अमेरिका-ईरान तनाव के बीच Air India का बड़ा फैसला
अमेरिका और ईरान के बीच तनाव लगातार बढ़ता जा रहा है। इसका असर अब दिखना भी शुरू हो गया है। ईरान ने अमेरिका का ड्रोन मार गिराया अब दोनों देशों के बीच तल्खी काफी बढ़ती जा रही है। इस बीच एयर इंडिया ने भी अपने विमानों को ईरान के एयरस्पेस में न भेजने का फैसला किया है। एयर इंडिया के सीएमडी अश्वनी लोहानी ने ईरान के एयरस्पेस से विमानों के न गुजरने पर कहा, 'एयर इंडिया की उड़ानों पर इसका कोई खास प्रभाव नहीं है। हालांकि आने वाले विमानों का रूट फिर से तय करने पर काम किया जा रहा है।'

इस खास कदम से दोगुनी होगी किसानों की आय
अगले तीन साल की अवधि के भीतर किसानों के आय को दोगुना करने के क्रम में कृषि व किसान कल्याण मंत्रालय ने ग्रामीण भारत में डिजिटल टेक्नोलॉजी का इस्तेमाल करने का निर्णय लिया है। डिजिटल टेक्नोलॉजी के जरिए भारत के गांवों में कृषि संबंधित गतिविधियों का आधुनिकीकरण कर व्यवस्थित करने की योजना बनाई गई है।

Pakistan must implement FATF action plan
India on 22 June 2019 emphasised that Pakistan needs to take all necessary steps to fully implement the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) action plan by the October deadline. Pakistan, however, claimed that India was politicising the process for its “narrow” objectives. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in a statement that India expects Pakistan to take credible and verifiable steps against terrorism and terrorist finances.

New NASA missions to study Sun
NASA will launch two new missions to advance our understanding of the Sun and its dynamic effects on space weather, the US space agency said. One of the selected missions will study how the Sun drives particles and energy into the solar system and a second will study Earth’s response, NASA said.

The Central Asian nodes in BRI
Ahead of the recently concluded summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), Chinese state media provided extensive coverage of Beijing’s recent forays into Central Asia, including into Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. On its website, the state-run Xinhua news agency splashed pictures of the Irkeshtam pass, one of China’s gateways to Kyrgyzstan, a few days before planes ferrying leaders of the eight SCO member countries, apart from observers, flew into Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan’s capital.

A sunrace of significant global missions
GS Paper - 3 (Space Technology)
In the wake of the Indian Space Research Organisation's successful launch of its inaugural solar mission, Aditya-L1,, let's embark on a journey through key missions from space agencies worldwide, all dedicated to unravelling the enigmatic secrets of the Sun.
A Sunrace
USA
US: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the US space agency, launched the Parker Solar Probe in August 2018. In December 2021, Parker flew through the Sun's upper atmosphere, the corona, and sampled particles and magnetic fields there. This was the first time ever that a spacecraft touched the Sun, according to NASA.
In February 2020, NASA joined hands with the European Space Agency (ESA) and launched The Solar Orbiter to collect data to find out how the Sun created and controlled the constantly changing space environment throughout the solar system.
Other active solar missions by NASA are Advanced Composition Explorer launched in August, 1997; Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory in October, 2006; Solar Dynamics Observatory in February, 2010; and Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph launched in June, 2013.
Also, in December, 1995, NASA, ESA and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) jointly launched the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).
Japan
JAXA, Japan's space agency, launched its first solar observation satellite, Hinotori (ASTRO-A), in 1981. The objective was to study solar flares using hard X-rays, according to JAXA. JAXA's other solar exploratory missions are Yohkoh (SOLAR-A) launched in 1991; SOHO (along with NASA and ESA) in 1995; and Transient Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE), along with NASA, in 1998.
In 2006, Hinode (SOLAR-B) was launched, which was the successor to Yohkoh (SOLAR-A), the orbiting solar observatory. Japan launched it in collaboration with the US and the UK. The objective of Hinode, an observatory satellite, is to study the impact of the Sun on the Earth.
Yohkoh's objective was to observe solar flares and the solar corona. It was the first satellite to track almost an entire 11-year solar activity cycle.
Europe
In October, 1990, the ESA launched Ulysses to study the environment of space above and below the poles of the Sun, giving scientists information about the variable effect the Sun has on the space surrounding it. Other than solar missions launched in collaboration with NASA and the JAXA, the ESA launched Proba-2 in October, 2001.
Proba-2 is the second of the Proba series, building on nearly eight years of successful Proba-1 experience, even as Proba-1 was not a solar exploratory mission. On-board Proba-2 were four experiments, two of them were solar observation experiments.
Proba stands for Project for On-Board Autonomy. Upcoming solar missions of the ESA include Proba-3, scheduled for 2024 and Smile, scheduled for 2025.
China
The Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S) was successfully launched by the National Space Science Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in October, 2022. The ASO-S mission is designed to reveal connections among the solar magnetic field, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs).
Solar flares and CMEs are eruptive solar phenomena, thought to be driven by changes in the Sun's magnetic field.
