ISRO-NASA launch NISAR to scan earth's surface twice every 12 days
In the works for over a decade, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) launched their first joint weather satellite on Wednesday at 5:40 pm from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) will track movements in polar ice, forest biomass, wetlands, and changes in the earth's crust. The data generated from the satellite will be made freely available to researchers and governments worldwide, making it a global asset for climate research, disaster response, and natural resource management. This is the first such collaboration between the two space agencies. The NISAR satellite will orbit earth for at least three years, using its sophisticated radar systems to scan nearly all of the planet's land and ice surfaces twice every 12 days.'Separation confirmed. Each stage, precisely. Cryo ignition and Cryo stage performance flawless. GSLV-F16 delivered NISAR to orbit,' ISRO said in a statement post the satellite has been developed at $1.5 billion, making it one of the most expensive weather satellites and an Indo-US space collaboration. It is also the world's first radar imaging satellite to use both NASA-developed L-band and ISRO's S-band SAR technology, allowing for high-resolution monitoring of land and surface changes. 'It will support monitoring of infrastructure, such as dams, bridges, and roadways. The satellite's cloud-penetrating ability will help urgent-response communities during weather disasters such as hurricanes, storm surges, and floods,' NASA US agency has contributed the L-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), a high-rate telecommunication subsystem, GPS receivers, and a deployable 12-metre unfurlable antenna. ISRO, on its part, has provided the S-band SAR payload, the spacecraft bus to accommodate both payloads, the GSLV-F16 launch vehicle, and all associated launch satellite's data will also be used for sea ice classification, ship detection, shoreline monitoring, storm tracking, crop mapping, and changes in soil moisture. NISAR will take about 90 days to start capturing data and sending it back to ground stations. 'While this mission was primarily led by national agencies, it paves the way for the dynamic Indian private space sector to actively contribute to such cutting-edge collaborations in the near future,' said Lt Gen AK Bhatt (retd), director general, Indian Space Association (ISpA). He added that this is a landmark mission in international cross-border space collaboration, showcasing the strength of ISRO and NASA's scientific partnership in advancing earth observation. Weighing 2,392 kg, NISAR features NASA's 12 m unfurlable mesh reflector antenna, integrated with ISRO's modified I3K satellite bus. Union science and technology minister Jitendra Singh said the satellite is a game-changer in the precise management of disasters like cyclones and floods. 'The inputs from NISAR will benefit the entire world community, in the true spirit of 'Vishwabandhu,' he wrote on X.

I test pillows for a living — the 3 Tempur-Pedic Prime Day deals I'd snap up before the sale ends tonight
Luxury sleep brand Tempur-Pedic is loved among sleepers with aches and pains because of its pressure relieving mattresses and pillows crafted from NASA-developed Tempur foam. It's not often you see Tempur-Pedic pillows on sale, but this Prime Day there are three brilliant offers to pick from with up to 57% off select Tempur-Pedic pillows at Amazon. Prices start from just over $50. Each Tempur-Pedic pillow is specifically designed for a certain sleeping style or to target particular concerns. The Tempur-Cloud, for instance, is the best pillow we've tested this year stomach sleepers thanks to its thinner build and ultra soft feel. This is key to preventing your neck from moving forwards while you sleep on your front. All Tempur-Pedic pillows sold at Amazon also come with a 5-year warranty and free shipping. For more pillows, bed sheets and weighted blanket offers see our Amazon Prime day bedding deals round-up. For now, let's take a closer look at these Tempur-Pedic Prime Day pillow deals... 1. Tempur-Neck Pillow: small from $99 from $72.14 at Amazon Looking for a pillow to sooth aches and pains in your neck? The extra-firm Tempur-Neck Pillow is ideal. The biggest advantage is the ergonomic design which follows the natural curve of your neck while sleeping on your side or your back, which in turn prevents muscle strain even when you toss and turn in your sleep (read my full Tempur-Neck Pillow review for more details). The knit polyester cover is hypoallergenic and machine washable. The pillow is available in three sizes: small, medium and large. The small Tempur-Neck is now 27% off, but the large size pillow is cheaper at $58.99 (was $99) in the Prime Day sale. Our review: ★★★★½User score: ★★★★ ( based on over 5K+ reviews) 2. Tempur-Cloud Pillow: queen from $89 from $50.35 at