India's ISRO is set to launch its inaugural Venus mission, Shukrayaan-1, aiming to explore the planet's sub-surface characteristics. Venus, once Earth-like, underwent a fiery transformation, experiencing a runaway greenhouse effect. Scorching temperatures and high pressures, make planetary exploration challenging, says Girish Linganna
ISRO has achieved a significant milestone in its Aditya L-1 mission, dedicated to studying the Sun's secrets and its impact on space weather dynamics. The Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) on Aditya L-1 successfully operated its shutter, capturing the Sun's complete disk in the 200-400 nm wavelength range. Girish Linganna explains
DRDO introduces a 70-ton canisterized missile system, prompting speculation about its compatibility with Agni-V Mk-2 or the anticipated Agni-VI Inter Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). The Agni-V Mk-2's modified design suggests the launcher may be intended for a missile weighing over 60-65 tonnes
Girish Linganna explains the significance of the successful capture of initial complete images of the Sun's disk by the Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) on the Aditya L-1 spacecraft. SUIT, activated on November 20, 2023. The images reveal sunspots, plage, and quiet Sun regions, offering insights into solar dynamics.
There are reports that Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, may have activated the legendary Kidon unit for covert operations and assassinations, known for its effectiveness in combating terrorism worldwide. Girish Linganna sheds more light on Israel's elite assassins
While critics raise valid concerns of losing PoK to Pakistan, it is essential to recognize that the circumstances surrounding the Kashmir conflict were multifaceted and influenced by geopolitical complexities, says Girish Linganna
The NASA-ISRO collaboration aims to share technological insights and reduce costs, with potential benefits including enhancing India's expertise in human spaceflight, fostering scientific cooperation, and inspiring the younger generation. Girish Linganna explains
Even though Israel is currently hammering the south with airstrikes and losses are growing, international criticism will make it difficult for the IDF to replicate the northern tactics in the long run, and the campaign will most likely rely on raids and more targeted operations, says Girish Linganna
The NISAR mission, a joint venture, focuses on Earth observation through an advanced satellite equipped with dual-frequency synthetic aperture radar technology. Dr. Krishnamurthy's role in the project involves leading the verification and validation evidence management process. Girish Linganna reports
Indian Space Research Organisation Chairman S Somanath has spoken of the presence of companies engaged in manufacturing aerospace components and systems, which, along with Boeing, provide promising prospects for the upcoming generation, notes Girish Linganna
