Pixxel, Digantara launch satellites to monitor earth, space objects

Two Indian space start-ups -- Pixxel and Digantara -- on Wednesday announced the launch of their satellites onboard a SpaceX rocket to closely monitor the earth and objects orbiting around it, marking a new era for the private firms in the space sector. Pixxel became the first private company in India to have its own constellation of satellites using the cutting-edge hyper-spectral frequency that allows observation of the earth in over 150 bands, a technology that is useful in sectors as diverse as agriculture and defence. Digantara Aerospace announced the launch of the world's first commercial satellite - Space Camera for Object Tracking (SCOT) - for surveillance of objects as small as 5 cm orbiting the earth to ensure safer space operations. Surveillance of outer space or situational space awareness (SSA) is important to ensure the safety of spacecraft as orbits around the earth become crowded with artificial satellites as well as space debris.

Polish town invites Musk to buy its castle for his European headquarters

A town in Poland is encouraging Elon Musk to buy its vast 13th-century castle and turn it into his European headquarters. The mayor of Glogowek, Piotr Bujak, said Tuesday that he recently posted the invitation on Musk's social media platform X and has sent letters to his companies, advocating for him to buy the castle. No price tag has been announced, and Musk hasn't responded to the offer so far. Bujak told The Associated Press that he saw media reports in Europe suggesting that the US tech billionaire is looking for a sizeable location, possibly a castle in Italy, as a hub for his operations on the continent. The Glogowek castle in southwestern Poland boasts a rich history going back to the Middle Ages, briefly serving as Poland's capital in the 17th century. It has also hosted composer Ludwig van Beethoven, who wrote music there. The castle has a very good vibe and is a perfect location for great things, Bujak told the AP. The area has a long winemaking tradition. We do not f

Musk holds discussions with Germany's 'far-right' leaders ahead of polls

Tech billionaire Elon Musk live-streamed a chat with a leader of Germany's far-right party on Thursday, using the power of his social media platform, X, to amplify its message ahead of an upcoming national election and raising concerns across Europe about potential meddling by the world's richest man. Musk, who worked last year to help reelect Donald Trump in the United States, told Alice Weidel, a co-leader of the Alternative for Germany party and its candidate for chancellor, that he was strongly recommending that people vote for AfD, using the acronym for the party. The two agreed that Germany's taxes are too high, that there is too much immigration and that it was a mistake for the country to shut down nuclear power plants. More than 190,000 X accounts tuned into the conversation.

No pvt discussion with Musk: Meloni on Italy's telecom security system deal

Italy's Premier Giorgia Meloni said Thursday that her government is in talks with several private companies, including Elon Musk's SpaceX, over the country's telecoms security system, but denied having discussed the issue privately with Musk. I never talked about this with Musk. It's not my habit to use my public role to do favors to friends, Meloni said, responding to reporters' questions during her start-of-the-year press conference on a possible deal with Musk's group over Italian telecoms security. Meloni stressed that national interest was the only lens through which she judged such potential contracts with SpaceX, the owner of satellite system Starlink. Reportedly worth 1.5 billion euros ($1.6 billion) and spread over five years, the project sparked an outcry by Italy's opposition parties, questioning that the handling of such communications could be handed to a Musk company. If the deal is sealed, SpaceX would provide encryption services for the Italian government and ...
