Tech innovations in AI and robotics pave way for sustainable future, says former ISRO scientist
Technological innovations, especially in AI and robotics, are poised to redefine the fundamentals of economic competitiveness and environmental stewardship, paving the way for a sustainable future, said A. Sivathanu Pillai, former Chief Controller (R&D), ISRO, and founder-CEO of BrahMos Aerospace. Delivering the 12th Dr. V. Bhujanga Rao Endowment Lecture at GITAM Deemed to be University on Tuesday, Mr. Pillai spoke on the theme 'Building a Sustainable Future Integrated with National Vision.' The lecture was jointly organised by the university's School of Technology and the Condition Monitoring Society of India (CMSI). He highlighted India's advancements in nuclear energy, space research, defence technologies, renewable energy, and net-zero initiatives. He stressed that sustainable development should aim to build a happy and healthy society, ensure economic resilience, and strengthen national security. Mr. Pillai underlined the transformative potential of industrial, humanoid, and space robotics in sectors such as agriculture and healthcare. Noting that India's youth, over 800 million strong, can be a powerful force when equipped with the right skills and involved in nation-building projects, he called for innovation-driven engagement. Operation Sindoor Citing the success of the Indo-Russian BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, which has been deployed from land, sea, and air platforms, he said the project exemplifies effective international collaboration and public-private partnership. He pointed to its role in Operation Sindoor as an example of indigenous technological excellence attracting global attention. Encouraging the younger generation to think big, he envisioned future innovations such as reusable and mind-operated cruise missiles. Condition monitoring V. Bhujanga Rao, Chairman of KIMS Foundation and former Director General of DRDO, spoke on the rising importance of condition monitoring in industry. He explained how AI and data analytics are transforming the field by enabling faster, more accurate, and predictive decision-making. CMSI president and NSTL scientist P.V.S. Ganesh Kumar projected that the global condition monitoring market, valued at USD 4.38 billion in 2024, is expected to nearly double to USD 8.85 billion by 2034, highlighting its growing industrial relevance.

ISRO Gears Up For Earth Observation Satellite NISAR's Launch As Countdown Begins
Last Updated: The NISAR satellite will launch from Sriharikota on July 30, to provide high-resolution Earth imaging for monitoring natural disasters and ecosystem changes. In a significant step for global Earth observation, the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite will lift-off from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Praesh's Sriharikota on July 30. This groundbreaking mission will provide unprecedented insights into Earth's dynamic systems, including natural disasters, ice sheet movement, ecosystem changes, and agricultural patterns. Jointly developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the US's National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the satellite will also provide high-resolution, all-weather, day-and-night imaging of Earth. NISAR satellite will launch aboard India's GSLV-F16 rocket at 5.40pm on Wednesday. The countdown has begun for the much-awaited launch, ISRO said in a post on X. '…1 Day to Launch. GSLV-F16 is ready to carry NISAR into orbit. Final prep underway. Launch countdown has commenced at 14:10 hours today. 🗓️ July 30, 2025 Live from: 17:10 Hours IST Liftoff at : 17:40 Hours IST (sic), ISRO tweeted on Tuesday. The 2393-kg satellite developed at a cost of $1.5 billion, marks the culmination of a decade of hard-work by scientists from NASA and ISRO who persevered through the pandemic to bring the mission to fruition. One of the biggest Indo-US satellite missions, NISAR will scan nearly all the Earth's land and ice surfaces twice every 12 days, observing changes as small as a centimeter with high-resolution imagery, collecting earth observation like no other NASA satellite before it. The satellite worth $1.5 billion with NASA accounting for roughly $1.2 billion is one of the most expensive earth-imaging satellites ever built. While NASA has contributed the L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar – a high-rate telecommunication subsystem, GPS receivers and a deployable 12-meter unfurlable antenna. ISRO, on its part has provided the S-band SAR payload, the spacecraft bus to accommodate both payloads, the GSLV rocket and all associated launch services. With launch preparations underway, the mission is expected to benefit not just India and the United States, but also support global decision-making and enhance emergency response efforts worldwide. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Nisar GSLV-F16 mission: When and how to watch joint Nasa-Isro mission launch
The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) is all set to launch the ambitious Nasa Isro Synthetic Aperture Radar (Nisar) Mission to over a period of nearly 10 years, the $1.5 billion mission is one of the most expensive developed jointly by the two space agencies. Nisar mission's primary objectives are to study land & ice deformation, land ecosystems, and oceanic regions in areas of common interest to the US and Indian science S-band radar system, data handling system, high-speed downlink system, the spacecraft, and the launch vehicle have been developed by Isro. Nasa has contributed the L-band radar system, an additional high-speed downlink system, a solid-state recorder, a GPS receiver, and a 9-meter boom that supports the 12-meter radar reflector. Isro is responsible for satellite commanding and operations, while Nasa will provide the orbit manoeuvre plan and the radar operations WILL NISAR LAUNCH?The Nisar mission will lift-off aboard Isro's Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle-Mk II (GSLV-Mk II) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in launch is scheduled for July 30 at 5:40 pm the lift-off the satellite will be deployed into space aftere 18 minutes of flight. Nasa has contributed the L-band radar system, an additional high-speed downlink system. (Photo: Nasa) The unique dual-band SAR employs advanced, novel SweepSAR technique, which provides high resolution and large swath imagery. NISAR will image the global land and ice-covered surfaces, including islands, sea-ice and selected oceans every 12 TO WATCH NISAR LAUNCH?India Today Science will bring you all the updates of the launch LIVE from Indian space agency, Isro, and the American space agency Nasa will live stream the launch. You can watch it here. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEPLOYMENT? The NISAR mission will progress through four key phases: Launch, Deployment, Commissioning, and Science is scheduled to launch aboard the GSLV-F16 rocket on July 30, 2025, from Isro's Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The Nisar mission will lift-off aboard Isro's Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle-Mk II. (Photo: Isro) In the Deployment Phase, a 12-meter reflector will be extended 9 meters from the satellite using a complex boom designed by Nasa/JPL. The 90-day Commissioning Phase involves system checks, calibrations, and instrument Science Operations Phase will continue until the mission ends, featuring regular orbit maneuvers, instrument observations, and joint Isro-JPL coordination for calibration, validation, and science data collection.- EndsMust Watch
