Sansha Yongle Blue Hole Reveals Complex Ocean History

Image
  at certain depths. This uneven morphology reflects gradual formation over time rather than a single collapse event. Reef limestone dominates the walls, shaped by long-term erosion and sea-level change. Advanced Mapping and Measurement Early measurement attempts were hindered by the hole’s twisting interior. Navigation systems struggled with angled walls and shifting passages. In 2017, researchers deployed a high-grade remotely operated vehicle fitted with precise positioning tools. The mission produced the first full three-dimensional map. Multiple instruments were cross-checked to ensure accuracy. The final confirmed depth was recorded at 301.19 metres with minimal uncertainty. The mapping process took longer than expected due to the hole’s complex geometry. Geological Clues from Stone Ledges Rock formations inside the hole reveal signs of earlier shorelines. Step-like ledges align with periods when global sea levels were lower during colder climatic phases. These features sugg...

SpaceX to Launch Falcon 9 With 25 Starlink Satellites

Image
  US space company SpaceX is set to conduct another Starlink deployment mission with the launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from California on February 2. The mission marks a further step in the rapid expansion of SpaceX’s satellite-based internet constellation, aimed at improving global broadband coverage. Launch Site and Mission Profile The Falcon 9 rocket will lift off from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base, a facility frequently used for polar and sun-synchronous orbit missions. The rocket will carry 25 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit. The launch window opens at 12:17 pm EST on February 2 and extends until 4:15 pm EST, corresponding to 8:47 pm IST on February 2 to 12:47 am IST on February 3. Reusable Booster and Landing Plan The mission will use a highly flight-proven first-stage booster, which will be making its 31st flight. After stage separation, the booster is expected to return for a controlled landing on the droneship “Of Course I Still Love You” ...

PSLV-C62 and the Bigger Picture: Why India’s Space Power Is Falling Behind

Image
  The failure of the PSLV-C62 mission is not merely a setback for a launch vehicle or for the Indian Space Research Organisation. It is a warning signal about deeper, structural weaknesses in India’s space ecosystem at a time when space has become central not just to economic growth, but to military power and strategic autonomy. As space increasingly shapes outcomes across land, sea, air, cyber and information domains, India’s relative slippage carries consequences far beyond prestige. Five failures in seven years — but the real concern lies elsewhere This is the fifth ISRO failure in the past seven years. While launch failures occur even in the most advanced space programmes, what distinguishes India’s case is the broader stagnation visible across the space value chain. Despite being the world’s fourth-largest economy, India is losing ground to established space powers — the US, China, Russia, the EU and Japan — across all three segments of space activity: upstream (satellite cons...

AstraZeneca and Sun Pharma Partner to Market Hyperkalaemia Drug

Image
  AstraZeneca Pharma India and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries have formed a new partnership to expand access to Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (SZC), a key therapy for managing hyperkalaemia in patients with chronic kidney disease and heart failure. The collaboration aims to increase nationwide availability through dual-brand marketing. Dual-Brand Strategy to Expand Market Reach Under the agreement, both companies will promote and distribute SZC independently. AstraZeneca will market the drug under the brand Lokelma, while Sun Pharma will introduce it as Gimliand. This dual-brand model is expected to strengthen penetration across diverse healthcare settings without altering AstraZeneca’s ownership of the molecule. Intellectual Property and Regulatory Control Retained AstraZeneca will continue to hold intellectual property rights, marketing authorisation and the import licence for SZC in India. The company emphasised that the partnership would help scale up access to an essential the...
