Chhagan Bhujbal inaugurates Atal Tinkering Laboratory in Nashik
Nashik, July 21 (UNI) Maharashtra Food, Civil Supplies Minister Chhagan Bhujbal today inaugurated Interactive Panel Board, AI (Artificial Intelligence) Course and Atal Tinkering Laboratory at Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil Vidyalaya and Junior College at Vinchur in Niphad taluka of the district.
Speaking on the occasion, he said that the main objective of starting Atal Tinkering Lab at the school-level under the government's Atal Innovation Mission is to increase curiosity and experimentation among students.
Through Atal Tinkering Lab, the attraction of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, teaching through hands-on experiments, creating your own models, and implementing ideas will be made available, he informed.
As a result, students in rural areas will have access to modern facilities, equipment and computer knowledge like in the city, the minister said.
Innovators, startup entrepreneurs, data scientists, and robotics engineers of tomorrow will be trained here, he said.
Highlighting the role of teachers in shaping students, Bhujbal urged them to strive to make students aware of new technologies.

Jio platforms deploy 10 active network slices to boost performance
Business Economy New Delhi, July 28 (UNI) Aayush Bhatnagar (chief technology development officer, Jio Platforms Limited) announced on his LinkedIn post that Jio Platforms Limited (JPL) deployed 10 active network slices on its 5G network. Bhatnagar posted ' Network slicing is no longer just a concept – it's live nationwide, powering real-world applications.' 'With Jio platforms' robust 5G SA(Standalone) Core and Network Slicing Platform (NSP), now 10 active networks are in production, optimized for scale, performance, and reliability,' Bhatnagar added in his LinkedIn post. The post also stated that these network slices are purpose-driven and specially designed for the industries, including Internet of Things (IoT), gaming, Airfiber (Fixed Wireless Access), and mission-critical services. Bhatnagar stressed the capabilities of network slices and stated in his post about the capabilities. He highlighted that every slice is carrying real-world traffic, and these are powered up by the Jio Network Slicing Platform. Network slicing refers to the fundamental capability powered by 5G SA architecture. It allows service providers to build end-to-end networks fulfilling specific requirements. UNI SAS PRS

INDO-US satellite NISAR will start scientific operations after 90 days
Chennai, July 28 (UNI): The highly anticipated NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite, a collaborative Earth observation mission between the United States and India, is slated for launch on July 30 at 5:40 pm IST. The 2,400 kg satellite will be carried into orbit by ISRO's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-F16 (GSLV-F16) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. However, ISRO has clarified that while the launch is imminent, NISAR's dedicated scientific operations will not begin until approximately three months after it is successfully placed in orbit. This initial period will be critical for preparing the advanced observatory. According to ISRO, the NISAR mission is structured into distinct phases. Following the Launch Phase on July 30, the satellite will enter its Deployment Phase. This crucial stage involves the complex in-orbit unfurling of NISAR's 12-meter diameter reflector, a key component developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which will extend 9 meters away from the satellite. Subsequently, the mission will enter a 90-day Commissioning Phase, also known as "In-Orbit Checkout (IOC)." This period is solely dedicated to meticulously preparing the observatory for its scientific tasks. It will involve initial checks and calibrations of the satellite's core systems, followed by a thorough engineering checkout of the payload and instruments by JPL. Only after the successful completion of this commissioning phase will the Science Operations Phase commence, extending for the duration of the mission's life. During this phase, NISAR's science orbit will be precisely maintained through regular maneuvers, strategically planned to minimize interference with scientific observations. Extensive calibration and validation (CalVal) activities will also be ongoing. The detailed observation plan for both the L-band and S-band instruments, along with all necessary engineering activities, are being meticulously generated prior to launch through continuous coordination between JPL and ISRO. NISAR is poised to be a groundbreaking mission, providing unprecedented, high-resolution, all-weather, day-and-night data to observe Earth's changing ecosystems, dynamic surfaces, and ice masses. This data is expected to revolutionize our understanding of natural hazards like earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, and landslides, as well as providing critical information for studies on climate change, agriculture, and water resources.

NISAR satellite: About 10-year labour of ISRO-NASA
Chennai, July 28 (UNI) A decade-old labour of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) gave birth to the NASA ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite. The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite, a testament to equal partnership forged on September 30, 2014, is ready for liftoff from India's Sriharikota rocket port aboard the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-F16 (GSLV-F16). The complex payloads and mainframe systems have been designed, developed, qualified and realised over a period of 8 to 10 years, said ISRO. The S-Band SAR and L-Band SAR were independently developed, integrated and tested at ISRO and Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPA), NASA respectively. The Integrated Radar Instrument Structure (IRIS), consisting of S – Band and L – Band SAR and other payload elements were integrated and tested at JPL/NASA and delivered to ISRO. Mainframe satellite elements and payloads were assembled, integrated and tested at ISROs U R Rao Satellite Centre, Bengaluru. The spacecraft is built around ISRO's I-3K Structure. It carries two major Payloads viz., L & S- Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR).The S-band Radar system, data handling & high- speed downlink system, the spacecraft and the launch system are developed by ISRO. The L-band Radar system, high speed downlink system, the Solid-State Recorder, GPS receiver, the 9m Boom hoisting the 12m reflector are delivered by NASA. Further, ISRO takes care of the satellite commanding and operations, while NASA will provide the orbit maneuver plan and Radar operations plan. NISAR mission will be aided with ground station support of both ISRO and NASA for downloading of the acquired images, which after the necessary processing will be disseminated to the user community. The data acquired through S-band and L-band SAR from a single platform will help the scientists to understand the changes happening to Planet Earth. The about 10-year labour is slated to be delivered by an Indian rocket Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-F16 (GSLV-F16) on July 30, 2025 evening from India's Sriharikota rocket port.
