NEW DELHI: Aiming to develop a method to predict collision from space debris,Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Delhi, has received research funding from the National Super Computing Mission (NSM), implemented by the department of science and technology (DST).
The project titled ‘Orbit computation of Resident Space Objects for Space Situational Awareness’ has to be completed in two years. The project will be led by IIIT-Delhi faculty Sanat K Biswas and Arun Balaji Buduru.
Elaborating on the project, Biswas said, “There are more than 20,000 man-made objects of more than 10 cm in size floating around in near-earth space that pose collision threats to functional satellites. Predicting collision probability from these space objects is crucial from the national security perspective as well as for the protection of public and private space assets of Indian origin.”

Just three months into the year, India has already recorded half a dozen deaths by people taking selfies. And that’s just the ones that are recorded.
Police officials say the number of selfie fatalities could be much higher, possibly in the thousands, as many cases go unreported and “death by selfie” is not recognised as an official cause of death.
Around the world, the simple act of snapping photos of oneself has become such a life-threatening activity, some refer to it as a “killfie”. The scourge of deaths by selfies is particularly concentrated in India, which has in recent years become dubbed the “selfie death capital of the world”.
