ISRO Reports Loss of India’s EOS-09 Satellite Due to Third Stage Launch Anomaly
India’s launch of the EOS-09 Earth observation satellite faced a setback when the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) reported a critical anomaly during the third stage of the PSLV-C61 rocket, which launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The mission failed after performing normally through the second stage. The EOS-09, weighing 3,735 pounds and equipped with synthetic aperture radar technology for all-weather imaging, was crucial for monitoring India’s borders amid ongoing tensions with China and Pakistan. This marks only the third failure in the PSLV’s 32-year history, underscoring the challenges of satellite launches and ISRO’s commitment to advancing its capabilities.
China Halts Crucial Mineral Exports to US Amid Intensifying Tech Trade War
China’s recent ban on exporting critical minerals gallium and germanium has heightened tensions with the U.S., complicating access to essential components for technology sectors, including military and renewable energy. With China supplying 98% of gallium and 91% of germanium globally, the U.S. faces significant economic risks, including a potential $3.4 billion GDP loss. The ban follows U.S. restrictions on semiconductor exports to China. To mitigate impacts, the U.S. may explore domestic mining, international partnerships, refining investments, and enhanced recycling. This situation underscores the fragility of global supply chains and the need for the U.S. to increase self-sufficiency in critical materials.
Blue Ghost Lunar Lander Successfully Touches Down on Moon, Carrying NASA Experiments
