Beyond UPSC - Ritesh R Jaiswal

India’s indigenous surgical robotic system, SSI Mantra, successfully conducted two robotic cardiac surgeries via telesurgery over a distance of 286km. Both were cardiac surgeries - Internal Mammary Artery Harvesting procedure and Robotic Beating Heart Totally Endoscopic Coronary Artery Bypass (TECAB).
It is a first in the world.
Led by Dr Sudhir Srivastava, founder, chairman, and CEO of SS Innovations International, Inc., from the SSI headquarters in Gurugram, and supported by Dr Lalit Malik, chief of cardiac surgery at Manipal Hospital, Jaipur, and his team, the surgeries were carried out with exceptional precision. The latency was low - just 35-40 milliseconds (latency in telesurgery is the time delay between a command and response).
The SSI Mantra 3 Surgical Robotic System is the only robotic system in the world to have received regulatory approval for telesurgery and tele-proctoring. Approved by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO). This validation will enable remote surgeries and medical education, enabling healthcare professionals to collaborate across distances.

Next Generation Launch Vehicle

About: The Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV), formerly known as the Unified Launch Vehicle (ULV), is a project led by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

Features: The NGLV is envisaged as a three-stage rocket with partial reusability, a departure from the current operational systems like PSLV, GSLV, and LVM3.

Purpose and Objective: Designed with the aim to modernize and enhance India's space launch capabilities, the NGLV seeks to replace existing launch platforms, ensuring better efficiency and adaptability.

ISRO has formalised a project team, internally named ‘SOORYA’, to start building the New Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV).
Project SOORYA

About: Establishing a 3rd launch pad at Sriharikota is essential due to the differing configuration of the NGLV compared to current rockets.

Multi-stage Launch Capability: NGLV boasts a 3-stage launch vehicle design, enhancing its efficiency and adaptability for various missions.

Environmentally Friendly Fuel Options: Utilizes green fuel combinations like methane-liquid oxygen or kerosene-liquid oxygen, ensuring reduced environmental impact during launches.

Enhanced Payload Capacity: Offers a payload capacity of up to 10 tonnes to Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO), more than doubling the capability of India's current heaviest rocket, the LVM-3.

Reusability for Cost Efficiency: Features recoverable parts, enabling reusability and significantly reducing launch costs to around $1,900 per kg to Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

Cost-Competitive Solution: With its reusability, NGLV provides a cost-effective alternative with a lower launch cost compared to expendable configurations, contributing to economic viability.

Aligning with India’s Space Vision 2047: Supports the national goal of establishing a space station by 2035 and eventual lunar exploration by Indian astronauts, in line with India’s Space Vision 2047.

According to the concept popularized by James Clear, "the ultimate form of optimization is elimination," meaning that the most effective way to optimize something is by removing unnecessary or ineffective elements, essentially focusing on what truly matters and streamlining the process.

Key points about this concept

Focus on removing waste: Instead of trying to constantly improve every aspect, prioritize identifying and removing components that don't
add value or hinder performance.

Simplicity is key:
By eliminating unnecessary complexity, you achieve a more efficient and optimized system.

Prioritize essential elements:
By focusing on what truly matters, you can allocate resources and efforts more effectively.
