The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) will launch the BlueBird Block-2 communications satellite for US company AST SpaceMobile today using its heavy-lift Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM3). Weighing 6,100 kg, it will be the heaviest payload ever placed in low Earth orbit by the LVM3. The mission marks a milestone in Isro's commercial space efforts.
Il satellite NISAR della NASA e dell'ISRO ha rilevato un abbassamento del suolo superiore a 2 centimetri al mese in alcune zone di Città del Messico tra ottobre 2025 e gennaio 2026. Il fenomeno deriva principalmente dal sovrasfruttamento delle falde acquifere nell'ex letto del lago di Texcoco. La tecnologia InSAR consente un monitoraggio preciso dallo spazio.

NASA's Van Allen Probe A satellite, launched in 2012 to study Earth's radiation belts, is set to reenter the atmosphere early this week after running out of fuel in 2019. The agency has approved a safety waiver due to the reentry's risk exceeding government standards, though the chance of harm remains low at 1 in 4,200. Most of the 1,323-pound spacecraft will burn up, with some debris potentially reaching the surface.
