According to a report by PTI, NASA on Saturday paid tribute former Indian President, Bharat Ratna Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam by naming a newly discovered organism after him. Reportedly, the bacterium named Solibacillus kalamii by NASA scientist Kasthuri Venkateswaran is found only on the ISS, which is orbiting Earth at 400 km. Notably, Kalam had trained at NASA in 1963 before setting up India's first rocket-launching facility in Kerala.
