HYDERABAD: A device developed by DRDO for the use of soldiers will now come in handy for Covid-19 patients who require medical support.
“Being ever in the forefront to support the Indian Soldier in most difficult terrain and adverse circumstances, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has developed yet another system, which is of great value not only to the Indian Army soldiers fighting in the Extreme High Altitudes Areas but also would be a boon to the country in this extreme crisis of Covid 19 pandemic,” DRDO said on Monday.
The Defence Bio-Engineering & Electro Medical Laboratory (DEBEL), Bengaluru of DRDO has developed a SpO2 (Blood Oxygen Saturation) supplemental Oxygen Delivery System for soldiers at extremely high altitudes.
got a very difficult situation. these astronauts have been working diligently for more than five hours. we ve been monitoring this feed and we ve heard mention of some ammonia flakes potentially touching some of the space suits. the significance of that however, we don t noech. as you just heard it seems like they are continuing the process of attaching this spare pump to the international space station. and the hope in all of this has been they ll be able to successfully do that just in time for christmas. a few minutes ahead of schedule, nasa started another space walk to support the orbiting international space stationings. rick mass track yoeg retrieving failure of an internal flow control valve. two american astronauts are venturing out. their mission to replace a pump needed to cool the vessel. i don t know if you guys believe in miracles but i got the pin on first try. oh, that s awesome, rick.
orbiting international space station. failure of an internal flow control valve. reporter: to american astronauts are venturing out. their mission? to replace a pump needed to cool the vessel. i don t know if you guys believe in miracles, but i got the hitch pin on the first try. that s awesome, rick. reporter: offer the weekend, astronauts rick mastacchio and mike hop kins, cooling fluid, ammonia. hooking up the big heavy ammonia lines are massive. if you were to leak ammonia, not a very pleasant chemical. you couldn t bring it inside. there s definite risk out there. reporter: mastracchio is wearing a replacement suit after a cooling issue with his suit
mastracchio as he prepares to fix a faulty pump on the international space station. so, what is this is christmas eve mission in space like? we wanted to know from someone who knows firsthand. we are joining by colonel ron guerin, a former astronaut with four space walks under his belt. it s so good to have you here. you actually handled that pump module that the torontos woastr worked on today. what are they doing here? they re switching out this pump which is responsible for a lot of the cooling thattings on the international space station. a lot of equipment both inside and outside the station require cooling. the way we do that on the space station is through ammonia. that ammonia is on the outside of the space station. so we have two redundant systems. the system that failed is on the starboard side of the space station and you know, we have a flow control valve in there that failed. so we have to replace the whole pump module, about 800 pounds.
