MRO News
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited will now enter the aircraft servicing industry with its new partnership with Airbus, which is trying to tap the MRO industry in India.
The InSight lander of NASA, hovering around the red planet clicked stunning images through HiRISE of the exact landing location.
The jet manufacturer has been looking to boost revenue in its services business which involves jet maintenance, repair and overhaul, data analytics and pilot training.
The study is based on observations made with the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
The grains of sand that make up sand dunes on Earth and Mars have a hazardous existence because of the way that they travel.
Captured on May 21, 2017, at 13:21 local Mars time during spring in Mars' Northern hemisphere, the image shows how over the winter, snow and ice have inexorably covered the dunes.
The image was taken on June 5, 2017, two months before the fifth anniversary of Curiosity's landing near Mount Sharp on Aug. 5 PDT (Aug. 6, 2017, EDT and Universal Time).
The US space agency NASA has released a beautiful winter's view of a gullied crater in Mars' northern hemisphere.
The image was captured by the agency's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) that has been studying the Red Planet's atmosphere and terrain from orbit since 2006.
The orbiter, which is the most data-productive spacecraft yet at Mars, continues to compile the most sharp-eyed global coverage ever accomplished by a camera at the Red Planet.
Images from the orbiter's wide-angle Mars Color Imager (MARCI) show each storm growing in the Acidalia area of northern Mars, then blowing southward and exploding to sizes bigger than the United States after reaching the southern hemisphere.
NASA says colors are enhanced in the cutout of a pit exposing reddish layers.
As per NASA, the image was taken during the Martian northern summer, so there is no frost present on the dunes.
The image was acquired at 15:16 local Mars time on May 6, 2016, by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Since the 1970s, scientists have identified valleys and channels on Mars which they think were carved out and eroded by rain and surface runoff, just like on the Earth.
The new findings could help reveal if the Martian environment had flowing water and was once habitable.
While the world is going gaga over the presence of flowing brine or salty water on the Red Planet, questions are now being asked why the US space agency did not direct its Curiosity rover to the place where water proofs were recorded for a closer look.
Two months after Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari had said Boeing had disassociated itself with the much-delayed USD 100-million MRO facility in Nagpur, the American planemaker has said it has completed the work and handed over the facility to Air India last month.
To be handed over to the flag carrier by Boeing, this will be Asia`s largest MRO facility and is expected to be completed by mid-2015.
The Board of Approvals, under the Union Ministry of Commerce, has given its conditional nod to a GMR Group proposal to buy out the 50 percent stake owned by its partner Malaysian Aerospace Engineering in an aircraft maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) unit.
