Manastu Space has signed an MOU with @axelspace to explore an in-orbit demonstration of our green propulsion system via their AxelLiner Laboratory. We will jointly assess to integrate our technology into Axelspace spacecraft. Indian propulsion meets Japan’s path to orbit. 🇮🇳🇯🇵

Astrophel has tested an actuator for its own reusable rockets, and it intends to vend it to others as well. They developed the actuator after realising that domestically developed components were much cheaper than imported ones. @AstrophelHQ indianspaceflight.in/forum/p…

It is a given that a rocket fighting gravity needs powerful engines. It also needs precise control over where that thrust goes. As India’s private space industr

Hmm the Hopper test originally scheduled for 15 August, then Dec 2026, has now been pushed to early 2027. They plan to fly to height of 500m and land again... getting the required permissions was ONE of the reasons why this test was delayed, had asked team this at BSX.

Found in an old book, no clue what satellite this is. Book title is 'Exploration of the Universe' by Abell Morrison Wolfe, but it does not even leave our solar system, let alone the galaxy!

Fascinating news from Hampi. ASI has unearthed a rare paired Vishnu and Shiva temple complex in the dvikuta (twin sanctum) style near the Lotus Mahal. A major temple discovery after years. hospet.online/paired-vishnu-…

Bihar में आसमान से गिरा रहस्यमयी डिवाइस, लोगों के उड़े होश! बिहार के समस्तीपुर में आसमान से एक रहस्यमयी उपकरण गिरने के बाद गांव में हलचल मच गई. विभूतिपुर के बेलसंडी डीह गांव में मिले इस यंत्र पर ‘Made in Korea’ लिखा था और उसमें एलईडी बल्ब जल रहा था. साथ में पैराशूट जैसी लंबी डोर भी बंधी थी. ग्रामीणों ने जासूसी की आशंका जताते हुए पुलिस को सूचना दी. शुरुआती जांच में मौसम संबंधी उपकरण होने की संभावना जताई गई है, लेकिन इसकी पुष्टि नहीं हुई है. #BiharNews #Samastipur #MysteriousDevice #MadeInKorea #BiharPolice #ATDigital
