The anthology's staggering diversity and breadth aptly capture the staggering diversity and breadth of the Indian hills

Bengaluru-based private space technology company GalaxEye's upcoming satellite mission, Mission Drishti, will feature NVIDIA Jetson Orin, a powerful compact computer designed to run complex artificial intelligence models, officials said on Wednesday. It will help the satellite accelerate processing and interpretation of Earth observation data in space, and quickly deliver the data to its customers. In a statement, GalaxEye CEO Suyash Singh said, "Taking NVIDIA Jetson Orin to space aboard Mission Drishti is a defining milestone for GalaxEye. Building on our successful in-space demonstration in 2024, we're advancing to next-generation of Earth observation satellites." Mission Drishti will also carry what GalaxEye calls the world's first SyncFused OptoSAR architecture, which integrates Electro-Optical (EO) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors on a single satellite platform. While EO sensors capture high-resolution images during sunlight and clear skies, SAR sensors provide ...

Shubhanshu Shukla returned to Earth after spending 18 days in microgravity. After splashdown, he will undergo a number procedures as part of his post-spaceflight recovery process

In an unexpected twist, Earth's spin is set to accelerate in July and August, leading to the shortest days on record - with July 9, July 22 and August 5 tipped to lose precious milliseconds

Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla on Friday said he and fellow astronauts on the International Space Station relished 'aam ras', 'gajar ka halwa', 'moong dal halwa' and delicacies from other countries as he completed a week on board the orbital lab. Shukla, who docked at the ISS on June 26 as part of the Axiom-4 mission, completed a week on the ISS and got a day off, which he spent connecting with family and friends back on Earth. The Axiom-4 (Ax-4) crew, which includes Shukla and three other astronauts, completed 113 orbits around the Earth by the end of July 3, clocking over 4.66 million km, which is equivalent to nearly 12 times the distance between the Earth and the moon. "It was a good moment. We got food from different countries and got to share it with all the crew," Shukla, who has the call sign Shux', said in a brief interaction with scientists at the URSC, Bengaluru over HAM radio connection. On Thursday, Shukla also became the Indian astronaut with the longest stay in space, .
