Antariksham 9000 KMPH (అంతరిక్షం)

- Bride hunting again, huh? - Yeah, as usual!

- What happened now? - It's Mihira satellite

- It was fine, what now? - Don't know

Technical or battery issue

- When did you get to know? - 20 minutes

In this crucial time, imagine!

- Is sir aware of this? - He'll be here at any moment

I've initiated Mihira satellite battery usage, 60 seconds to go

- If it fails what is the situation? - This is an old satellite, Mohan

Already NASA Deep Space network has a back up

So telecommunication not being affected

- Our worry is considerably lessened - True

If zero emotional attachment no need to worry at all!

60 seconds over

Only old coordinates showing up

Why isn't it showing the position?

Very important to know the satellite's location

'Anand, try this'

Get information from the nearby satellites

With the help of their path trackers trace Mihira satellite's current position

Okay, sir

'The entire online navigation and guidance system has failed'

'Redundant systems are not responding either'

This is the most prestigious project with Russian coordination

'Manned mission'

Matter of immense pride 1st time Indians are being sent to Space

4 astronauts from India

If we don't bring Mihira under our control this project can turn into a disaster

We can't let that happen

Sir, we need an expert to set our telemetry settings

Connect our astronauts undergoing training in Russia on a video call

Quick...!

'Convoy, this is Control'

'Proceed with Crew Egress, over'

'Checking configuration'

Karan, you guys have a call from Indian Space Centre

'Copy'

- Hi - 'Hello, sir'

- Adithya or Karan? - It's Adithya

Karan has gone for simulation test and Sanjay will also join us

We have Riya

Sir, even we got to know only now

We are all really shocked!

We don't have enough time

You must return to India at once

But Adithya and Karan's simulation test is in 2 days

'1st you have to come, Riya We can bring them back later'

We are expecting you back here tomorrow, okay?

Yes, sir

- Grandma - Riya

4 years have gone by

Why have you lost so much weight?

You always say this, grandma

Refresh yourself and come eat, dear

I have to leave, grandma

You just got here

If you don't even rest for a day-

No time, grandma

Actually...

...it's very urgent

What is so urgent, dear?

I'll tell you after I get back, okay?

I still remember the headlines then

Mihira Satellite Lives In Sky

It was such a proud moment for our country

That satellite was launched 12 years ago

Missing its position isn't a big surprise!

We...we really should have been more careful

Welcome, Riya

Good to see you

Mihira satellite is travelling at 2000 kmph

In its orbit

Every 24 hours...

...it falls short of a distance of 2 km

'Since it is drifting...'

'...in almost 45 days'

...it may collide with IMS-1 satellite in the lower orbit

Loss from this collision is not for our satellite alone, sir

This debris moves at a speed of 2000 kmph in Space

That debris will hit the satellites of neighboring countries

'...which in turn will hit other satellites'

The fault in our Space Centre may cause a black-out in the world's communication

Sir, it's a COD systems failure

We configured Mihira satellite system with the old code

After that when the last scientist Sharath Singh in the team retired...

...knowledge transfer was done to Dev

Sharath Singh died of cardiac arrest 2 weeks later

Now we don't have anyone qualified to modify the code

The necessity to teach anyone didn't arise

Tell me one good news, Mohan, please

- There is one, sir - What is it?

We can ask Dev to transfer knowledge to 1 of these astronauts

As soon as he enters Space he should be able to fix Mihira

5 years since Dev left!

He isn't even in touch with us

I know where Dev is, sir But it's difficult to bring him here

I'll convince him, sir

I feel it's my responsibility

I suppose you know why Dev quit?

5 years back when a similar situation came up...

...we failed, Riya

History should not repeat itself!

Yes, sir

'Area 407'

'We are setting it up'

'Ready to test in 5 minutes'

What...? Emotions, huh?

Should be, Mohan

Shouldn't come here with mere knowledge

This Space Centre's history began with sacrifices

I mean this...

...this is my baby!

- What's so funny? - No emotions for this call, huh?

1 week since my call was answered Will I reciprocate so easily?

Not like that

Quite often the scientist and lover in you have a tug of war, eh?

You should see your face then I mean that anger

Like a rocket ready for launch!

That's enough What's the status?

Everything is fine

T&C Subsystem inspection is scheduled

Team from Bangalore has been deployed

Inspection isn't over?

- Who is doing it? - Ground team

We'll get the report in few hours

Telemetry and command subsystem not receiving any signal

'Status is negative, sir'

Urgently need an engineer

System isn't receiving any signal

No...no...we don't have time

Send an expert immediately

We need someone extraordinary on board right now, immediately

What the hell is this, Mohan?

You know T&C Subsystem plays a crucial role between ground control and Spacecraft, eh?

How can that be messed?

Because of this, status, configuration, balance parameters will be affected

How did you send it without checking in the 1st place?

You overlooked it, Mohan

Dev, didn't I tell you Bangalore team prepared it?

Everything will be alright

'Hardly any time left for the launch' Everything will be alright

'Hardly any time left for the launch'

Vishal, what's the status?

Sir, this is not responding

Try again with final position

- Connect it, come on, quick - Sure, sir

Sir, still not responding

Thank you

Hi...Riya

Came here to troubleshoot T&C Subsystem

You look very young

Shall I come back after 10 years?

I...I'm Mohan Technical Department

T&C Subsystem not generating signal No reception even after restart

Okay, let me check

Equipment or control unit?

1st I must check the system settings

- Follow me - Yeah

We'll report about the status of T&C Subsystem

Thank you

If door mat is in, it's 'pull'

If it's out, it's 'push'!

Basic interview question

What? New intern, huh?

Dev, I'm sorry

This is Riya Our new Systems Engineer

Come to inspect T&C Subsystem

Why is she here when unit is near the launch pad?

Why test the software to assemble hardware?

Any issue 1st system settings should be checked

It's a simple interview question?!

- Where's the system? - This way

Fresher, huh? Can she do it?

She looks tense First time, huh?

No, I've been tense many times before!

Hey, what the-

Riya, do you need support staff? Do you need help handling this?

No...no...I can do this myself

As of now I'm overwriting the manual

This isn't the time for experimenting

Everything will be fine if I do the simulation test

What does 'fine' mean?

You should be giving your best here

I find it difficult to focus if you're here

Please can you give me some Space?

Dev, you go...go

Can't believe this!

We should check T&C Subsystem now

- Shall we go? - Sure

If it doesn't work now, international Space Centres will defame us

Don't worry

I'm sure it will work

If a person is given the respect he or she duly deserves...

...the task can be completed properly

That's common sense

Please don't misunderstand Dev

He's a gem and this is his 1st satellite launch

Anyone in his position will behave the same way

He also underwent astronaut training in Russia

Don't mistake pride for arrogance
