Poucos sabem mas esse motor da NASA não queima combustível como os normais. Ele funciona por detonação rotatória, ou seja, uma sequência de explosões supersônicas contínuas que giram em círculos. Isso gera muito mais empuxo gastando uma fração do combustível tradicional.

Best part of Astronomy is that if you are patient enough you can see the planets move - over time. I caught Mars rotate (over a few days), Io revolve around Jupiter (over few hours) and Saturn change its orientation (over 6 years). And if you are patient enough if you can see nebulas expand and stars move.

On this #NationalTechnologyDay, we celebrate India’s remarkable journey of scientific prowess and self-reliance. From the historic Pokhran-II nuclear tests in 1998 to groundbreaking advancements in indigenous cutting-edge defence technology—like advanced missile systems, next-gen fighter jets, and space-based surveillance—India stands tall as a global innovation leader. 🇮🇳🚀 #NationalTechnologyDay #MakeInIndia #AtmanirbharBharat #DefenceTech #InnovationIndia #IndiaTech

Watching Earth from orbit is perhaps the most cherished ritual among astronauts. No matter how many times you witness it, or how long you spend looking out the window, the view never becomes ordinary. Each pass feels new. Sometimes the planet has changed, sometimes the weather or the light has transformed the scene, and sometimes it is the person looking back at Earth who has changed. Watch as the Sun slips beyond the horizon and night slowly embraces our planet. This is beauty in its purest form. This is home. #shux #space #shubhanshushukla #india #axiom4

Lithium instead of kerosene NASA tested a next-generation electric engine that runs on lithium metal vapor and could form the basis of a propulsion system for manned missions to Mars. During tests, the system achieved a power output of 120 kilowatts—a new record for the US and approximately 25 times greater than the engines on the Psyche spacecraft, the most powerful electric engines ever launched into space. Electric propulsion works fundamentally differently than chemical propulsion. Acceleration builds slowly but continuously—the engine can run for months without stopping. After a week of this acceleration, the spacecraft's speed exceeds 400,000 km/h. Most importantly, fuel savings reach 90% compared to conventional rockets. This is significant for a mission lasting approximately two and a half years. That's how long NASA estimates a manned mission to Mars will take: 6-9 months there, about 18 months on the surface (until the return launch window opens—it happens every two years), and another 6-9 months back home. The engines must withstand over 23,000 hours of operation at temperatures above 2800°C. This threshold was exceeded during testing. This is, of course, a long way from a real mission. Sending a crew would require between 2 and 4 megawatts of power—that is, several such engines firing simultaneously.

Not science fiction, science fact! 🔬 Researchers are exploring an idea to use engineered bacteria to clean Martian water, turning contaminants into consumables. This concept could one day help us produce valuable resources for explorers on the Red Planet. Explore more: go.nasa.gov/42Nmmuk

@PixxelSpace has announced that they have been awarded a contract by the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) under the Strategic Commercial Enhancements Commercial Solutions Opening. As part of the contract, they will use their Firefly constellation to demonstrate how hyperspectral imagery can provide spectral insight into materials, conditions, and activities that conventional imaging cannot reveal. Huge congratulations to Pixxel and @awaisahmedna.

For Chanakya University, it is a proud moment in the Space journey of Bharat. Chanakya Satellite Ground Station has successfully tracked @GalaxEye Space's newly launched Drishti satellite and captured telemetry from this groundbreaking OptoSAR satellite. We have successfully streamed it in real-time to the GalaxEye team, thus actively bridging the gap between academic capability and private space enterprise. Excellent work by everyone involved! #ChanakyaUni #SomanathSpeak #GalexEye

We are excited to announce that Sarvam is partnering with @PixxelSpace to power the AI backbone of India's first orbital data centre satellite. This is a first for the country, with India-built AI models running on an India-built satellite and both training and inference happening directly in orbit, without any dependence on foreign cloud or ground infrastructure.

RTI updates on @isro FAC findings: The GSAT-6A failure has been traced to arcing in the harness, likely triggered by a Micrometeoroid and Orbital Debris (MMOD) strike that disabled the power bus. Regarding launch vehicles, critical HPS3 motor modifications recommended by the PSLV-C62 Failure Analysis Committee (FAC) will be applied to the SSLV’s SS2 stage, as the hardware is identical. Additionally, an update was provided on the overall health of the NavIC constellation. #NavIC #PSLVC61 #PSLVC62 Media & Reporting Credit: Please attribute to @ispaceflight_in" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">indianspaceflight.in/@ispaceflight_… Read and download the full report: indianspaceflight.in/rti/isro-april…

#HUGE Pixxel and Sarvam are partnering to build India’s first orbital data center. Indian AI models on an Indian satellite to serve India! They are planning to launch a demonstrator satellite as early as Q4 2026. The 200 kg satellite will carry a data center–class GPU, enabling real-time inference on Pixxel’s hyperspectral imagery. This is a big deal, as it will help establish sovereign orbital AI data centers, thereby reducing dependence on foreign infrastructure. Let's Go! @PixxelSpace @SarvamAI
