                  The Moon Impact Probe(Lunar Probe) detached from the unmanned lunar orbiter Chandrayaan-1 (by ISRO) and made a hard landing on the lunar surface around 8:31 p.m. that put the flag. MIP was of 34-kilogram that hit the moon surface traveling at 1.6 kilometers per second, which is a speed of 5,760 kilometers per hour (3,579 mph).
                        With this landing India became the 5th group to send a spacecraft to the Moon. This incident gave every Indian a reason to say "I AM PROUD TO BE INDIAN"

INDIA'S 3rd COUNTRY IN SUPER COMPUTER

INDIA is one of the 3 countries that makes SUPER COMPUTER other two are Japan and China.

PARAM

India's first Super Computer was named PARAM by designed and assembled by the "Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC)" in Pune. Now PARAM YUVA is the latest machine of PARAM series.

EKA

 Then in the year 2007, "EKA” came into existence, developed by Computational Research Laboratories (subsidiary of TATA sons) with technical assistance and hardware provided by Hewlett-Packard(HP). EKA was 4th fastest supercomputer in the world and number 1 in Asia having 172.61 TeraFLOPS (trillion floating point operations per second). But later on 16 September 2011, it was ranked at 58.

SAGA-220

 Then Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has disclosed India’s fastest supercomputer built in the labs of Vikram Sarabhai Space Center, Thiruvananthapuram. This supercomputer was named SAGA-220 which is capable of a theoretical peak performance of 220 TeraFLOPS (trillion floating point operations per second). SAGA is now in 28th position in the world. If SAGA touches the 1000 TeraFLOPS peak performance it would immediately be positioned at 11th rank.

                    MAKERS OF SUPERCOMPUTERS IN INDIA are IBM leads in the number of super computers in the list with 6 systems, followed by HP with 5 systems, and SGI with 3 systems.
