NASA Astronaut Reaches Historic Milestone

NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei reached a historic milestone this week, claiming the record for the longest single spaceflight of a U.S. astronaut.

Vande Hei arrived at the International Space Station on April 9, 2021, and is expected to return home on March 30, 2022, after spending 355 days in low-Earth orbit. This duration breaks the previous record for the most consecutive days in space by an American explorer, held by retired NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, by 15 days.


During his mission, Vande Hei has worked on hundreds of experiments and investigations to benefit life on Earth and expand NASA’s knowledge of how the human body adapts to long-term spaceflight. His contributions will help pave the way for more people to travel to space on longer-duration missions as NASA pushes the boundaries of exploration to the Moon and Mars.

Live coverage of the activities surrounding Vande Hei’s departure from the space station will air on NASA Television, the NASA app, and our official social media channels starting at 11:30 p.m. EDT on Tues., March 29. Coverage of the deorbit burn and landing of the Soyuz MS-19 spacecraft in Kazakhstan is expected to begin at 6:15 a.m. EDT on Wed., March 30.

The IPF Online Volunteer Scheme is a platform to build partnerships between citizens and the police.  IPF Volunteers will help in promoting community engagement, trust, and harmony among citizens, spreading awareness about how policing touches the lives of every citizen and why good policing is essential for India’s internal security and economic development. 
  
Our Police Forces perform a crucial role in protecting the lives and property of citizens, controlling crime, and maintaining societal peace which is considered essential for India’s internal security and democracy. IPF believes that a peaceful and crime-free society is essential to focus on India’s fight against poverty, unemployment, and disease and a pre-condition to India’s growth as a strong political and economic power.
 

This is an opportunity for students, youth, RWAs, and citizens in general, to participate in voluntary work for a public cause: to be an IPF Online Volunteer to conduct the annual Citizen Satisfaction Survey on the quality of policing in your area.

    MCD Trifurcation - Cash crunch at EDMC - East Delhi suffered badly !

    In 2011, the Sheila Dikshit government moved a proposal to divide the MCD into three separate bodies, arguing that it will improve overall efficiency. In November 2011, the Union home ministry cleared the proposal. 


    The Delhi government convened a special assembly session and passed the Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Bill in December 2011. Then-President Pratibha Patil cleared it in the same month.

    The final notification for the trifurcation was issued in January 2012, carving North, South, and East Delhi Municipal Corporations with 104 wards given to the first two and 64 to the third respectively.

    We knew that EDMC will face a severe cash crunch & we opposed the proposal from day one.

    And we faced the Strike by the Sanitation workers in East Delhi. In fact, there were multiple strikes & residents faced garbage all over. 

    We can just hope that the Unification of MCD will improve the overall situation of the areas under EDMC, which has so many issues such as Air - Pollution, Waterlogging, Parking, Traffic jam, Encroachment, Right to walk, etc.