AmazonThis is Tempur-Pedic's best-selling pillow for stomach and back sleepers. It includes a single ultra-soft Tempur foam material which provides adaptive comfort for your neck, head and shoulders. Just like how the best mattresses for stomach sleepers delivers the right support to minimize risks in this sleeping position, the Tempur-Cloud too is conforming enough to have a restful night's sleep on your stomach without aches or pains. This has been tried and approved by our stomach-sleeping tester in our Tempur-Cloud review. A standard Tempur-Cloud pillow is now at the lowest price we've ever spotted with a 43% off, reducing the price from $50.35 (was $89). Our review: ★★★★User score: ★★★★ (based on over 7K+ reviews) 3. Tempur-Cloud Dual Cooling Pillow: queen from $94 from $79.99 at AmazonStruggle with overheating or nightsweats? The Tempur-Cloud Dual Cooling pillow is the brand's offering for hot sleepers or those who reside in warmer locales. This features specialist cooling tech like in the best cooling mattresses. The medium-firm pillow includes a single block of the highly-adaptive Tempur-material with the addition of two cooling gel layers on either side which wick away excess heat, keeping you cool, fresh and dry all night. It's also encased in a 100% premium cotton knit cover that's soft, breathable and hypoallergenic. A queen Tempur-Cloud Dual Cooling Pillow is now $79.99 (was $94) while a king is on sale for $98.99 (was $229). User score: ★★★★ (based on over 4K+ reviews)

Save up to $1,019 on a Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt mattress in Prime Day beating deal
The Tempur-Adapt mattress is cushioned yet supportive, achieving the perfect comfort balance for back sleepers. Granted, it's also an investment piece but in the Tempur-Pedic sale you can save over $1,000 on the Tempur-Adapt mattress. And thanks to the unique Tempur-Pedic feel, courtesy of NASA-developed foams, we think it's worth the splurge — the Tempur-Adapt sits among the best mattresses we've tested. You'll need to head to the Tempur-Pedic closeout store for this luxury mattress discount. While the best Prime Day mattress deals include some massive savings on a variety of beds, it's not the only place to find a sale today. But if you want Tempur-Pedic comfort for less, the Tempur-Cloud pillow is currently one of our top Prime Day bedding deals choices... Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt Mattress: twin long was $1,699 now $1,189.30 at Tempur-PedicTempur-Pedic claims the Tempur-Adapt mattress offers 'legendary' pressure relief and while that's a bold claim, our experienced testing team found it fitting. This cushioning is paired with a supportive base to keep the spine lifted; the lead tester in our Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt mattress review often experiences back pain during the night but that wasn't an issue on this mattress. We think it's one of the best memory foam mattresses you can buy online, particularly for back sleepers and those with joint pain. 30% off is an unusually big saving on this premium mattress, reducing a queen to $1,539.30 (was $2,199) — if you're after a luxury bed, you won't find a better deal in the Prime Day sleep deals. The Tempur-Adapt's biggest fault is a tendency to trap heat so if you sleep warm, consider upgrading to the Tempur-Breeze collection. Our review: ★★★★½ User score: ★★★★½ (11,000+ reviews) Tempur-Pedic frequently updates its mattress line-up and when a model is no longer manufactured, it's often placed in a closeout sale to clear old stock. The biggest advantage of a closeout sale is the price drop. There's up to $1,019 off the Tempur-Adapt closeout model, which is a significantly bigger saving than the standard Tempur-Pedic mattress sale. If you want the Tempur-Pedic feel but don't have the Tempur-Pedic budget, this is a fantastic deal. But closeout sales do have some disadvantages, primarily, the extras... or lack thereof. Tempur-Pedic offers a 90-night trial with standard mattresses but if you opt for the closeout model, all sales are final (although a 10-year warranty is included, in case of fault.) Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress: twin was $549 now $467 at NectarLike the Tempur-Adapt, the Nectar Premier is a stand-out performer when it comes to pressure relief, with a cozy, cushioned feel we think places it among the best mattresses for side sleepers. It doesn't quite compare to the Tempur-Adapt when it comes to support but our Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress review team agreed this is a good choice for anyone with achy joints. In a surprise Nectar mattress sale you can save an extra 15% on the Nectar Premier, reducing a queen to just $807 (usually sold at $949.) And in one area it blows the Tempur-Pedic out of the water: extras. Nectar offers a 365-night trial and lifetime warranty. Our review: ★★★★½ User score: ★★★★½ (7,300+ reviews)
