space exploration, marking the first time a spacewalk will be conducted without the involvement of government astronauts.The Polaris Dawn mission will see a crew of four SpaceX astronauts, led by billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman, venture into Earth's orbit aboard a modified Crew Dragon capsule. What sets this mission apart from previous spacewalks is that the entire capsule will be depressurized, forcing all crew members to rely solely on their spacesuits for survival.

NASA has decided it’s too risky to bring two astronauts back to Earth in Boeing’s troubled new capsule

NASA's announcement Saturday that it won't use a troubled Boeing capsule to return two stranded astronauts to Earth is a yet another setback for the struggling company, although the financial damage is likely to be less than the reputational harm. Once a symbol of American engineering and technological prowess, Boeing has seen its reputation battered since two 737 Max airliners crashed in 2018 and 2019, killing 346 people. The safety of its products came under renewed scrutiny after a panel blew out of a Max during a flight this January. And now NASA has decided that it is safer to keep the astronauts in space until February rather than risk using the Boeing Starliner capsule that delivered them to the international space station. The capsule has been plagued by problems with its propulsion system.

Thank you for the love and support! Jai Hind!,» Dhawan said in a post on 'X'.

Delhi: Real-world vehicle emissions are much higher than laboratory tests suggest and CNG vehicles, once considered a cleaner alternative, actually emit high levels of nitrogen oxides, according to a new study. Conducted as part of The Real Urban Emissions (TRUE) Initiative in collaboration with authorities in Delhi and Gurugram, the study utilised non-intrusive remote sensing technology to measure the emissions of on-road vehicles. The study, conducted with technical analysis by the global think tank International Council on Clean Transportation, revealed that nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from BS-VI private cars were 81 per cent lower than those from BS-IV cars. Similarly, BS-VI buses produced 95% lower NOx compared to BS-IV buses.

Sunita Williams may not return to Earth for quite some time. During an interaction with the media, NASA revealed that the astronaut and her colleague Butch Wilmore could stay in space for at least six more months. The space agency announced that they are considering extending the stay of two astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) until early 2025 due to ongoing complications with Boeing's Starliner capsule. If NASA opts to bring the Starliner back without a crew, Butch and Suni would remain on the ISS until late February 2025. In this scenario, NASA would adjust the SpaceX Crew-9 mission, sending only two crew members instead of the usual four in late September. Butch and Suni would then return to Earth after the Crew-9 mission is completed early next year.

SpaceX's attempt at the first ever private spacewalk next week will be a test of trailblazing equipment, including slim spacesuits and a cabin with no airlock, in one of the riskiest missions yet for Elon Musk's space company. A billionaire entrepreneur, a retired military fighter pilot and two SpaceX employees are poised to launch on Tuesday aboard a modified Crew Dragon craft, before embarking on a 20-minute spacewalk 434 miles (700 km) into space two days later. Until now, walking into the empty expanse of space has only been attempted by government astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS), 250 miles (400 km) above Earth.

St Stephen's College through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) are encountering uncertainty. Although they were allocated seats based on their CUET scores, the college has denied them admission. One student's allocation status says ‘verified by convener', but it hasn't been processed further. Another student says she was never given the fee payment link after allocation. On contacting the college, they were told the seats were already full. This has left the students, all high-scorers, and their families in a catch-22 situation as they are not able to opt for their second choice now. According to a senior university official, the number of such candidates is 22.

Rice cultivation is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane. Indian paddy fields emit about 3.3 million tonnes of methane annually, which accounts for around 10% of the country's total methane emissions.

NASA said on Thursday it expects to announce on Saturday its decision on whether the two astronauts who rode Boeing's glitchy Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station will need a SpaceX vehicle to return to Earth. «NASA's decision on whether to return Starliner to Earth with astronauts aboard is expected no earlier than Saturday, Aug. 24 at the conclusion of an agency-level review,» the space agency said in a statement. Starliner launched its first two astronauts into space in June as a crucial test before it can receive NASA approval for routine flights. But what was supposed to be an eight-day mission docked to the ISS has been drawn out by months after the capsule sprang leaks and some of its thrusters failed.
