A mile-long, hippo-shaped asteroid which scientists have been tracking because of a potential collision risk with Earth has skimmed by on its closest approach for more than 400 years.

A powerful rocket requires a powerful engine. But it also requires a smart one.
That's why engineers for NASA's Space Launch System, being built for eventual deep space and Mars missions, are giving a new 'brain' to an old engine. http://1.usa.gov/1wa2Gwg

"The second orbit raising operation of
GSAT-16 is successfully completed by
firing the Apogee Motor for 2203
seconds, at 13:05 hrs (IST)," Isro said
on its website.
A day after the successful launch of
GSAT-16, its Liquid Apogee Motor
(LAM) was fired yesterday, in the
first orbit raising manoeuvre.
The orbit of the satellite will be raised
to Geostationary Orbit of about 36,000
km altitude through three orbit raising
manoeuvres by firing of GSAT-16's
LAM Engine.
The satellite will be placed in the
Geostationary Orbit by December 12.
