for

Medical Sciences & Technology (SCTIMST). A paper on the research work has been published in the Journal of

Alloys and Compounds.

This method, when used in conjunction with radiation therapy, would reduce

the side effects, damage caused to the human body and also reduce the treatment time of cancer tumours.
