Space: The Successful Journey

The space rocket, "Nucleo 360" loses it's control speed and drastically shifts to the speed of 1000 km/hr from the speed of 5000 km/hr(it's maximum speed).

The reason for this drastic downfall is due to the change in atomic mass of Hydrogen, when it was moving into the space. In addition, the space moved into the darker side of moon.

The station director of Thumba Equatorial Rocket launching station(Thiruvananthapuram) Mr. Vasudevan Nair arranges an immediate meeting with his accomplishes.

"Sir" stood everyone.

"Rajveer. Listen to me carefully. Our missile Nucleo-Hydro 360" is losing it's speed and control. Henceforth, I need it's current position and status immediately as a report. Use the information of other rockets and fast track for tracking the information" said Vasudevan Nair.

"Ok sir" said Rajveer.

After a few minutes, Rajveer comes and meets Vasudevan and submits his so far collected report.

"Sir. As per my analysis and report, the satelite has lost it's navigation and system too got failed sir. No response from the system" said Rajveer.

Tensed, Vasudevan shows a newspaper to Rajveer, the other employee Mahesh and Priya telling them, "See this newspaper. This one is a most important rocket launch. We have collaborated with German Government coordination for this most prestigious project. If we are unable to bring this rocket under control, then there is a change for this project to get affected. Damn it."

"Ask our scientists(who are getting trained in Germany in space and astronaut field) to come for call conference immediately" said Vasudevan.

"Okay sir" said Rajveer.

The Maikonur Rocket Center(the center, where the scientists are trained) receives a call from Rajveer after which, Alex Joseph calls the four scientists "Arul Krishna, Moulish and Nisha" for the conference call.

"Sir. We heard the news. Felt really shocked, sir" said Nisha.

"Guys. I want you all to come back for India urgently. We don't have much time" said Vasudevan Nair.

"Sir. Moulish and Arul are still getting trained sir. They have not finished yet" said Nisha.

"First you come back for India. Then, they can also come back, after some days. We want you back" said Vasudevan Nair.

Nisha agrees and she comes back to Thiruvananthapuram and meets her grandfather Ram.

"It sounds good to see you back, ma. Two years after, I see you. Take rest and have food" said her grandpa.

"There's no time, grandpa. I have to go...urgent work in the rocket station...bye grandpa" said Nisha.

Meanwhile in the rocket launching room, Rajveer says "how Nucleo 360 made our country to feel proud, a few years back."

"It was launched before three years. The missing position is not a big issue. We must be very careful" said Nisha.

"Welcome Nisha. It's good to see you back again" said Vasudevan Nair.

Nisha critically observes the current position of Nucleo-360 rocket and after preparing a report about it's current position and status, she meets Vasudevan Nair.

"Nucleo-360 had been travelling with the speed of 5000 km/ph. For 24 hours, it's losing it's dropping with the speed of 3 kilometers. It means that, within 30 days, the rocket may drift and crash with another Chinese Rocket IRS Rocket-I" said Nisha.

"If that happens means, another rocket in the speed of 3000 km/ph will also get blocked sir. If these three collides, then there's a chance for disastrous side effects like earthquake and blasts(due to the Hydrogen-Nuclear combination) in all over the world. Because of our center's mistake, the whole world would get affected, sir" said Mohan, another analyst.

"It's a system failure sir. While launching this rocket, they used old code for the process of system configuration. The head Rajesh Reddy (for this rocket launch) transferred the knowledge of this old code to Raagulprakash only sir" said Rajveer.

"Rajesh Reddy have died due to heart ailments sir. Now, we too don't have much experienced or known old code staffs in our centre. Henceforth, it's better to bring Raagulprakash back to our centre" said Mohan to which, Vasudevan objects stating that, "He have left the station before three years and it's difficult to knew about his current location. Since he is not in their contact terms."

"I knew, where is Raagul sir. But, the only difficulty is to bring him back" said Mohan.

"I will receive Raagul to the station" said Nisha to which, all agrees.

"Nisha. You knew why did Raagul left the research station right?" asked Nair to which she says, "Yes sir. I very well knew."

