ATLANTIS RETURNS SAFELY
RUNWAY 33,SHUTTLE LANDING FACILITY,FL
SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS LANDED SAFELY BACK ON THE EARTH AT 9:44 AM EST ON 27TH NOVEMBER AFTER COMPLETING MISSION STS 129
friday, Nov. 27, 2009, 09:44a.m. EST
Landing Site:
Kennedy Space Center, Florida
Mission Elapsed Time:
10 days, 19 hours, 16 minutes, 13 seconds
Official Landing Times
Main gear touchdown:
9:44:23 a.m. EST
Nose gear touchdown:
9:44:36 a.m. EST
Wheels stop:
9:45:05 a.m. EST
Total miles:
more than 4.5 million
Space shuttle Atlantis and its crew of seven astronauts ended an 11-day journey with a 9:44 a.m. EST landing at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Atlantis flew 171 orbits around Earth and traveled 4,490,138 miles since its Nov. 16 launch.
The STS-129 mission included three spacewalks and the installation of two platforms to the International Space Station's truss, or backbone. The platforms hold large spare parts to sustain station operations after the shuttles are retired.
The shuttle crew delivered about 30,000 pounds of replacement parts for systems that provide power to the station, keep it from overheating, and maintain a proper orientation in space. The shuttle left the space station 86 percent complete, weighing 759,222 pounds.
Astronaut Nicole Stott returned to Earth after 91 days in space. She had spent 87 days aboard the space station and 80 days as an Expedition 20/21 flight engineer. She is the last astronaut who will be transported to or from the space station by the space shuttle.
Atlantis' main gear touched down at 9:44:23 a.m., followed by the nose gear at 9:44:36 and wheel stop at 9:45:05 a.m.
STS-129 was the 129th space shuttle mission, the 31st for Atlantis and the 31st shuttle mission to the International Space Station. It was the fifth and final flight of 2009.

LCROSS CONFIRMS WATER ON MOON
AKSHAY;S GYAAN WOULD TURN ON THAT NEWS AFTER THE MAINTAINENCE WORK IS OVER
AKSHAY
Saturday, October 31, 2009
A MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT IN ASTRO-PHYSICS. EINSTEIN WAS RIGHT IN HIS IDEA OF SPACE-TIME FABRIC
Friday, October 23, 2009
NEW DISCOVERIES FROM THE UNIVERSE. AKSHAY'S GYAAN UPDATE ON IT
ONE WAS THE DISCOVERY OF ORGANIC MOLECULE NEAR A EXOPLANET.
IT IS A JUPITER SIZED PLANET THAT IS ORBITING A STAR.THE MOLECULE
FOUND IS METHANE WHICH UNDER SOME CONDITIONS IS ESSENTIAL FOR
LIFE.THIS PLANET IS 63 LIGHT YEARS AWAY FROM US IN CONSTELLATION
VULPECULA.THE OBSERVATION WAS MADE WHEN THIS OBJECT PASSED INFRONT OF
THE PARENT STAR THROUGH A PHENOMENA CALLED AS TRANSIT. SO IT PROVIDED
THE ASTRONOMERS TO HAVE A VIEW OF ITS ATMOSPHERE.
2] THE SECOND ONE IS THAT SPIZTER TELESCOPE DISCOVERED THE LARGEST
RING AROUND SATURN.
The new belt lies at the far reaches of the Saturnian system, with an
orbit tilted 27 degrees from the main ring plane. The bulk of its
material starts about six million kilometers (3.7 million miles) away
from the planet and extends outward roughly another 12 million
kilometers (7.4 million miles). One of Saturn's farthest moons,
Phoebe, circles within the newfound ring, and is likely the source of
its material.
3] THE THIRD ONE IS THAT FURTHEST GALAXY CLUSTER HAS BEEN DETECTED. IT
IS SITUATED AT 10.2 BILLION LIGHT YEARS AWAY FROM US. THE PREVIOUS
KNOWN WAS JUST 1 BILLION LIGHT YEARS AWAY FROM US.
