The National Testing Agency came under fire over alleged irregularities in the conduct of NEET-UG and PhD entrance NET.  Later, the government set up a panel in July to study the functioning of the NTA

ISRO is gearing up for a mission to demonstrate a space docking experiment called SPADEX, onboard its trusted workhorse polar satellite launch vehicle, its chairman S Somanath said here on Thursday.

The Proba-3 (Project for Onboard Autonomy) mission consists of twin satellites in which two spacecraft (placed inside the satellites) would fly together as one, maintaining a precise formation down to a single milli-metre to study the Sun's outer atmosphere.

The launch on December 4 at 4:06 pm will entail the PSLV-C59 carrying around satellites weighing nearly 550 kg in a highly elliptical orbit

Recently, ISRO selected a group of Space Tutors from across the country to promote space education, with Bhoopathi being the chosen candidate from Telangana. Bhoopathi, an Architecture graduate from JNAFAU University, founded the Ancient Technologies Design Research Lab to explore how ancient knowledge can address contemporary challenges.

Training includes familiarisation sessions with the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and various onboard systems of the International Space Station

Proba-3, designed to study the Sun's faint corona near the solar rim, is set to launch aboard the PSLV-XL rocket operated by ISRO. The mission will lift off at 4:08 PM IST on December 4, 2024, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. Announcing the launch, ISRO shared on X, “The PSLV-C59/PROBA-03 Mission is set to take flight on 4th December 2024, 16:08 IST from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota!”

GSAT-N2 High-throughput satellite onboard a Falcon 9 rocket has been injected into the desired orbit, says New Space India Limited

The mission, featuring a compact inflatable habitat called Hab-1, will simulate life in an interplanetary environment and is taking place in Leh, Ladakh. As India prepares for upcoming space missions, this initiative aims to explore the challenges future astronauts may face on missions beyond Earth.

The bench took note of the fact that the report of the panel was almost complete and granted two more weeks for filing the same

Gujjula Harshavardhan Reddy, a 7th class student of Teja Vidyalaya, won the opportunity by standing in the top 100 in a quiz competition conducted by the ISRO between August 10 and September 30.

The Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) will provide ISRO with the Venusian Neutrals Analyser (VNA), a lightweight and low-power yet highly effective energetic neutral atom (ENA) analyser. The VNA will examine the interaction between charged particles from the Sun and Venus' atmosphere and exosphere.

Curated by gallery owner Prshant Lahoti, the exhibit blends art, science, and history through nearly 100 artworks inspired by maps.

Madhavan appeared on the podcast of Ranveer Allahbadia, called ‘The Ranveer Show.'

ISRO has introduced Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) activities for organising interactive video sessions with space scientists, facilities for students to present their creative imaginations, virtual museum and space quiz to test their knowledge

Says the rocket placed the spacecraft in the very precise orbit as planned and there are no deviations in the injection of satellites

ISRO successfully launched its third and final developmental flight, Small Satellite Launch Vehicle-D3, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, carrying the Earth Observation Satellite EOS-08. The mission aims to design a microsatellite and develop compatible payload instruments, marking a significant step in India's space capabilities

The geographical advantage of CRENS being located here allows it to collaborate with many institutions of national importance in and around Hyderabad

Says ISRO's Chandrayaan-3 mission captured the attention of several startups to tap the Indian space sector

According to ISRO's National Remote Sensing Centre data, 10 out of the 30 most landslide-prone districts in India are in Kerala, with Wayanad ranked 13th
