Union Cabinet Approves Next Generation Launch Vehicle

-



The Union Cabinet of India, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved the development of the Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV). This decision is a big step for India’s space exploration goals and sets the stage for future projects, like building the Bharatiya Antariksh Station (Indian Space Station) and a crewed mission to the Moon by 2040.

What is the NGLV?

The NGLV is a new, advanced rocket system that will improve India’s ability to launch missions into space. It is a key part of India’s plan to expand its space program and take on larger, more complex space projects in the future.

Payload Capacity

One of the most important features of the NGLV is its ability to carry a much heavier load into space. It can carry up to 30 tonnes to Low Earth Orbit (LEO), which is three times more than what India’s current LVM3 rocket can handle. This makes it possible for India to launch bigger satellites and more ambitious space missions.

Future Space Missions

The NGLV will play a key role in many future space missions, including those that will carry humans into space. It will also support missions with heavier payloads that are important for building the Indian Space Station and exploring the Moon. These missions are part of India’s broader goals during the Amrit Kaal period, which focuses on national development.

About India’s Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV)

India’s Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV) is designed by ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) to improve reliability and carry heavier satellites into space. It will feature reusable parts and is expected to have its first flight around 2025. With a modular design, the NGLV can be quickly adjusted for different missions, making it an important tool for India’s growing role in the commercial space industry. The use of indigenous materials also highlights India’s focus on self-reliance in space technology.

Technology alone is never enough for true productivity

-

Technology continues to change how we work, and gen AI is the latest, greatest disruptor. But real productivity happens only when companies holistically rethink how they do business. As generative AI (gen AI) grips the attention of business, corporate leadership can support their companies’ growth most by prioritizing the needs of their workers while simultaneously standardizing the use of cutting-edge tech. In this episode of the At the Edge podcast, economist and Stanford professor Erik Brynjolfsson speaks with McKinsey’s Lareina Yee about how gen AI differs from previous technological innovations, why it will likely augment more jobs than it replaces, and why keeping humans in the loop is essential. An edited transcript of the discussion follows. For more conversations on cutting-edge technology, follow the series on your preferred podcast platform. Why gen AI is spreading faster than previous technologies Lareina Yee: Erik, let’s start with your research, which over the last three

New Wetland Virus

-
Image
Scientists have discovered a new virus in China called the Wetland Virus, which is carried by ticks. They are concerned about its potential effects on human health because it can lead to serious neurological (brain-related) complications. Discovery and Initial Case The first case of the Wetland Virus was found in June 2019 when a 61-year-old man became very ill after being bitten by ticks in a northern Chinese wetland park. He had severe symptoms like fever, headaches, and vomiting. This case led scientists to investigate the virus further. The Wetland Virus is classified as Orthonairovirus, a type of virus that is often spread through tick bites. This scientific classification helps researchers understand which group of viruses it belongs to and how it may behave. Symptoms and Effects At least 17 people in China who were bitten by ticks have shown symptoms of the Wetland Virus. These symptoms include Fever, Dizziness, Headache, Tiredness (malaise), Joint pain (arthritis), Back pain,

Sweden Reports First Case of mpox Strain outside Africa

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced that Sweden became the first country outside of Africa to report a case of the emerging clade I variant of mpox, on August 15, 2024. Due to the rapid spread of clade 1b, a variant of clade 1, the WHO declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). In the United States, mpox has been detected in wastewater at three locations, mainly in California and Illinois, linked to clade II, which was part of the 2022 outbreak. The more dangerous clade I, common in Africa, has not been detected in the US. Statistics and Spread: In 2024, over 2,100 confirmed mpox cases and 13 deaths were reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and eleven other countries, including Burundi, Cameroon, and Nigeria. This marks a significant increase from the previous year, which saw 1,145 confirmed cases and seven deaths. Vaccine Development: In response to the outbreak, the WHO is fast-tracking the Emergency Use Listing (EUL) process for mpox
