According to 'TV-D1' Mission Director Sivakumar, the three components in this test - Test Vehicle rocket, Crew Escape System and Crew Module had performed perfectly in their maiden attempt
It was a Saturday Science Thriller like no other! The much-anticipated ISRO rocket launch that was originally scheduled for 8:00 am, was rescheduled twice within an hour (to 8:30 and 8:45). At 8:45 am, as people and journalists at the spaceport looked skywards, the vehicle did not lift off.
Scientists have found that humans pay less attention to their work when they think robots have already checked it.
The study simulated a scenario in which participants were tasked with checking circuit boards for defects.
Half of the study participants were told a robot called Panda had inspected the circuit boards first. They had seen and could hear the robot as they worked. Participants were then asked to rate their performance effort.
Reliable detections of Earth-sized planets in the habitable zone remain elusive in the Kepler sample, even for M dwarfs.
However, updated stellar properties from Gaia have shifted many Kepler stars to earlier spectral type classifications, with most stars (and their planets) now measured to be larger and hotter than previously believed.
Shares of cybersecurity firm Okta closed down 11.5% after the company said an unidentified hacking group had accessed files that "certain Okta customers" had uploaded to Okta's support system.
Okta said the hackers were able to access the system using a stolen credential. Okta's customer offerings, including its production service, were not impacted and are fully operational, the company said.
A professor of earth, atmospheric and planetary sciences at Purdue University was among six scientists to be the first to examine a study of samples from the asteroid Bennu retrieved through NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission.
Michelle Thompson said it was a “surreal moment” when the sample return canister was opened at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston after the sample landed on Sept. 24 in Utah.
The heart of the tech industry will soon be home to a new $2 billion research and education complex, but the focus is less to do with technology for use on Earth and more to do with everything that lies beyond our planet.
The Silicon Valley-based space science center is the brainchild of the University of California, Berkeley, which seeks to create a new place for space research, including offices, labs, classrooms and even retail space.
A new study proposes that the strange signals emitted by 55 Cancri e, the first super-Earth ever discovered, could be due to volcanic activity on the planet.
The planet’s close proximity to its parent star, with an orbit complete in just 17 hours, creates extreme conditions that have puzzled scientists for years.

Amazon is rolling out expanded robotics operations at fulfillment centers built on updated sorting machines, robotic arms, and its Roomba-like mover bots.
The new system has robots designed to work alongside humans instead of replacing them, according to Amazon. Director of robotic storage technology David Guerin says that a significant portion of its operations will use them in the next three to five years.
In the new study, published Sept. 22 in The Astronomical Journal , researchers proposed another explanation for the gravitational anomalies observed in the outer solar system — that there aren't any anomalies.
According to MOND, then, Kuiper Belt objects are actually being pulled by the rest of our galaxy, rather than by an undiscovered planet.
Russian military hackers used a vulnerability in a popular archiving tool as part of an espionage campaign that attempted to lure its targets with a fake invitation to a Ukrainian drone warfare school, researchers with Google’s Threat Analysis Group said Wednesday .
The phony invitation was just one example of several state-backed hacking groups exploiting a known vulnerability in WinRAR. The researchers also saw the notorious Chinese hacking group known as APT40 use the vulnerability as part of a phishing campaign targeting Papua New Guinea.
A new campus, called Berkeley Space Center, aims to offer lab, office, and educational spaces along with student and faculty housing, a conference center, and retail space on 36 acres within the NASA Research Park at the agency's Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley.
The University of California Berkeley and San Francisco-based developer SKS Partners proposed the new campus and innovation hub for research and advancements in astronautics, aeronautics, quantum computing, climate studies, social sciences, and more during an event Monday at NASA Ames.
With all of these efforts underway, it makes us particularly proud to share that we have just launched a new robotic system in time to help fulfill customer orders for holiday shopping this year.
By reimagining how we store and manage inventory at our sites, Sequoia will help us delight customers with greater speed and increased accuracy for delivery estimates, while also improving employee safety at our facilities.
Pro-Russian hacking groups have exploited a recently disclosed security vulnerability in the WinRAR archiving utility as part of a phishing campaign designed to harvest credentials from compromised systems.
"The attack involves the use of malicious archive files that exploit the recently discovered vulnerability affecting the WinRAR compression software versions prior to 6.23 and traced as CVE-2023-38831," Cluster25 said in a report published last week.
UC Berkeley is unveiling a giant $2 billion space research complex in Stanford University's backyard near the NASA Ames Research Center that could cement California's primacy in space technology. This rendering shows what the center may look like.
The Ames Aeronautical Laboratory at Moffett Field was established in 1939. It was home to test flights for cutting-edge aeronautics technology during World War II. Here, the Macon dirigible flies over the South Bay with Hangar One at Moffett Field in view on the right.
The weather everyone was hoping for to view the partial solar annular eclipse Saturday morning in Topeka wasn't ideal, but eager sky gazers still had something to look at.
Dozens showed up outside of Washburn University's Stoffer Science Hall for a viewing event with hopes of catching a glimpse of the annual phenomenon.
The afterglow of a massive collision between two giant planets may have been detected for the first time.
The wreckage of the collision could eventually cool and form an entirely new planet. If the observation is confirmed, it provides an amazing opportunity to watch the birth of a new world in real time and open a window into how planets form.

In its founding statutes, NASA is expected to tell the public about its inventions and discoveries. Daring exploits, strange sights, and exotic places have an attraction that predate NASA by thousands of years, but the wonders that NASA can tell are often hard to understand.

OVER the past decade, spacecraft have beamed back reports from some truly awe-inspiring destinations within our solar system. Rovers have revealed vast river channels carved by ancient floods on Mars.
Let’s imagine that we could roam across the Milky Way on a sightseeing trip like no other. Where would I take you? Well, supermassive black holes, strange, pulsating stars and exotic Earth-like worlds are on the itinerary for starters.
Artificial intelligence can design an autonomous robot in 30 seconds flat on a laptop or smartphone.
It’s not quite time to panic about just anybody being able to create the Terminator while waiting at the bus stop: as reported in a recent study, the robots are simple machines that scoot along in straight lines without doing more complex tasks.
More than 500 free-floating planetary-mass objects have been discovered wandering through the Orion Nebula thanks to new observations by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
Free-floating planetary-mass objects that do not orbit a star have been discovered in star-forming regions before, but never in the numbers seen by the JWST's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). These objects are visible because they are still young and glowing with the heat of their formation.
All seven planets are rocky worlds, ranging from about the size of Mars to a little larger than Earth .
Three or four of them reside within their star's habitable zone, meaning they orbit at the right distance to support liquid water on their surfaces.
A team of researchers in the United States has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) programme that can design robots from scratch in seconds.
This is a leap in the development of AI as it presents innovative ideas, unlike the existing tools that only mimic humans' past works without an ability to generate new ideas.