SPACE WILL KEEP US FASCINATING FOR YEARS AND I WILL UPDATE AS LONG AS I CAN

CRSA EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION FOR 11-23 OCT 09
CRSA
EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION
CONV 1 OCT
CRSA HQ.
NGP-22
CODE PREDICTION- CRSA100794 11
CRSA HAS PICKED UP EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION IN THIS MONTH. THIS IS A NON ECLIPSE MONTH WHICH IS SURELY GOING TO AFFECT THE RATE BUT NOT THE MAGNITUDE.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The chance of a super earthquake like that was a 7.3M VANUATU or the other regions in indonesia.
However we might have mid earthquakes which are most favourable in some parts of the world lilke the trench which is is the pacific near papua new gunea
PAPAU NEW GUNEA- I have liked it as there are mostly 5.5M +_ Earthquakes here
This month we have picked up on Kuril Islands,Japan and Papau New Gunea. Philippines region
We also have forecasted near new zealand as shown in the map
Chance of Some earthquakes Magnitued less is there is the gulf of california
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CON 1 OCT-- 11th oct 09 - 23 oct 09
This code derives five earthquake outlooks
1] kuril Islands
We say that the area around kuril islands as provided in the map has a potentials for some earthquakes
Magnitude will vary between
5.1M to 6.1M on richter scale..
2] Phillipipine region
Here we say there is a chance of earthquake
Range
5M-6M on ritcher scale
3] Papau new gunea
In this area i think there is a chance of some earthquake as for a long time this area has been quiet. Last one was 4.9 M on Oct 06..
Here magnitude will vary
5.3-6.2
I say there is a chance of a moderate earthquake ranging from 6.2-6.5 here within the convective area
4] New Zealand region
This is named as they are Near New Zealand. But main land of NZ has low risk of earthquakes
It includes
SOLOMON ISLANDS,vanatanu,New Caledonia.
Magnitude will be above 5.5 on ritcher scale.
this region has been violating since last few days. the previous recorded earthquake has been 5.6 in Vanatanu 3 hours before the release of this OUTLOOK
5] It includes Western USA.
West USA has been surprising a lot as one of my predictions was incorrect the last month, With some improvements I think there will be low earthquake
3M to 4M
6] It is an unofficial earthquake forecasting as there are regular earthquakes in the alaska region
I again forecast a low earthquake
Generally
2.4-3.2 On ritcher scale

CALCULATIONS OF THE ORIGIN OF DARK ENERGY
#100 FOR AKSHAY'S GYAAN#
EVENT HORIZON OF A BLACK HOLE
ARTICLE- 99
BIG BANG BEFORE BIG BANG
98th Article,
""I have idea that were there were bigbangs before the big bang which we know.As dark energy is supposed to accelerate the rate of expansion of universe, was it so that after some years the universe will begin to contract and will get coverted into a form of 1 big body which will have the nature opposite to the body from which we all were born. Thus i mean that is it so that after x yrs universe contracts.then it gets fully contracted into a giant mass body. the body then begins to expand because of some tendancy and then again explodes.""
It was just my thought during the science conference in my school. but when it was verified by Dr. Apte,Ph.d Physics, I felt happy
Actual thing is that currently the universe is in the state of expansion, the rate is being accelerated by dark energy. which constitutes about 73% of our universe. After some years 80 billion years there will be another big bang and again universe will be formed. It will happen as follow--
Universe will expand with increasing rate. After 40 billion years,The effect of dark energy will be maximum and after that time,
that is just after a second dark energy will no more act on us and then the gravitational force will be the strongest one, so you will be having a collapse after another 40 billion years from that period. Once the entire matter is concentrated, it will again explode. Thus this is alternate expansion and contraction of universe. This can be slightly compared to Moon Miranda.
