Home Sweet Home…
Undoubtedly, our planet
EARTH, with unique features and conditions for the existence of LIFE!!
Consequence – Population, Pollution, Deforestation, Global Warming etc etc..
Rise in the morning, move on to work.. Daily schedule.. Mechanical life!!Crowd, Jammed traffic… Ouch…
In this 21st century, these Jams and crowd is not only on the Lithosphere.. ( well, on the surface), but also in the atmosphere!!
Our Earth is such a big ball, With the circumference of 0.940 Tm (Tm - Terametre. 1 Tm is the unit of length equal to 10¬12
metres). This is the surface circumference. And above this surface, approximately around 1200 km till the Geostationary orbit which is 35,786kms, is the area of another increasing population, or the so called jamming of satellites!!
Though God has gifted a Natural Satellite –
MOON, Human brain has triggered and launched numerous amounts of Artificial satellites. This field being started in 1946, it has reached its heights on the space and is in its peak till date and is also turning out to be a burden on the Humans head due to massive increase in numbers in the orbiting area!!!
However, their advantages are simply mind boggling!! Sky is the limit for their usages. Being categorized as “astronomical, communications, earth observation, navigation, reconnaissance (military purposes), solar power, weather, miniaturized (which even weigh less than 300 kg!) and space stations.”
