Balancing the risks of space travel against the immense potential of space exploration is a challenging yet crucial endeavour. Despite the health dangers, the scientific discoveries that could result from sending humans to Mars hold the promise of being revolutionary.
ISRO's SSLV has successfully placed EOS-08 precisely into orbit, marking the successful completion of ISRO/DOS's SSLV Development Project. This achievement holds significant importance for India.
ISRO has successfully launched its Small Satellite Launch Vehicle-03 (SSLV-D3), placing the EOS-08 satellite into its designated orbit. This mission, executed flawlessly, is the final developmental flight of the SSLV, highlighting ISRO's precision in small satellite launches.
In his 78th Independence Day speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also emphasised the success of Chandrayaan and the role of educational institutions in promoting scientific temper among youth.
NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore are still stuck at the International Space Station (ISS) as engineers continue to fix the Boeing Starliner spacecraft that will take them back to Earth.
Built on the Microsat/IMS-1 bus, EOS-08 carries three payloads: Electro Optical Infrared Payload (EOIR), Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry payload (GNSS-R), and SiC UV Dosimeter.
The mission will utilize Northrop Grumman's Cygnus spacecraft (NG-21) and SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, launched from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

This mission represents the agency's 21st commercial resupply services mission to the orbiting laboratory, utili
India-USA joint statement during the official state visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the USA in June 2023 envisions a joint ISRO-NASA effort to the International Space Station (ISS), the ISRO said in a release.
The study, published in Stem Cell Reports, found that muscle cells exposed to microgravity showed metabolic changes that indicate impaired muscle regeneration. Additionally, these cells exhibited gene activity similar to that observed in age-related muscle loss, known as sarcopenia.
NASA recently used laser communication technology to send 4K video streams from an aircraft to the International Space Station (ISS) and back- a feat which will make its way to providing live video coverage of astronauts on the Moon during the Artemis missions.
The South Korean Space Agency (KASA) has announced that the budget of 380.8 billion won will be allocated to constructing three industrial complexes, specifically for space vehicles.
As the Moon moved across Saturn, temporarily hiding the gas giant's iconic rings, observers were treated to a mesmerising spectacle. The Shani Chandra Grahan serves as a reminder of the wonders of the universe and the continual opportunities it offers for discovery and exploration.
The Italian scientists’ research findings suggest there could be hundreds of pits on the moon and thousands of lava tubes which could serve as a natural shelter for astronauts and could protect them from cosmic rays and solar radiation.