REMEMBER IT CANT BE ENTIRELY COMPARED WITH MIRANDA.
The main question is where will the dark energy go?
i have an answer,Dark energy will be converted to other forms of energy. At the last stage it will be zero and everything will be converted in other energy. Currently Dark energy is stronger than gravitational force.
Please see the next article which reveals the source and secrets of dark energy"
What is the moon impact of LCROSS
Details about Yesterday's event-
WHATS THE IMPACT ON MOON!
DEAR ALL
A happy moment for we space lovers as i finally got to see a LIVE LUNAR DESCENT. Many of you must have seen Neil Amstrong's descent. But i didn't see it
Whats LRO/LCROSS?
LRO is a spacecraft of nasa
IT'S MAIN PURPOSE IS TO MAP THE MOON!
LCROSS IS A SPACECRAFT THAT IMACTED THE MOON.
The LCROSS mission is a search for water on the moon. The LCROSS mission is going to do this by sending a rocket crashing into the moon causing a big impact and creating a crater, throwing tons of debris and potentially water ice and vapor above the lunar surface. This impact will release materials from the lunar surface that will be analyzed for the presence of hydrated minerals which would tell researchers if water is there or not. The two main components of the LCROSS mission are the Shepherding Spacecraft (S-S/C) and the Centaur upper stage rocket. The Shepherding Spacecraft guides the rocket to a site selected on the moon that has a high probability of containing water. Because they have only one chance with this mission in finding water, the researchers have to be very precise where they program the Shepherding Spacecraft to guide the rocket.
The Shepherding Spacecraft and Centaur rocket are launched together with another spacecraft called the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). All three are connected to each other for launch, but then the LRO separates one hour after launch. The Shepherding Spacecraft guides the Centaur rocket through multiple Earth orbits, each taking about 38 days. The rocket then separates from the Shepherding Spacecraft and impacts the Moon at more than twice the speed of a bullet, causing an impact that results in a big plume or cloud of lunar debris, and possibly water. While this is happening the Shepherding Spacecraft, which has scientific instruments on-board including cameras, is taking pictures of the rocket’s descent and impact into the moon. Four minutes later, the Shepherding Spacecraft follows almost the exact same path as the rocket, descending down through the big plume and analyzing it with special instruments. The analysis is specifically looking for water (ice and vapor), hydrocarbons and hydrated materials. The Shepherding Spacecraft is collecting data continuously and transmitting it back to Earth before its own demise. This crash will be so big that we on Earth may be able to view the resulting plume of material it ejects with a good amateur telescope.
SO IN SHORT A COSMIC DRILL WHICH IMPACTED THE MOON. LIKE IT TAKES PLACE IN MINING. THE SURFACE ON MOON RISES HIGH IN SPACE DUE TO EXPLOSION. ANOTHER SPACECRAFT SHEPHERDING SPACECRAFT FOLLOWS IT AND TAKES IMAGES,DATAS AND RELAYS BACK TO EARTH.
I MUST SAY,WONDERFUL IDEA.
ALL THE EVENTS WHICH WERE PLANNED BY NASA TOOK PLACE SUCCESSFULLY. LCROSS IMPACTED THE MOON ABOUT 7 MINS LATE IN THE SHADOW REGION OF CABEUS REGION
WHY WAS CABEUS ONLY SELECTED?
Cabeus is a crater which is in the southern polar region of the moon about 100 kms away from South Pole. Cabeus appears slant from the earth and most of it remains in darkenss. due to this to potential for water/ice
That's why it was decided to impact this crater
I SENT MY and my father's NAME ABOARD THE ORBITER AND NOW WE HAVE OUR NAME ON THE MOON..
WITH JOY

Water findings on the moon!
