AI & Atmosphere
Near Space Labs launched AI-powered balloon robots, a fascinating concept! The 'ignorosphere', is also being explored. These advancements promise to improve
weather forecasts and even understand the universe's mysteries. The technology promises to push our boundaries, much like a Diwali rocket soaring into the sky!
Deep Space Radar
The US Space Force tested its new deep-space radar, tracking multiple satellites at 22,000 miles. Meanwhile, the X-37B space plane is testing quantum alternatives to GPS. These cutting-edge developments highlight the evolving nature of space surveillance. This is akin to India's own robust surveillance network!
Exoplanets & Beyond
Astronomers discovered an exoplanet in a multi-ring disk. Also, the JWST captured a stunning image of a dead 'sun' forming exoplanet building blocks. With NASA's focus on reaching 'difficult-to-reach orbits', it hints at exciting missions ahead, echoing India's future ambitious space explorations.
SpaceX & Starship
SpaceX successfully launched Starlink satellites, completing its 400th droneship landing. There are also plans for the Starship Mars rocket. These are indicators of progress in space exploration. Like the ISRO's achievements, these are stepping stones to future inter-planetary explorations.
