India's First Navigational Satellite launched!!!
India’s first dedicated navigation satellite, the IRNSS-1A, developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation, was successfully put in orbit on Monday night.
The launch vehicle, PSLV-C22, bearing the 1,425-kg navigation satellite, blasted off the launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre here at the scheduled lift-off time of 11.41 p.m.
As the PSLV-C22 tore into the night skies and set off four stages of ignition and separation, all the while gaining in altitude and velocity, down on earth, twitchy mission controllers at the command centre awaited the final confirmation of the mission’s success.
A round of applause greeted the successful kick-starting of the fourth stage of ignition, arguably the most critical component of the mission to place the satellite in the targeted orbit.
About 20 minutes after the lift-off, the PSLV-C22 completed its task of injecting the IRNSS-1A into a sub geosynchronous transfer orbit with a 284-km perigee (nearest point to the Earth) and 20,650 km apogee (farthest point from the Earth).
As the final act of the rocket separating from the satellite unfurled on the giant screen at the mission control room, the gathering of scientists and engineers broke into cheers and applause.
Once again, Team ISRO had pulled off with clockwork precision the roughly 65-hour countdown that began on June 29 and ended in the lift-off close to midnight on July 1.
ISRO Chairman K. Radhakrishnan, who congratulated the team, said that with the successful launch, India had entered a new era in space applications.
P.J. Kurien, Deputy Chairman, Rajya Sabha, said it was a great moment for the nation.
Yash Pal, one of the doyens of India’s space programme, was also present.
The IRNSS-1A is the first of the proposed seven satellites in the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System. Apart from India, its benefits would extend to a range of 1,500 km in the region.

Geography of Maharashtra - MPSP
Maharashtra is a state located in western India. It is the second most populous after Uttar Pradesh, third largest state by area in India and the richest state in India contributing to approximately 25% of the country's industrial output and to 23.2% of its GDP in 2010-11.
Maharashtra encompasses an area of 308,000 km² (119,000 mi²), and is the third largest state in India. It is bordered by the states of Madhya Pradesh to the north, Chhattisgarh to the east, Andhra Pradesh to the southeast, Karnataka to the south, and Goa to the southwest. The state of Gujarat lies to the northwest, with the Union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli sandwiched in between. The Arabian Sea makes up Maharashtra's west coast.
The Western Ghats better known as Sahyadri are a hilly range running parallel to the coast, at an average elevation of 1,200 metres (4,000 ft). Kalsubai, a peak in the Sahyadris, near Nashik City is the highest elevated point in Maharashtra. To the west of these hills lie the Konkan coastal plains, 50–80 kilometres in width. To the east of the Ghats lies the flat Deccan Plateau. The Western Ghats form one of the three watersheds of India, from which many South Indian rivers originate, notable among them being Godavari River, and Krishna, which flow eastward into the Bay of Bengal, forming one of the greatest river basins in India.
The State has 35 districts which are divided into six revenue divisions (Konkan, Pune, Nashik, Aurangabad, Amravati and Nagpur) for administrative purposes and eight educational division (Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, Aurangabad, Amravati, Nagpur, Kolhapur and Latur) These 35 districts are further divided into 109 sub-divisions of the districts and 355 talukas. The State has a long tradition of having very powerful bodies for planning at the district / local level. For local self-governance in rural areas, there are 33 Zilla Parishads, 355 panchayat samities and 27,993 Gram Panchayat. The urban areas are governed through 23 Municipal Corporations, 222 Municipal Councils and 4 Nagar Panchayat.

Mesosphere has the minimum temperature of atmosphere going upto -100 C.
Thermosphere contains Ions or charged particles which help in transmission of radio waves.
Exosphere is space as the air becomes very very thin.
Atmosphere consists of Five layers
- Troposphere (upto 16 km)
- Stratosphere (16 to 50 km)
- Mesosphere (50 to 80 km)
- Thermosphere (80 to 640 km)
- Exosphere (Space)