While going, Nisha recalls what happened before three years when she met Raagulprakash in the Research station.

Raagulprakash was an brilliant student in IIT college of Bangalore. Due to his innovative skills, talents and ideas, he always tops up in academics and education. Raagul dreams to join the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching center in Thiruvananthapuram, where he have planned to do a rocket launching, his dream work.

As a Henceforth, Raagul rejected the offer to join the Defense force(through NCC- Air wing) of Indian Army and instead, became full-pledged to the research of this rocket launching work.

Raagul's project was initially, rejected by the college interviewers from the Thumba center. But, Vasudevan Nair (who had confidence in Raagul) approved for the project and he had been recruited for Thumba center.

Raagul gets trained in Maikonur research center of Germany. Besides this, he was further trained in the field of Astronaut and space fields.

After one year, Raagul returns back to India and started to work for his project, which he titled as "Nucleo 360." With the codes being learned from Rajesh Reddy, he starts his work rigorously.

According to Raagul's report, this rocket is a mixture of Hydrogen and Nuclear mass. Besides these, he further added, neon-20 (with 10 protons and 10 neutrons in its nucleus) with a mass of 19.992 amu and an abundance of 90.48%, neon-21 (with 10 protons and 11 neutrons) with a mass of 20.994 amu and an abundance of 0.27%, and neon-22 (with 10 protons and 12 neutrons) with a mass of 21.991 amu and an abundance of 9.25%. 

Raagul have further made a system configuration with an old code. He have wrote these codes from the periodic tables and isotopes:

After configurating this code, Raagul further prepared the system controller with the notes(for controlling the rocket and observing). It's told to Nisha and she was asked by Raagul to control the rocket.

Meanwhile, Raagul gets engaged with his love interest, Ishika. She hails from a middle class family.

Initially, Nisha misunderstood Raagul's character. But, she later believes and supports his dreams. The trial for launching this Nucleo-360 becomes a success and after getting approved by the Indian government, the rocket gets launched on 31.10.2020, before the marriage of Raagulprakash-Ishika.

During the period of this rocket launch, Ishika's marriage is fixed with Raagul Prakash.

While, Raagul hurriedly proceeds to Thumba research lab, after hearing the sudden problem in the rocket launch, through Nisha. However, while going in the car(with Ishika) out of tension, he loses control and meets with an accident. Ishika died in the accident. Her last wish is to make this rocket launch successful.

Ishika's death shatters Raagul a lot and henceforth, he quits from Thumba to join the Indian Army, under Air force despite following the opposition from Vasudevan Nair. Since, he wanted Raagul to lead a succeaaful career.

Nisha enters Indian Army in Kashmir and with the help of the army officials, she meets Raagulprakash. He is now working as the Major in Indian Army.

Raagul hears about the problem in Nucleo-360. But, he refuses to help despite her please about the "National shame, if this project fails."

She tells him that, "There are three people in this world. One: They never have a dream, Two: Despite having the dream, they get lost due to some reasons, Three: Besides the challenge, troubles and problems, they would fulfill their dreams."

Moved with her words, Raagul returns to Thumba Center after getting a prior approval permission from Indian Army, with the help of Vasudevan Nair.

However, when he came, Arul and Moulish refuses to let him enter the old code for recovering the rocket, claiming him to be inefficient and unfit for saving their country. Raagul is hurt by their words and decides to leave the place. But, Nair manages to let him enter again.

Raagul suggests to enter into the space and fix the problem. But, some refuses to the idea claiming that, "That's too risky to enter the space and fix...since, the rocket is mixed with Nuclear and Hydrogen. Not only Raagul. But his team too would get harmed if anything wrong happens."

However, he is adamant in his decision and his point of view is accepted by everyone. Arul, Ram(another space pilot) and

Moulish, with Nisha is sent to the space with Raagulprakash. As per Raagul's plan, he would implant an atomic mass element(of 18.07 amu of H ) in the Nuclear Rocket to control it's speed, through a cable...

