Rocket Launching Last month I saw rocket Launching by own eyes. Actually it was not my wide dreams but that all happened because of transfer from Cochin to Trivandrum. Our new project is in ISRO( Indian Space Research Organisation), Trivandrum. Actually the launching station is in Thumba Trivandrum about 26Km from my project site. But there is an another site near to Launching station is handling by one of my friend, he is also an engineer in our company. On thursday he called me to reach his project site for giving some of the documents related my new project. I went there on time. But due to functions related to Space week there was so rush in Launching station. Childrens from all over the state are there to visit the museum and other things in the Launching station. Officers and scientists were explaining every details about the history and functioning of ISRO. Also they told us that there will be a Rocket launching in that day. All are welcome to see that event. I saw many rocket launchings in TV and Internet but never got a chance to see that by my naked eyes. I was so thrilled, All of us reach a ground near to the rocket launching pad. About 500 meters away from us I saw a small rocket, I thought it will be huge that I saw in TV. I feel little bad by seeing that Rocket. It was for weather forcasting. The name was Rohini 200. But my friend told me that Big or small rocket is always a rocket. If you don't want to see you just go. After that I become silent and waited for seeing the Launching. The officials said that it would be in 11.30 am. But due to rain it was postponed to 12.15. Children are so enthusiastic to see the launching. From 11.45 the counting begins. Some of the children also count loudly with them. At exactly 12.15 I saw the Launching of that small rocket. Firstly there was a spark in the bottom of Rocket then it produce a loud sound n went to space. I think within 3 second it disappeared from our eyes. We only saw the smoke showing the path of rocket. Crowd gives a huge clap by seeing that event. My friend told me that every third week in the month ISRO launch these kind of Rocket for weather forcasting. It was a new information for me. I thanked him and TERLS officials for giving such a wonderful opportunity. It was one the unforgettable moment in my life. I give the detailed explanation about the launching to my dear friends and Family. I thank Allah for giving such a beautiful moments in my life. Alhamdu Lillah.
