| Abstract | Project Mercury was the first space program to create a real time computer-centered, worldwide satellite tracking and communications network. This network is a complex of remote sites or stations having a direct, on-demand access to the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) computers via various transmission linkages: teletype, submarine cable, land lines, etc. Distance between a given site and these computers ranges from less than one thousand miles on the one hand to worldwide proportions on the other. With such an extensive network, a quick and accurate method to determine network capability to provide mission support had to be developed. Such a method had to provide for the quick identification and isolation of any malfunction anywhere in the network. In addition, a -and-ldquo;test standard-and-rdquo; applicable to all sites was needed regardless of their individual equipment configuration. Thus, a status of -and-ldquo;Good-and-rdquo; at the Canary Islands had to be identical with a status of -and-ldquo;Good-and-rdquo; at Woomera, Australia. Another factor to be considered was the tendency of electronic equipment to drift off calibration after being peaked for support of a mission. This tendency required that the peaking and the means of status determination of the equipment for support of a mission had to be performed reasonably close to llftoff. To fulfill these requirements, CADFIST, a computer-controlled, automated, network test was designed. It is a real time tracking network status check which simultaneously tests the major subsystem at each of the world-wide sites for their ability and readiness to support manned missions. CADFIST is an abbreviation for Computation and Data Flow Integrated Subsystem Test. The system, made up of individual tests under control of a master program, is designed to provide a qualitative measure of how well certain logical subsets of the over all network are functioning. Without CADFISS testing, this network verification would have to be accomplished by a personor persons centrally located making visual and voice checks. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
