Proba-3, a unique double-satellite mission that aims at studying the Sun's outer atmosphere was suppose to lift off today, but delayed due to. As per the information, the spacecraft will lift off on December 5 at 04:12 PM IST now.
Proba-3 mission consists of two different satellites that will create many eclipses during their mission to help scientists study the Sun's corona. The spacecraft will launch from India.
Efforts to measure lunar timing are part of a program that aims to increase human activity on the lunar surface. Precise timing will be crucial for pinpointing landings.
Investigators are working to determine the source of the odour, which may have originated either from the Progress spacecraft or its vestibule connecting to the ISS. This incident follows a series of earlier issues with Russian spacecraft, raising concerns about their reliability.
A Hyderabad-based startup, TakeMe2Space, is launching India's first AI lab in space next month. This AI lab, aboard ISRO's PSLV rocket, will demonstrate real-time data processing in orbit, making space research more accessible and cost-effective.
Recent studies indicate that the Earth's rotational axis is shifting due to groundwater extraction, resulting in mass redistribution. This phenomenon has also contributed to a rise in sea levels by approximately 0.24 inches.
ISRO plans to utilize its PSLV to send the solar probes into space. The mission consists of two spacecraft that are stacked vertically for the launch.
This groundbreaking research offers fresh insights into the moons' unusual features, including their irregular, potato-like shapes and stable, near-circular orbits, challenging long-standing theories about their origins.
If the rapid movement persists, the magnetic North Pole could shift another 660 kilometres over the next decade. Scientists at BGS predict this could cause compasses to "likely point eastward of true north" by 2040.
SpaceX's recent launch was Starship's sixth test flight, during which the company intentionally pushed Starship to its limits. The company will now make further modifications to Starship before the next flight.
NASA's 1975 Viking mission aimed to detect Martian life but may have accidentally destroyed it. Using Earth-based techniques, the landers added water to soil samples, potentially overwhelming microbes adapted to Mars' ultra-dry conditions, claims an astrobiologist.
ISRO's new satellite weighs 4,700 kg and is capable of providing broadband in remote areas as well as in-flight Wi-Fi services. Currently, ISRO lacks the capability to launch heavier satellites.
China's Chang'e-5 mission returned with rock samples from the far side of the Moon. The study of these rocks provided new insights into volcanic activity on the Moon.
Currently, most climate finance is provided as loans, creating a burden on countries. The developed nations have also failed to meet the USD 100 billion annual funding target.
Hubble Space Telescope has revealed the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) losing its gas halo due to a close encounter with the Milky Way. The LMC’s halo, now just 50,000 light-years wide, has been reduced by gravitational forces. Researchers highlight this as a key example of galactic interactions.
ISRO reportedly saved the collision between its Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter and the Korean Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) above the Moon.
Through collaborations with the US Department of Defense, the World Bank, and the United Nations, NASA’s Earth Information Center provides critical future projections on sea levels and potential flooding up to 2150. Integrating satellite data, ice sheet dynamics, and advanced computer modelling.
The Taurid meteor showers offer a yearly spectacle, making November a special month for both amateur stargazers and seasoned astronomers. With bright fireballs crossing the sky, the North Taurid Peak is a celestial event that captures the imagination and lights up the night sky.
With the rising concerns related to the health of Sunita Williams, it was recently discovered that she stated being fit and healthy. The astronaut has been in space for months and has been working out to maintain her health.
The Indian classical song “Jaat Kahan Ho” by Kesarbai Kerkar holds a special place in history as the only Indian track featured on NASA’s Voyager 1 Golden Record. The song symbolizes the vast reach of human culture into the cosmos.
