Proud to be part of a History....

Another milestone for Indian Space agency ISRO by launching GSLV Mark III rocket. But unlike other ISRO missions in the past, this time it's not just a joyful moment but also a proud moment for me personally. For my Engg. project work, I was fortunate to work on an assignment for HAL, Bangalore. This project was outsourced by ISRO to this mighty Aerospace division of HAL

My Project: The assignment was to Design a Weld Fixture to weld a bimetal adapter and a flange for the Liquid Oxygen (LOX) tank used during Cryogenic stage. Considering the heat transfer rate and the different thermal properties of mild steel and aluminium materials and the fixture’s ability to arrest all the six degrees of freedom of workpiece. The crux of this assignment was to add a dummy between the bimetal strip which can absorb the heat before reaching the other lower thermal property material.

Few days ago, after hearing about the launch of this mission, recollected those wonderful days spent at HAL with my friends, where we all were about to complete our graduation…. Nostalgic! Thank you HAL for giving us an opportunity work with you. Take a bow!
