9-yr-old among 1L Indians who ‘took off’ for Mars

MUMBAI: Nine-and-a-half-year-old Pratik G.K, who is attached to the Chennai-based Space Kidz India, was once probably the most around 1,38,899 people from India who ‘departed’ for Mars at four.36pm on Saturday on a Nasa challenge called InSight (Interior Exploration Using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport).


Pratik was once among probably the most thousands to be included based on a global name to publish names for the Mars challenge. Their names had been etched on a silicon wafer microchip the use of an electron beam. The chipwas hooked up to the top hull of the lander. According to Nasa, the inclusion of names was once based on a global name to publish names for the Mars challenge. Those who responded had been equipped ‘boarding passes’ for the flight.


The people at the challenge will ‘land’ on Mars on November 26, 2018, in a area called Elysium Planitia. This challenge has 3 firsts— one, it'll be the first challenge to study the interior of Mars probing as much as 2,000 miles beneath the outside. Second, it'll be the first Nasa interplanetary challenge to boost off from Vandenburg Air Force Base in California and 3rd, the 2 CubeSats, hitchhiking at the flight, would be the first time CubeSats will go into deep space.
