SpaceX Starship Bursts Into Flames; Disastrous Test Caught On Cam | Watch Viral Video
Elon Musk's SpaceX faced a major setback as its Starship 36 rocket exploded during a routine static fire test at Starbase, Texas. The powerful explosion, captured in viral videos, sent massive flames and smoke into the sky. This test was part of preparations for the highly anticipated Starship Flight 10, which was scheduled for later this month. Despite the explosion, SpaceX is known for learning from such failures and improving their designs. The incident has led to the likely delay of the planned launch, as the company now faces the task of recovering and refining its spacecraft for future missions.#spacex #explosion #elonmusk #starbase #texas #starshipflight10

Infosys-backed GalaxEye plans new satellite to meet global demand for geospatial data
ETtech (L-R) Rakshit Bhatt, Suyash Singh, Denil Chawda, Kishan Thakkar, Pranit Mehta, cofounders, GalaxEye Infosys-backed space tech startup GalaxEye said it will develop another imaging satellite given the growing demand for geospatial data globally for agriculture, mining, and defence. The new satellite will have a near 0.5 metre resolution for quality insights needed in critical sectors. The Bengaluru-based startup said its first satellite, Mission Drishti, scheduled for launch later this year from SpaceX, has a resolution of 1.25 both the satellites, GalaxEye will be using its proprietary technology by combining synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and optical multi-spectral imaging (MSI), aiming to provide all-weather information. The startup said the second satellite will not only deliver improved spatial resolution but also reduce revisit time to under three days, improving the responsiveness and utility of its constellation.'The world's first SyncFusion SAR-Optical satellite, originally designed in India, will now also be fully built in-house, highlighting GalaxEye's growing manufacturing and systems integration capabilities,' the startup said in a statement, adding that it will also expand its current manufacturing capabilities. IIT-Madras alumnus and CEO of the startup, Suyash Singh, said the two satellites will give a big boost to data collection and the evolving needs of defence customers. 'Our sensor stack has already been tested on over 500 aerial test flights, backed by a proprietary signal processing toolchain, the success of the POEM payload, the Drishti (1.25 m) launch, and purpose-built software to extract actionable insights,' the CEO said. Singh added that the startup will also focus on vertical integration as the clients demand more persistent eyes in the sky, expecting detailed analytics data. 'GalaxEye's vision to bring reliability and Service Level Agreements to satellite imagery—all-time, all-weather imagery—is a game changer. We've believed in their mission from the start, and with the technology now de-risked, it's time to scale,' said Vishesh Rajaram, Managing Partner at Speciale Invest, an early investor in the startup. To date, the startup has raised $22.09 million over six rounds, with Infosys owning a minority stake worth $17 crore. The firm is currently undergoing mission concept and preliminary design reviews and is strategically positioning itself to expand into high-priority international defence markets, including the United States, West Asia, and Europe.

Why some US lawmakers are asking Elon Musk's Tesla to delay robotaxi launch
Tesla's planned Robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas, may be delayed due to a request from Texas lawmakers, a report claims. A group of Texas lawmakers has reportedly sent a letter to Tesla urging the company to postpone the June 22 launch by a few months due to a new state law set to be implemented. The electric vehicle maker's CEO, Elon Musk, has been discussing a summer launch for the Austin service since last year. Last week, the tech billionaire also officially shared a June 22 launch date. Previously, Musk has described what Tesla plans to launch as "not really self-driving," but has presented this service as a milestone in autonomous driving after facing years of missed deadlines. Why Texas lawmakers want Tesla to delay robotaxi service launch In a letter (seen by KXAN), lawmakers stated that the Texas Legislature has passed an update to the state's 2017 framework for autonomous vehicle operations, with the new law set to take effect in September. The letter said: 'Under the new framework, commercial autonomous vehicle operators transporting passengers or property must receive prior authorisation from the Department of Motor Vehicles before operating on public streets without a human driver.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like USDJPY đang đi lên không? IC Markets Đăng ký Undo As per the letter, to gain authorisation, autonomous vehicle operators in Texas must prove that each vehicle: Complies with state traffic laws Has a recording device installed Meets federal motor vehicle safety standards Can reach a minimal risk condition if the system fails Is properly registered, titled, and insured under state law Additionally, operators must submit a First Responder Interaction Plan to the Department of Public Safety detailing: How first responders should interact with the vehicle How to contact fleet support and safely remove or tow the vehicle Any public safety risks or hazardous conditions linked to the vehicle 'As members of the Austin delegation in the Texas Senate and Texas House of Representatives, we are formally requesting that Tesla delay autonomous robotaxi operations until the new law takes effect on September 1, 2025. We believe this is in the best interest of both public safety and building public trust in Tesla's operations,' the letter noted. The letter stated that if Tesla continues with its planned launch this month, the company is requested to respond with detailed information demonstrating that it will be 'compliant with the new law upon the launch of driverless operations in Austin.'