He then, reveals the reason to Nisha, Moulish and Arul for his suggestion to enter into the space for controlling the Nuclear rocket.

Though he was successful in redeeming the code, he noted that, the drastic decline of the rocket to critical point is because of the change in atomic mass of Hydrogen. Henceforth, he entered into the space.

This plan was heavily critcised by Nair, after he hears and warns Raagul to return to the station, to which he objects.

Mouli and Arul tells Raagul that, "He doesn't have a family. While, they have family and are not afford to take a risk."

Seeing to the stiff and huge opposition, Raagil tells, "If we don't take any risk, then there is no output. If there is no pain, there is no gain. Why can't we do this? If Abdul Kalam, Isaac Newton and Thomas Alva Edison(who failed 1000 times) have thought like this, would we have studied about them! We have to think that, "Everything is possible in this world." If you think my viewpoint to be wrong, then let's return to station. If right, give me your hand of support."

"What Raagul told is right, sir. We are supporting his decision. We are not superman. But, we try to prove that, atleast now, in this time" said Ram, Mouli and Akhil. They give hand their support.

Initially, Nisha opposes Raagul's plan, telling that, if any leakage happened in the nuclear rocket, then Raagul might be killed. In addition, the space have moved into the darker side of the moon. Thus, it's further impossible to carry on.

However, she gets convinced eventually and let's to continue the plan and idea of Raagul Prakash.

Frustrated, Vasudevan let's the family of Ram, Mouli and Arul to speak with them. However, their family supports them.

Especially Ram's daughter Riya Sri asks him to carry on telling him that, "It's her wish."

Feeling happier and proud, Ram expresses this to Raagul telling that, "As it is the first wish of his daughter, he would fulfill this plan successfully."

"This is your daughter's first wish. But, for another middle class person's daughter this is her last wish" said Raagulprakash.

Emotionally convinced by Raagul's words, Nair tells, "Guys. It's enough for us to clap for other countries. Let's prove that, we too are capable to prove our worth. I am taking full responsibility for risks." He have changed his mindset to allow Raagul for completing Ishika's last wish.

Raagul prepares himself by wearing oxygen cylinder, space Astronaut dress and a helmet. Before coming to the rocket, Nisha hugs Raagul and she kisses him in the lips, implying that she loves him, and he accepts her love.

Afterwards, he is sent to the darker side of the moon, after reaching the place closely. There, he sees the rocket coming slowly from the darker side of moon to shift and collide with another rocket, which lies in the right side of their space flight.

Raagul goes and places the atomic mass in the Rocket's centered place and Nisha asks Raagul to come back faster, since it's uploading faster. After seeing the 100% success of atomic mass implantation, Raagul comes towards the space flight.

The rocket regains it's speed of 5000 km/ph and starts to move upwards towards the space. At the same time, Raagul loses his consciousness due to the lack of oxygen and loses communication to everyone.

Henceforth, Mouli, Arul and Ram informs, "We lost Raagul" to the Thumba station.

The information reaches late after 2 minutes to the Thumba station and hearing this, everyone gets shattered especially Nisha.

However, he comes to the space flight and they rescues a fainted Raagul.

"Check his oxygen level, Ram" said Nair and it's told to as fair by Ram.

Nisha hugs Raagul, who have regained the consciousness.

They reaches back the space station of Thumba successfully. There, Nair asks Raagul to continue his work for the space station, to which he refuses.

Because, his duty is near to the Indian Army borders. Angered, Nair admonishes him by saying that, "Even Ishika would oppose his decision." As told by him, her photo falls down.

Raagul eventually, agrees to rejoin the space station station Thumba and in further, gets married to Nisha. India is praised by the world countries for their efforts and hardwork to achieve this feet of success.

Ram's daughter feels proud to see him while, Arul and Mouli's family too similarly appreciates them.

Finally, Raagul tells to Nisha, "Innovation is needed to the present world. If we think that everything is possible, we can achieve the foot of success. If we think in a negative way then success is impossible. It's not only for you. But, it's for everyone in this world, who wanted to do something innovative and creative with their concept, craftful thoughts and ideas."
