Description:
On April 10, 1982, India launched its first multipurpose satellite, INSAT-1. <br/><br/>This satellite was used for both communications and weather forecasting. The Indian Space Research Organization contracted NASA to launch it, and it was built by the American company Ford Aerospace. INSAT-1 lifted off on a Delta Rocket from Cape Canaveral and entered a geostationary orbit. This meant that it was always observing the same part of the planet. While its launch was successful, the satellite had some trouble with its solar arrays and antennas while in orbit. Its stabilization boom failed to deploy, so the satellite's instruments weren't pointed in the right direction. Then it used up all its propellant while trying to correct its orientation. The mission was designed to last 7 years, but it only made it to 17 months before it was abandoned.

When The American Horror Story star and her son moved into their new home, she enlisted AD100’s Pierce & Ward to work their magic on the space. Rich florals and luxurious velvets pair with vintage furniture creating a cozy environment for Roberts to kick back and relax. Roberts was excited at the idea of making her very own grown-up dollhouse and with an extensive doll collection, her home has become just that. Ready for a new chapter in her new home, Roberts couldn’t be happier with how the space turned out. “I have a picture of the day we moved in,” Roberts says, smiling. “I’m holding him and it was the most sunny California day, and we were in front of the blue door of our new house. I just remember feeling like we are exactly where we need to be.”See more of Emma Roberts's LA home hereShop pieces inspired by Emma Roberts's LA home:https://www.architecturaldigest.com/shopping/emma-roberts-open-doorWhen you buy something through our retail links, we earn an affiliate commission.")

Frustrated with the intricacies of Adobe Illustrator and other design platforms, Danila created a mobile-first app--after enough people asked where they could buy it, too--and it blew up overnight, he says. With no marketing, the app made $40,000 in sales almost immediately. He knew the product was worth something, but Danila says his lack of experience, at 17, made the beginnings complicated. \")
