Joshimath Sinking: The administration is in constant touch with the affected people, he said, adding that basic facilities are being provided to them at the relief camps. Dhami said the decisions taken by the state cabinet on Friday are in the larger interest of those affected by land subsidence.
The NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) Mission will measure the Earth's changing ecosystems, dynamic surfaces, and ice masses to provide information about biomass, natural hazards, sea level rise, and groundwater and will support a host of other applications.
Joshimath sinking: The land subsidence was slow between April and November 2022, during which Joshimath had sunk by 8.9 cm. But between December 27, 2022, and January 8, 2023, the intensity of land subsidence increased and the town sank by 5.4 cm in these 12 days.
ISRO 2023 missions: The upcoming year will also witness a series of experiments on India's maiden human space flight- Gaganyaan project- with the first uncrewed mission expected in the last quarter of 2023.
ISRO espionage case: The matter was remanded back to the high court by a bench of justices MR Shah and CT Ravikumar, who directed it to decide the issue within four weeks.
As per the conditions, ISRO has to follow the guidelines of the Storage and Transportation of Explosives Committee (STEC) for the construction of buildings for the manufacture, storage, transportation and use of explosives.
PSLV-C54 launch: The Earth Observation Satellite-6 is the third-generation satellite in the Oceansat series. This is to provide continuity services of Oceansat-2 spacecraft with enhanced payload specifications as well as application areas.
Skyroot Aerospace-designed Vikram-S, named in a befitting tribute to the father of the country's space programme Vikram Sarabhai, tasted success in its maiden mission.
Developed by four-year-old startup Skyroot Aerospace, today's event marks the private sector's maiden foray into the launch vehicle segment, after the space segment was thrown open to private players in 2020.
Vikram-S will soar to an altitude of 81 km after its launch from Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The launch vehicle has been named so as a tribute to the father of the Indian Space programme, the late Vikram Sarabhai.
With this mission, Skyroot Aerospace is set to become the first private space company in India to launch a rocket into space.
ISRO will conduct at least 17 different tests before the final unmanned space flight in December next year.

A 24-hour countdown to the launch has started. Another set of 36 OneWeb satellites will be launched by the LVM3 in the first half of next year, said Scientist S Somanath, Chairman, ISRO.
Chandrayaan-3 (C-3) launch will be in June next year onboard the Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM3), said Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chairman S Somnath while interacting with media personnel on the sidelines of an event.
LVM3 M2 launch: "It is the first LVM3-dedicated commercial launch on demand through NSIL," ISRO had said.
Chandrayaan-2: The study finds that a part of the signal could be arising from a thin veneer of sodium atoms weakly bound to the lunar grains.
According to ISRO, the 36 satellites have undergone health checks successfully and has been integrated with the dispenser unit.
