Man made or artificial satellites (sub planets) are launched into

the space with the help of rockets.

1. There are two major kinds of artificial satellites. They are; a)
Earthly Satellite b) Polar Satellite
2. Earthly Satellite is made stable from the earth at the height of
33000 to 35000km.
3. With the help of rocket, the satellite moves as the earth moves
with the speed.
4. Indian satellites are sent form Satish Dhawan Centre at
Shriharikota.
5. Earthly satellite is known as Insat.
6. Polar satellite has gone upto 800 to 850 km from the earth.
7. They travel from north to South Pole and return to North Pole.
8. IRS series satellite is a polar satellite.
9. The advantages of satellite are broadcasting of television
programmes, mobile and telephone communication, study of
environment and temperature, taking pictures and making maps of
the earth and the study of natural wealth.

2. The scientists have found out the new energy means in the form
of atomic energy as a remedy.
3. Atomic energy is the power created by the division of extremely
minute atom.
4. The mass which is lost while dividing an atom is converted into
energy.
5. Heavy atoms like uranium thorium are used for the division of
atoms.

6. Atomic energy is widely used in the industrial agriculture and

medical fields.
7. Due to the limited energy sources, today atomic energy is looked
upon as necessary energy sources.

1. Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) was founded by Dr.

Homi Bhabha in 1945 for the research in atomic science in India.
2. Atomic research city was erected at Turbhe near Mumbai under the
guidance of Dr. Homi Bhabha.
3. Dr. Homi Bhabha has immensely contributed to the field of atomic
energy. This energy is used in industrial, agricultural and
mechanical fields. Thus he is known as the Father of Indian
Atomic Age.
1. There is no atmosphere in the space, i.e. the universe beyond
the atmosphere.
2. There is no air and water.
3. There being no atmosphere, the rays emerging from the sun are
very bright and direct.
4. Therefore, the sunbeam (ray) in space is severe in absence of
any medium.

1. Computer is an electronic media which has become man's super

friend
2. It has become one of the indispensable family members
3. The importance of computer is unmatched in the present age.
4. Almost all circles of life have been encompassed by the
computer.
5. Computer is useful at home, in the laboratories, in the office,
in the shop, in the school, in business, in research, etc.
6. Due to invention of computer, speed of work has improved.
7. Precision (accuracy) and quality in work has been achieved.

8. Preservation as well as conservation of information has become

possible.

9. While explaining its importance it can be stated as 'computer to

literacy' and 'ethics to internet' have become the aims of life

1. Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam is known as the Father of missile

programme.
2. He is called Missile man.
3. He has contributed immensely to this field.
4. Prithvi, Trishul, and Akash, Agni and Nag are the important
missiles of India.
5. The missile Agni has the capacity of 2000Km.
6. India is safe due to missiles.

1. Dr. Vikram Sarabhai is considered as the leader of India's space

research.
2. Indian scientist sends man less spaceship 'Chandrayaan I' to
Moon on 23rd October 2008.
India made the mission to moon on 14th November 2008

The uses of Atomic energy are as follows:

Production of electricity.
Diagnosis and treatment of diseases
Development of agriculture industry
Aeroplanes run by atomic energy and non detectable on radar are
made.

5. Destructive atomic weapons are prepared

The schematic and systematic knowledge of the incidents in
nature acquired through observation, experiment and conclusion
is called science. Also, it is the discovery of the rules of
nature.

Technology is the use of science in life.

The knowledge of means /equipments and machines developed
through science in order to make human life happy and prosperous
is technology.
