    FICCI Business Delegation to join FICCI-IIFA Global Business Forum 2016

    NEW DELHI: Coinciding with completion of 60 years of diplomatic relations between India and Spain, the tenth edition of Global Business Forum is being held later this week in Madrid by FICCI in partnership with International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) and Spain Chamber of Commerce(SCC).

    FICCI President Harshavardhan Neotia is leading a 30-member delegation to the mneet on 24 June 2016.

    Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) Additional Secretary & Financial Advisor Subhash Chandra Pandey would represent the Government for promoting regional linkages between India and Spain,.

    A large number of Spanish senior officials and industry leaders would also be present and share their perspective on further promoting trade and investment relations between the two countries.

    With a view to highlight the sectoral complementarity and business possibilities between the two countries, the forum shall have prominent industry and sectoral leaders to share their perspective during parallel sessions focusing on renewable energy, media and entertainment & promoting cooperation in film making, infrastructure with a special emphasis on urban transport and highways, tourism and smart cities.

    A Working Paper on “India-Spain: Synergising Economic complementarity” would also be released apart from FICCI signing a partnership agreement with SCC at the Forum.

    Before the commencement of the Global Business Forum, a tripartite agreement between FICCI, Spain Chamber of Commerce and CEOE would be signed to operationalize the Forum in presence of Mr Tulsi Tanti, Chairperson of the India Spain CEOs Forum & Chairman of Suzlon Energy Limited and Mr. Fernando Abril-Martorell, Chairman, Indra Sistemas and Spanish Co-Chair of CEOs Forum on 24 June 2016 morning.

    Space capsule recovered

    MUMBAI: The Space capsule Recovery Experiment (SRE-1) that was launched by Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C7) from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR Sriharikota on 10 January, was successfully recovered today after being maneuvered to reenter the earth’s atmosphere and descend over Bay of Bengal about 140 km East of Sriharikota.

    Since its launch, SRE-1 was going round the earth in a circular polar orbit at an altitude of 637 km. In preparation for its reentry, SRE-1 was put into an elliptical orbit with a perigee (nearest point to earth) of 485 km and an apogee (farthest point to earth) of 639 km by issuing commands from the Spacecraft Control Centre (SCC) of ISTRAC at Bangalore on January 19, 2007. The critical de-boost operations were executed from SCC, Bangalore supported by a network of ground stations at Bangalore, Lucknow, Mauritius, Sriharikota, Biak in Indonesia, Saskatoon in Canada, Svalbard in Norway besides shipborne and airborne terminals.

    The recovery operations were supported and carried out by the Indian Coast Guard and Indian Navy using ships, aircraft and helicopters.

    During its stay in orbit for the last 12 days, the two experiments on board SRE-1 were successfully conducted under micro gravity conditions. One of the experiments was related to study of metal melting and crystallizations under micro gravity conditions. The second experiment, designed by National Metallurgical Laboratory, Jamshedpur, was intended to study the synthesis of nano-crystals under micro gravity conditions. This experiment can help in designing better biomaterials having closest proximity with natural biological products. The experimental results will be analysed in due
    course by the principal scientific investigators of the two experiments.

    The successful launch, in-orbit operation of the on board experiments and reentry and recovery of SRE-1 has demonstrated India’s capability in important technologies like aero-thermo structures, deceleration and flotation systems, navigation, guidance and control. SRE-1 is an important
    beginning for providing a low cost platform for micro-gravity experiments in space science and technology and return specimen from space.
