UNESCOs World Heritage Committee on 18 June 2013 increased pressure on the Australian government

so as to conserve the Great Barrier Reef.

The World Heritage Committee gave Canberra one year time to present a plan on how to protect the reef,

listed as a World Heritage site since 1981, from increasing coal and gas extraction and shipping.

As per the discussion in the 37th session in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, If Australia fails to come up with a

satisfactory plan then World Heritage Committee will place it on the in danger list. It was also stressed

that by 2014, Australia has to improve water quality monitoring and limit port development to existing

port areas.

It is worth mentioning here that among the 38 World Heritage sites currently listed as in danger is the

Everglades National park in Florida and the Old City of Jerusalem. - See more at:

Japanese got its First MOX Nuclear Shipment port since Fukushima on 28 June 2013 which was

arrived from France loaded with reprocessed nuclear fuel.The Nuclear Shipment was arrived in order

to restart their atomic reactors.

MOX, (mixed oxide) is a blend of plutonium and uranium; it was arrived at the Takahama nuclear

plant on the western coast of central Japan. Mixed oxide (MOX) fuel basically provides about 2% of

the new nuclear fuel used today.MOX fuel is manufactured from plutonium recovered from used

reactor fuel. It also provides a means of burning weapons-grade plutonium (from military sources) to

produce electricity.

Uranium reactors produce a mixture of depleted uranium and plutonium as a by-product of fission.

These can be re-processed into MOX fuel, which can then be used in other reactors to generate more

power.

It is known fact that Japan has very less energy resources of its own and it relies on nuclear power for

nearly one-third of its domestic electricity needs until the meltdowns at the tsunami-crippled plant.

It has been seen that all but two of the countrys 50 nuclear reactors are offline, closed for routine

safety checks in the consequences of the disaster and never restarted because of public resistance

and new standards.

Japan on the other hand has built its own nuclear fuel reprocessing plant, in northern Aomori

prefecture, but its opening has been delayed by a series of minor accidents and technical problems.

As per the Government report to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Japan has about

44.3 tonnes of plutonium, of which 35.0 tonnes are held and being processed in France and Britain,

and the rest, 9.3 tonnes is stored in Japan.

Indian Space Research Organisations scientists will establish a navigation satellite system for India

like that of Americas Global Positioning System (GPS).

Very much similar to the GPS, the Indian satellite is supposed to transmit data continuously that will

allow correctly equipped receivers to establish their location with considerable precision.

The project is set to establish the IRNSS at a cost about 1420 crores rupees and was approved by the

Union Government in June 2006. The first of the IRNSS satellites is scheduled go into space aboard

the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle on 1 July 2013.

The GPS requires a constellation of 24 orbiting satellites, which will be supported by a global

network of ground stations, so that every part of the world is covered. ISRO will create a system

wholly in India's control for providing navigation signals over this country and surrounding areas.

After seeing many configurations, the finally chosen configuration was the Indian Regional

Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) which required just seven satellites.

All seven IRNSS satellites will be at a height of about 36000 km, which will take a whole day to circle

the Earth. Three of the satellites will be placed over the equator, in what is known as the

geostationary orbit, where they match the Earth's rotation and therefore appear from the ground to

remain at a fixed position in the sky.

The remaining four satellites will be in pairs in two inclined geosynchronous orbits. From the

ground, these satellites will appear to travel in figures of 8 during the course of a day.

O3b Networks, whose name represents the other 3 billion in month of June 2013, launched a

series of satellites which is supposed to provide fast, cheap Internet and phone service to remote

areas in 180 countries.

The idea behind launching such satellite is to bring people from remote area online by the end of the

year 2013. Google have already committed to invest about 1.2 billion dollars in support.

O3b Networks is planning to supply the bandwidth for voice and data traffic to mobile phone

operators instead of being sold directly to customers and internet service providers who will be able

to track the satellites with ground stations.

A group of four satellites was launched on 25 June 2013 in a Soyuz rocket from French Guiana and it

is going to be followed with similar satellite launch of four more in September 2013 and another four

next year.

The Outstanding property of the satellite is that is every satellite will be able to transfer data at a rate

of 12 gigabits per second. Other satellites may eventually be launched to increase the data capacity of

the cohort.

Advantage of the Satellite launched

The launch of satellite will provide cheap, fast data transfer to remote areas without Internet access

or phone service.

The satellite service accessible and affordable, even in poorer regions.

Scientist in month of June 2013 discovered a complete new species of bird hiding in plain sight in

Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh.

The bird has been named the Cambodian tailorbird (Orthotomus chaktomuk) and was first spotted

in 2009 during routine checks for avian flu.

The detailed outline of the discovery has been mentioned in the Oriental Bird Club journal, Forktail.

Tailorbirds are in the family of warbler and got their name of their careful preparation of their nests,

weaving leaves together.

It is extremely unusual for undiscovered bird species to be found in urban contexts. The modern

discovery of an un-described bird species within the limits of a large populous city is veru much

uncommon. The discovery indicates that new species of birds may still be found in familiar and

unexpected locations.

INS Trikand, the last of the three Follow on Talwar Class frigates built in the Russian

Federation, was commissioned into the Indian Navy on 29 June 2013 at Kaliningrad, Russia by Vice

Admiral R K Dhowan, the Vice Chief of the Naval Staff, Indian Navy.

The commissioning of INS Trikand marks the culmination of a three ship contract for Follow On

Talwar Class ships built in Russia. Her sister ships INS Teg and INS Tarkash were commissioned in

2012.

INS Trikand carries a state-of-the-art combat suite which includes the supersonic BRAHMOS missile

system, advanced Surface to Air missiles Shtil, upgraded A190 medium range gun, Electro-optical 30

mm Close-in Weapon System, Anti-Submarine weapons such as torpedoes and rockets and an

advanced Electronic Warfare system. The weapons and sensors are integrated through a Combat

Management System Trebovanie-M, which enables the ship to simultaneously neutralise multiple

surface, sub-surface and air threats.

The ship also incorporates innovative features to reduce radar, magnetic and acoustic signatures,

which have earned this class of ships the sobriquet of Stealth frigates. The ship is powered by four

gas turbines and is capable of speeds in excess of 30 knots. The ship can carry an integrated Kamov

31 helicopter which is best suited for airborne early warning roles.

Who:INS Trikand.

Where:at Kaliningrad,Russia.
