HSS mourns the passing of its America Sanghachalak (President) Prof. Ved Prakash Nanda on Monday, January 1st, 2024 in his hometown Denver, CO. He was surrounded by his close family and HSS volunteers.

Born in 1934 in Gujranwala of the undivided India, Prof. Nanda underwent an arduous immigration to the Punjab state in India along with his family during the partition of Pakistan from India. He went on to build an exemplary career starting from M.A. Economics from Punjab University, Law degree from Delhi University in India, and LLM from Northwestern University and subsequent postgraduate work from Yale University in the US. He was a champion of Human Rights and a successful International Law professor at the University of Denver Denver’s Sturm College of Law since 1972.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Deeply saddened by the passing away of Professor Ved Prakash Nanda Ji, a distinguished academic whose contributions to the legal field are invaluable. His work highlights his strong commitment to legal education. He was also a prominent member of the Indian diaspora in USA and was passionate about strong India-USA relations. Condolences to his family and friends. Om Shanti.

#WATCH | Canadian MP Chandra Arya says, "Few days back Khalistan movement leader in Canada and the president of Sikhs for Justice which organizes the so-called referendum, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun attacked Hindu-Canadians asking us to leave Canada and go back to India. I have heard from many Hindu-Canadians who are fearful after this targeted attack. I urge Hindu-Canadians to stay calm but vigilant...The Khalistan movement leader is trying to provoke the Hindu-Canadians to react and divide the Hindu and Sikh communities in Canada. Let me be clear. Vast majority of our Canadian Sikh brothers and sisters do not support Khalistan movement. Most Sikh Canadians may not publicly condemn the Khalistan movement for several reasons but they are deeply connected to the Hindu-Canadian community...I can’t understand how glorification of terrorism or a hate crime targeting a religious group is allowed in the name of freedom of speech and expression..."

Sunrise is expected to have occurred at the Shiv Shakti point today and soon Vikram and Pragyan will be receiving usable amounts of sunlight!☀️⚡️

#ISRO will now wait for them to heat up above a certain temperature before beginning attempts to re-establish communications with them on 22 Sept. #Chandrayaan3

Aditya-L1 Mission:
The second Earth-bound maneuvre (EBN#2) is performed successfully from ISTRAC, Bengaluru.

ISTRAC/ISRO's ground stations at Mauritius, Bengaluru and Port Blair tracked the satellite during this operation.

The new orbit attained is 282 km x 40225 km.

The next maneuvre (EBN#3) is scheduled for September 10, 2023, around 02:30 Hrs. IST

We have touchdown...AGAIN! 🌘

Yesterday the Vikram Lander fired up its thrusters once again to perform a little hop on the Lunar surface, becoming only the 2nd spacecraft to ever do so! 🥈

It lifted off, got to an altitude of only 40 cm and then landed again 30-40 cm away.

To safely perform this hop, the ChaSTE and ILSA instruments as well as the ramps had to be retracted and have been successfully redeployed after landing.

The reason for this hop was to test out aspects of future sample return missions and crewed missions to the Moon by ISRO!!

Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
The Rover completed its assignments.

It is now safely parked and set into Sleep mode.
APXS and LIBS payloads are turned off.
Data from these payloads is transmitted to the Earth via the Lander.

Currently, the battery is fully charged.
The solar panel is oriented to receive the light at the next sunrise expected on September 22, 2023.
The receiver is kept on.

Hoping for a successful awakening for another set of assignments!
Else, it will forever stay there as India's lunar ambassador.

[ISRO @isro]

Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
The rover was rotated in search of a safe route. The rotation was captured by a Lander Imager Camera.

It feels as though a child is playfully frolicking in the yards of Chandamama, while the mother watches affectionately.
Isn't it?🙂

We are hours away from the launch of Aditya-L1, India's first space-based solar observatory. 🇮🇳
It is also going to be ISRO's first mission to the L1 point!

That's right, unlike what you may have seen in the media, Aditya-L1 is NOT headed to the Sun. ☀️
Instead, it is going to a region in space called the Lagrange 1 or L1 point (that's why it is called Aditya-𝗟𝟭), which is only 1% of the distance to the Sun away from Earth!

Even then, it is roughly 15 lakh km away from the Earth, about 4 times the distance to the Moon! 🌖

The reason it is going to the L1 point is because at that distance, the gravity of the Earth and that of the Sun cancel each other out! This means the spacecraft won't have to orbit the Earth and can just sit in a "halo orbit" around the L1 point, allowing it to continuously observe the Sun!

ISRO Supremacy 😍

#ISRO Just released more clear & sharp image of #VikramLander taken by #PragyanRover on #Moon South Pole 🌖

This images define the perfect pin point landing of #Chandrayaan3 done by ISRO 🇮🇳

We can also see Moon Surface being drilled by ChasTE machine 😍

Smile, please📸!

Pragyan Rover clicked an image of Vikram Lander this morning.

The 'image of the mission' was taken by the Navigation Camera onboard the Rover (NavCam).

Chandrayaan-3 Mission:

On August 27, 2023, the Rover came across a 4-meter diameter crater positioned 3 meters ahead of its location.
The Rover was commanded to retrace the path.

It's now safely heading on a new path.

Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
Here are the first observations from the ChaSTE payload onboard Vikram Lander.

ChaSTE (Chandra's Surface Thermophysical Experiment) measures the temperature profile of the lunar topsoil around the pole, to understand the thermal behaviour of the moon's surface. It has a temperature probe equipped with a controlled penetration mechanism capable of reaching a depth of 10 cm beneath the surface. The probe is fitted with 10 individual temperature sensors.

The presented graph illustrates the temperature variations of the lunar surface/near-surface at various depths, as recorded during the probe's penetration. This is the first such profile for the lunar south pole. Detailed observations are underway.

The payload is developed by a team led by the Space Physics Laboratory (SPL), VSSC https://t.co/qBAOCsr4Vu collaboration with PRL, Ahmedabad https://t.co/7DNjnLiXua
