ISRO is recruiting junior translation officers for its Human Spaceflight Programme

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is recruiting junior translation officers for its human spaceflight program. This is an opportunity for translators to be a part of one of the most ambitious and exciting missions by the Indian space agency. The first of these, Gaganyaan, will undertake a human mission to low earth orbit (LEO). The posting is in the incipient Human Space Flight Centre (HSFC) at the ISRO HQ in Bengaluru. While this is a contract based opening, it is likely to convert into a permanent position, or in the words of ISRO, "continue indefinitely".

The required qualification is a Master's degree in either English or Hindi as a compulsory or elective subject, or any Master's degree in English or Hindi medium, with the other language as a compulsory or elective subject. Candidates will be checked for their precis writing skills in English and Hindi, and for their ability to translate text to English from Hindi and vice versa. The application process is online due to the ongoing pandemic, with a fee of Rs 250. The tests will be held in Delhi and Bengaluru. Those who are between eighteen and thirty five years of age can apply for the job. The last date for the application is November 20, 2021. Those interested can find all the relevant details on ISRO's official website (there is a PDF after the jump). 

There are only six vacancies, which is going to be highly contested considering the posting is at ISRO headquarters, if the volume of applications for similar postings in the past is any indication. Note that ISRO does not hire those who are overqualified for the job. ISRO faces a problem of overqualified people applying for the jobs because candidates have an almost religious fervor for potentially working at India's space agency, and are willing to work lower in the hierarchy as well as draw a lesser salary just to work at ISRO. The maiden human spaceflight mission by ISRO was originally scheduled for 2022, but due to the pandemic, has now been delayed to 2023. 

 

So there is a cloud kitchen right next to my house, I can pick up food from there directly, or get Swiggy delivery people to bring it to me. 

Even over this short distance, the Swiggy delivery people keep getting lost. One of them made no effort for delivery, and asked me to come to the place to pick it up. Most of the others who get lost do not listen to instructions as simple as "stay where you are, I will come and find you." They use their two wheelers and keep moving around, making me hunt them down on foot. 

Food in Delhi sucks, but that is a story for another day. 

Life on Venus: New study claims photosynthesis possible in Venusian clouds

 When it comes to supporting life and habitability on its surface – Venus could potentially be at the very bottom of the list. The planet, already christened 'hellish' for its incredibly hostile surface temperatures, is slowly grabbing everyone's attention with studies pointing at its flickering potential to host life.

If the detection of phosphine higher in its atmosphere last year wasn't absurd enough, a new study led by biochemist Rakesh Mogul of California State Polytechnic University has claimed that photosynthesis could be possible in the Venusian atmosphere.

"Our study provides tangible support for the potential for phototrophy and/or chemotrophy by microorganisms in Venus's clouds," said Mogul.

"We believe that Venus' clouds would make a great target for habitability or life detection missions, like those currently planned for Mars and Europa," he added.

The study has been published in the journal Astrobiology.
