NEW DELHI, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- India Thursday scripted a twin success by successfully launching its advanced weather satellite INSAT-3DR into space on board its heavy-duty rocket fitted with the indigenous cryogenic engine, which undertook its maiden operational flight.
The take-off of Geo-synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV), carrying the 2211-kg weather satellite, took place at 4.50 p.m. local time from the spaceport of Sriharikota in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, after a delay of 40 minutes over an anomaly.
The state-owned Indian Space Reseach Organization (ISRO) announced that INSAT-3DR, with a mission life of 10 years, was successfully put into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit about 17 minutes later.
"Today we have achieved another landmark, the first operational flight of the GSLV and the INSAT- 3DR has been put in orbit. The launch vehicle has performed extremely well," Kiran Kumar, the head of the space agency, told the media.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is currently in Laos, has congratulated the space agency on its tweet.
The satellite is special for its imaging capabilities for night-time photos. It also carries a special search and rescue transponder, which will help in satellite-aided rescue operations.
But the success of GSLV was more crucial for the space agency since it will be the vehicle to launch the second moon mission -- Chandrayaan-2 -- next year. India's first mission to moon was a huge success.
Cryogenic engines are special rocket engines that use liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen as fuel.
BEIJING
, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) -- China's national weather observatory on Sunday forecast cloud cover and rain in southwestern areas for the next three days.
While the rainfall will mainly be light to medium, parts of Yunnan and Sichuan and southeastern Tibet will see much heavier precipitation with even rainstorms on the cards, according to the National Meteorological Center (NMC).
Tibet can also expect snow in central and eastern parts.
Other areas including Inner Mongolia, Hebei and Gansu are also likely to be affected by a rain belt which will gradually weaken as it moves northward.
The NMC cautioned against geological disasters caused by torrential rain in Tibet and Yunnan and disruption to transport.
Gales up to scale 12 are expected in the East China Sea
, the Bohai Sea and the Yellow sea, as well as waters near Taiwan. A yellow alert has been issued, the second least serious in a four-tier system.
BEIJING, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- The Communist Party of China (CPC) has included Xi Jinping's military thinking and the Party's "absolute" leadership over the armed forces into its Constitution
, according to a resolution approved by the 19th CPC National Congress on Tuesday.
According to the resolution, the CPC shall uphold its absolute leadership over the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and other people's armed forces and implement Xi Jinping's thinking on strengthening the military, as part of the amendments to the CPC's fundamental document for its over 89 million members.
The development of the PLA shall be strengthened by enhancing its political loyalty, strengthening it through reform and technology
, and running it in accordance with the law, the resolution read.
The CPC shall build people's forces that obey the Party's command, can fight and win, and maintain excellent conduct to ensure that the PLA accomplishes its missions and tasks in the new era
, it said.
The inclusion of these statements into the Party Constitution will "help ensure the Party's absolute leadership over the people's armed forces, [and] modernize national defense and the military," it said.
In addition, the amendment to the CPC Constitution also clarified that Chairperson of the Central Military Commission (CMC) assumes overall responsibility over the work of the Commission and that the CMC is responsible for Party work and political work in the armed forces.
This complies with the realistic requirement to ensure the CMC fulfills its responsibility for Party self-supervision and self-governance after the military reform
, the resolution said.
The artificial eye is a combination of science and art. A specialist is needed to create it, and through trial and error the artificial eye of today is much less detectable and fits much better than in the past. It is truly a work of art, as well, matched so closely with the person s other eye that many people don t even notice any discrepancy. But how did it get that way? How does it remain in place so well?
Many people use a maxillofacial surgeon or other facial doctor when they lose an eye
, because they know that these kinds of doctors are well trained in both facial reconstruction and prosthetics. As prosthetics become easier to work with, there will very likely be more doctors who undertake this kind of work, but a specialist with a lot of experience is still the best and most comfortable choice for most people who are facing facial reconstruction that includes an artificial eye.
When an artificial eye is created it is made to fit, through precision measurements
, so that it will stay in place until the wearer dislodges it for cleaning or any other maintenance that it needs. Contrary to popular belief an artificial eye is not round like a marble, but rather thick and slightly concave, like a very heavy contact lens. The outer edges of it are contoured to fit a specific person s facial makeup, because everyone is just a little bit different in the exact size and shape of their eyes and the eye sockets.
After the prosthetic eye is made
, the color must be matched to the original eye color of the patient. This might sound easy ? eyes are brown, blue, green, or hazel ? but it s mu.
