Otters, Launch, and Crop Insights
Otters are 'near threatened' and have been spotted in Kashmir's Lidder River.
During take-off, planes have critical speeds like V1, Vr, and V2.
Liquid oxygen is important for rockets and turns into liquid at very low temperatures.
CROPIC helps monitor crops, assess losses, and compensate farmers.
Geomagnetic storms can shift the Aurora Borealis beyond its normal zone.
Eurasian otters, classified as 'near threatened', were spotted in the Lidder River, Kashmir.
Takeoff phase has three critical speeds which are V1, Vr, and V2.
Liquid oxygen enables combustion in rocket propulsion and becomes liquid at very low temperatures.
CROPIC will assist in creating a rich directory of crop signatures and lead to the automation of loss assessment.
Geomagnetic storms can redirect the Aurora Borealis beyond its usual range.
