Titanium rings stolen
By Our Staff Reporter
BANGALORE,
FEB. 13.
Titanium alloy rings worth Rs. 22.5 lakhs were reported stolen from an Indian Space Research Organisation facility here on Thursday. Police said 29 lightweight rings were reported missing by officials of the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre here. The centre's Group Director, C.S. Prasad, said in a complaint to police that the rings had been brought from the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Thiruvananthapuram, a week ago.
Nearly 85 per cent of the structural components of space shuttles and aircraft are made of titanium. The metal alloy, which is capable of withstanding extreme pressures and temperatures, can be used to make large bands that separate two stages of a launch vehicle.
