This is a significant milestone in Mars exploration. Each sample Perseverance brings scientists closer to responding to one of humanity's oldest questions: Are we alone in this universe?
This remarkable transformation is taking place in the Atal Residential Schools of Uttar Pradesh, which are rapidly emerging as centres of innovation, empowerment, and self-confidence for the state’s most marginalized children.
The recent return of astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams from an unexpectedly prolonged mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS) marks yet another milestone in humanity’s evolving relationship with space.
The first ever venture into Venus is part of the country's space exploration, claimed the topmost ISRO scientists here on Wednesday.
The finding made using data from NASA’s MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) satellite may help in future space missions.
The research team from California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) found that around four billion years ago, Mars was home to enough water to have covered the whole planet in an ocean about 100 to 1,500 metres deep; a volume roughly equivalent to half of Earth's Atlantic Ocean.
A key objective for Perseverance's mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life.
In the following weeks, Perseverance will test its robotic arm and take its first, short drive.
There is a knotty problem of defining hunger, subjectively and objectively, and differentiating it from starvation on the one hand and malnutrition on the other. Hunger literally means the physiological desire to consume food. But this subjective definition does not lead automatically to an understanding of the extent of food deprivation.
NASA will also have its first all-female spacewalk at the end of the month, when astronauts Anne McClain and Christina Koch will get to float around in space.
