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 INDIAN POLICE FOUNDATION (IPF) IS LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS TO HELP US CARRY OUT A CITIZEN SATISFACTION SURVEY ON THE QUALITY OF POLICING IN YOUR LOCALITY.
Do you have the passion and dedication to play a positive role in improving crime control and security in your area?
Greetings from the Indian Police Foundation (IPF)!
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. Citizens of a democratic country have an important responsibility of providing feedback on the quality of governance. Our Citizen Satisfaction Survey is intended to understand public perceptions about the quality of police service and thereby help the police to continuously improve their services. RWAs have an important role to play in improving the quality of policing, public security, regulation of traffic, etc.
TEN VOLUNTEERS EACH, FROM EVERY DISTRICT IN INDIA
IPF invites the partnership of RWAs from every District of India, to be our Online Volunteers to support us in this mission. The IPF Online Volunteers will be required to assist us in conducting the annual citizen satisfaction survey so that we can capture feedback and diverse voices, from every district in the country.
Please note that this call is for persons wanting to volunteer. There is no financial or any other remuneration for this voluntary work. However, in the future, IPF plans to hold seminars, discussions, webinars, etc to help RWAs to improve crime control and community policing. We shall continue to remain in touch with you for this purpose. Online Volunteers from RWAs will be given e-Certificates of Volunteering, in recognition of their contribution, at the end of the year.
