Mumbai: India’s hand was not touched earlier NASA10 billion dollars James Webb Space Telescope, the world’s largest and most powerful, flew into the sky on an Ariane 5 rocket from a European spaceport kourou in French Guyana on Saturday.
NASA selected India among seven countries for a pre-launch briefing on its website three days ago about the mission – the quest to observe light from stars and galaxies and scour the universe for signs of life.
born in Lucknow Hashima HassanNASA’s JWST program scientist represented India. Before the precious cargo sailed off the northeastern coast of South America, he spoke in Hindi and said: “With unprecedented infrared sensitivity, it goes back more than 13.5 years to see the first galaxies born after the Big Bang. Will come.”
He had a doctorate in theoretical nuclear physics from the University of Oxford, having previously worked with Tata Institute for Fundamental Research (TIFR) and Barc in Mumbai—the city where she met her future husband at the Taj Mahal Hotel.
“When the Russians launched Artificial satellite And my grandmother gathered the whole family one morning to watch from atop Satellite Pass, I wanted nothing more than space exploration,” Hassan wrote on the NASA website. She said she had promised herself that one day she would work for NASA after landing a man on the moon. From Oxford to TIFR to NASA, where she joined as a senior scientist in 1994 to manage missions and research programs in astrophysics, her mother, teachers and colleagues were encouraging her.
In another Indian connection, NASA chose a painting of schoolgirl Gouralakshmi to highlight the artwork of other children at the launch of the telescope.
Nearly 25 years in the making, JWST is the next generation space science observatory after Hubble Space Telescope, It will be located at a distance of 2-1.5 m km from Earth, or more than four times that of the Moon, at a place called Lagrange Point. Equipped with four instruments, its mission duration ranges from five to 15 years.
