| Abstract | In 2011 NASA will launch the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) as part of its Mars Exploration Program to learn more about the red planet's environment and geological history. To fulfill that goal, the MSL rover, built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), is outfitted with the most extensive array of scientific instruments ever landed on the Martian surface. The Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), mounted on the end of the rover's robotic arm, is one of the primary science cameras for MSL. This camera affords many improvements over those used on previous Mars missions, particularly the ability to focus throughout a wide spatial range. A novel mechanism uses one motor to actuate an internal lens group, enabling focus capability, and manipulate a protective dust cover. This mechanism is designed to operate in the severe thermal environment of the MSL mission (−120° C to +40° C) and to survive for one Martian year with 3x margin (about 2000 Earth days) using non-standard materials and techniques in order to meet mass and optical requirements. Several issues involving lubrication and wear were encountered in developing this instrument; each solved through sound engineering and/or system level redesign. The qualification model passed full level life testing at temperatures throughout the operating range with negligible reduction in performance. Alliance Spacesystems, LLC supplied the flight model mechanism to Malin Space Science Systems (MSSS) where it was integrated with electronics and in turn delivered to JPL in October 2008. |

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.