INVESTIGATION OF PRESENCE OF WATER ON MOON
-BY AKSHAY DEORAS
EVENT 1-
ANNOUNCEMENT 24/09/09
MISSION-CHANDRAYAAN-1
PAYLOAD- M3 <MOON MINERAL MAPPER>
EVENT 2-
APOLLO 15 CREW TOOK SAMPLES OF THE MOON ROCKS FROM THE VOLCANIC AREA NEAR MOON'S HADLEY.
MOON'S HADLEY AN AREA IN N.HEMISPHERE OF MOON.
NASA FINDS WATER <TRACE AMOUNTS> IN JULY 2008
EVENT-3
CASSINI-HUYGENS FLYBY MOON IN 1999
EVENT-4
NASA'S EPOXI SPACECRAFT FLYBY JUNE 2009
CONCLUSIONS FROM ALL 4 MISSIONS HAVE INDICATED PRESENCE OF WATER ON MOON
THE WATER IS NOT AS SUCH IT IS ON THE EARTH IN RIVERS,SEAS ETC.
MOON-
MOON IS THE NATURAL SATELLITE OF THE EARTH.IT WAS CONSIDERED TO BE DRY TILL DECADES. MOON HAVING RARE ATMOSPHERE IS LIKE OTHER PLANETS. ONE SIDE IS IN SUN;S LIGHT AND THE OTHER IN DARKNESS.
THE SIDE OF THE MOON WHICH IS IN DARKNESS HAS A GREATER POTENTIAL FOR INTERESTING FINDINGS.
MOON IS 5.145 DEGREE TILTED WITH ITS AXIS. THIS MEANS THE POLES OF THE MOON ARE NEVER EXPOSED TO THE SUN. AS A RESULT OF THIS THERE IS NO SUCH RISE IN TEMPERATURES IN THAT AREA.
CHANDRAYAAN-1 HAD A POLAR ORBIT OF 100 X 100KM. IT HAD A PAYLOAD OF NASA AT THE TOP KNOWN AS MOON MINEROLOGY MAPPER<M3>
the moon minerology mapper
IT FUNCTIONS ON THE STUDY OF THE REFLECTION OF LIGHT FROM THE MOON. ITS A KIND OF SPECTROMETER. THE SCALE WAS USED AFTER COMPARISON FROM THE SPECTROGRAPHS OF EARTH. M3 TEAM DISCOVERED THAT THE WAVELENGTHS OF THE LIGHT BEING ABSORVED WERE SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE O-H GROUP<HYDORXYL>
WAVELENGTH- DISTANCE BETWEEN THE ADJACENT CREST AND TROUGH OF THE WAVE OVER AND BELOW THE NORMAL TO THE WAVE.
CASSINI SPACECRAFT FOUND THE HYDROXYL GROUPS EVEN IN THE SUNLIT AREA BUT THE SIGNATURE OF <OH> WAS STRONG IN THE POLAR REGION.
THE RANGE FOUND WAS-
1000 water molecule parts-per-million could be in the lunar soil
THE TEAM RETURNED TO THE RESULTS OF THE SPACECRAFT EPOXI.
EPOXI EXPANDED THE RESULT THUS PROVING THAT THE HYDROXYL GROUP IS AFFECTED DUE TO THE SUNRISE,PHYSIOGRAPHY AND OTHER FACTORS OF MOON.
THIS IS THE WORKING OF THE MOON MINERAL MAPPER. ITS A STATE-OF-ART FOR NASA....
THESE ARE THE SPECTRAL LINES. A COMPARISON OF M3 IMAGE AND APOLLO IMAGE. THE LINES HELP TO DETERMINE SURFACE COMPOSITON.
THIS GRAPH SHOWS COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT OBSERVATIONS
THE IMAGE ON RIGHT SHOWS WATER MARKS ROUND A CRATER SEEN ON LEFT
ORIGIN OF WATER.
IT CAN BE SAID THAT WATER HAS ORIGINATED DUE TO IMPACT OF COMETS,METEROIDS ETC ON THE MOON
