NISAR marks a significant milestone in India-US space cooperation, highlighting their joint commitment to global scientific advancement. The mission, over a decade in the making, comes with a price tag exceeding $1.5 billion.
NISAR marks a strong step in India-US space ties. It shows both countries are working together for global science. The mission took over a decade to build and cost over $1.5 billion.
A powerful new radar satellite, jointly developed by the United States and India, is set to launch today. The satellite is designed to monitor subtle shifts in Earth’s land and ice surfaces, aiding in the prediction of both natural disasters and human-induced hazards.
The rocket, GSLV Mk II, stands 52 metres tall. It features solid, liquid, and cryogenic-powered stages. This heavy-lift launcher is India’s biggest rocket to date.
The TRACERS mission will study how the solar wind, the continuous stream of ionized particles escaping the Sun and pouring out into space, interacts with Earth’s magnetosphere, the region around Earth dominated by our planet’s magnetic field.
The Sun reached its 11-year peak in late 2024, known as the solar maximum. During this phase, it unleashes more intense solar storms than usual.
The spacecraft carried nearly 6,700 pounds of supplies. Inside were scientific experiments designed for low gravity.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched a special satellite that can see deep inside the world's tropical rainforests.
A new study reveals that rising vegetation in European mountains, fuelled by climate and land use shifts, is cutting genetic diversity in medicinal plants like Greek mountain tea.
Even before the eruption, the volcano gave off subtle signals. A low-frequency wave, known as a Rayleigh wave, was detected by seismometers 644 kilometres away.
On Wednesday evening, the launch of the Atlas V rocket was set. To enable Amazon's upcoming internet service, it had 27 satellites onboard.
Get ready for the NISAR mission, a joint NASA-ISRO venture, to revolutionize Earth observation. This innovative satellite will track land deformation, monitor climate change, and aid disaster management.
ISRO postpones its maiden satellite docking attempt, SpaDeX, to January 9. This critical mission paves the way for India's future space ambitions, including the Bharati Antriksh station.
Launched in 2000, Salsa was part of the Cluster mission, an effort to study Earth's magnetosphere, which acts as a protective layer against the solar wind.
The committee will put forth its report and recommendations in the cabinet meeting tomorrow and final decision on declaring scarcity in drought-hit talukas in the state will be taken soon, Khadse told reporters here.
Google plans to invest more than USD 200 million to refurbish the hangars and add other improvements, including a museum or educational facility that will showcase the history of Moffett and Silicon Valley, according to a NASA statement.
The bare lightbulbs, unheated rooms and elderly residents of the whitewashed village of Yangwang in eastern China make it seem an unlikely place for an experiment in cutting-edge satellite technology.
