After travelling 352 million miles, seven terrifying minutes will decide the fate of the £1.5bn Mars rover ‘Curiosity’
£1.5bn of prime space technology will hurtle through the atmosphere of Mars as one of the most daring space missions ever attempted plays out.With its compact design and low weight of 12.9 kg / 28.4 lbs, the CMC 353 provides the perfect combination of portability and power. It is the ideal test set for three-phase protection testing and the commissioning of SCADA systems. The powerful current outputs (3 x 32 A / 430 VA) optimally support 5 A relay testing.
No. 354 squadron was first formed at Drigh Road, Karachi on 10 May 1943 as part of Coastal Command, rebasing to Cuttack on 17 August 1943, where it received Liberator Mk.V bombers.

The squadron redeployed to Minneriya in Ceylon on 12 October 1944, with detachments at Kankesanturai and Cuttack, and returned to Cuttack—maintaining a detachment at Kankesanterai—in January 1945, where they received the Liberator Mk.VI.

Largest waterfall in Africa – The Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Victoria Falls are just over 1 mile wide (1.7 km) and 355 feet (108 m) high. During the wet season over 500 million liters (19 million cubic feet) of water plummets over the edge into the Zambezi River. The spray can be seen from over 30 miles away.
The Porsche 356 was the company’s first production automobile. It was a lightweight and nimble-handling rear-engine rear-wheel-drive 2-door sports car available in hardtop coupe and open configurations. Design innovations continued during the years of manufacture, contributing to its motorsports success and popularity. Production started in 1948 at Gmünd, Austria, where approximately 50 cars were built. In 1950 the factory relocated to Zuffenhausen, Germany, and general production of the 356 continued until April 1965, well after the replacement model 911 made its autumn 1963 debut. Of the 76,000 originally produced, approximately half survive.[1]
The .357 S&W Magnum (9x33mmR), or simply .357 Magnum, is a revolver cartridge created by Elmer Keith, Phillip B. Sharpe, and Colonel D. B.
