RISAT 2BR1
RISAT-2BR1 is a radar imaging earth observation satellite developed by ISRO.
(A).It uses synthetic aperture radars (SAR) to provide Indian forces with all-weather surveillance and observation, which are crucial to notice any potential threat or malicious activity around the nation’s borders.
(B).Apart from being used for military purposes, it has applications in fields such as agriculture and disaster management support.
It has a mission life of five years.

Optical remote sensing satellite and Radar satellite
(A)Optical remote sensing satellites rely on sunlight being reflected back into space from the ground. They do not work in darkness and their view can be obstructed by clouds.
(B)Radar satellites send out radio signals and record the echoes that return. They can image the ground even at night and are unaffected by cloud cover.

#BRAVE SON OF INDIA
PVC Rama Raghoba Rane (ENGINEER)
2nd Lieutenant Rama Raghoba Rane, was commissioned in the Corps of Engineers on 15 December 1947. On 18 March 1948, the Indian Army recaptured Jhangar, which was lost to the enemy in December 1947. Indian troops then planned an advance from Naushahra to Rajauri to protect the natives from atrocities of the raiders. Half-way lay the Chingas, on the old Mughal route to Kashmir. The 4 Dogra commenced the advance to Rajauri on 8 April 1948. It attacked the Barwali ridge, 11 km north of Naushahra and captured it after driving out the enemy from well-prepared positions. But beyond Barwali, the increasing number of road-blocks & minefields obstructed the progress of the battalion. Even armour could not cross over these obstacles. During this critical phase, 2nd Lt. Rane and his section of 37 Assault Field Company, attached to 4 Dogra, performed yeoman service. As the section started clearing a mine-field on April 8th, two sappers were killed and five others including Rane were injured in enemy mortar fire. However, Rane and his men completed the work by the evening and enabled the tanks to push forward.
But the enemy had not been cleared from the area and road ahead was still unsafe for the advance. 2nd Lieutenant Rane worked during the night to prepare a safe lane for the tanks. On April 9th, his men continuously worked for twelve hours to clear mines and remove road-blocks. Where the road was found un-negotiable he made a diversion for the column to pass through. 2nd Lieutenant Rane continued this work in the face of enemy artillery and mortar fire. On April 10th, he woke up early to resume work on the road-block, which could not be cleared the previous night. He cleared this huge road-block of 5 big pine tress, surrounded by mines and covered by intensive machine-gun fire, within two hours. The Army advanced another 13 km on this day before they encountered another major road-block. The enemy pickets perched on the adjoining hills were guarding all approaches to this road-block. 2nd Lieutenant Rane drove to the road block in a tank and crouching under it, blasted the block with mines. He thus opened the road before the end of the night. On April 11th, they worked for 17 hours to open the road to Chingas and beyond.
2nd Lt. Rane made a substantial contribution in facilitating the Indian advance on Rajauri. It cost the enemy about 500 dead and many more wounded. It also helped in saving many innocent lives in Chingas and Rajauri. The gallant effort made by 2nd Lieutenant Rama Raghoba Rane during this critical advance to Rajauri earned him the highest war-time gallantry medal, Param Vir Chakra.

Reasons for Crash In Oil Prices
The fall in oil prices can be attributed to the mismatch in demand and supply of crude oil in the global market.
Too Much Supply
A) Recently, there was a price war going on between Russia and Saudi Arabia, where both disagreed to lower-oil production so that the price of oil can be stabilised upwards.
B) It must be understood that cutting production or completely shutting down an oil well is a difficult decision, because restarting it is both immensely costly and cumbersome.
C) Moreover, if one country cuts production, it risks losing market share if others do not follow suit.
D) The US is also producing oil aggressively, making it tough for other oil exporting countries (in West Asia ) to cut its oil production.
Too Little Demand
A) Over-supply of oil is an unsustainable pricing strategy under normal circumstances but it is even more calamitous during Covid-19 pandemic..
B) The pandemic sharply reduced economic activity and the demand for oil.
C) A recent Goldman Sachs report estimated that Covid-19 had lowered the world crude consumption by 28 million barrels per day.
Running Out of Space to Store
A) According to reports, the mismatch (too much supply and too little demand) resulted in almost all storage capacity being exhausted.
B) Trains and ships, which were typically used to transport oil, too, were used up just for storing oil.
C) This lack of storage was the immediate reason for negative oil prices in WTI.
Impact of Low Oil Prices
Geo-Political Impact
A)This crash in oil prices may undermine the political stability of several regimes in West Asia, impact Russia’s plan to revive its crippled economy and destroy the US’s shale oil industry.
Affecting Clean-Energy Alternatives
A) The profound and highly visible impact of the lockdown-induced reduction in mobility on air quality in polluted cities around the world could give a significant impetus to the search for non-polluting transportation alternatives.
B) This will have significant implications for investments in clean and renewable energy sources like solar and wind power.
C) On the negative side, developing countries (who don’t have technology for renewable energy) may tend to use cheap oil for its developmental needs and neglecting clean energy alternatives.
Impact on India
The ways in which this lower price can help India.
A) If the government passes on the lower prices to consumers, this will boost public consumption and may help in economic recovery in a post-lockdown scenario.
B) If, on the other hand, governments (both at the Centre and the states) decide to levy higher taxes on oil, it can boost government revenues.
C) India being the world’s third largest importer of crude oil, a sharp and prolonged decline in oil prices helps in reducing current account deficit.

A).Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP)
1.IGMDP was brain child of renowned scientist Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.
2.It was intended to attain self-sufficiency in the field of missile technology.
3.After keeping in mind the requirements of various types of missiles by the defense forces, the program recognized the need to develop five missile systems.
4.The IGMDP formally got the approval of Indian government on July 26, 1983.
5.It brought together the country’s scientific community, academic institutions, R&D laboratories, industries and the three defence services in giving shape to the strategic, indigenous missile systems.
B).The missiles developed under IGMDP are:
1.Short-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile – Prithvi
2.Intermediate-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile – Agni
3.Short-range low-level surface-to-air missile – Trishul
4.Medium-range surface-to-air missile – Akash
5.Third generation anti-tank missile – Nag
C).The Agni, which was initially conceived as a technology demonstrator project in the form of a re-entry vehicle, was later upgraded to a ballistic missile with different ranges. Dr. Kalam played a major role in the development and operationalisation of Agni and Prithvi missiles.
D).After achieving the goal of making India self-reliant in missile technology, DRDO on January 8, 2008, formally announced successful completion of IGMDP.
