For decades, space battles have belonged to the world of Star Wars and science fiction. But as more satellites fill Earth's orbit, military powers are now preparing for a future where satellites may have to track, approach and respond to rival spacecraft in orbit.

Portronics has launched the CineArc 5.1-channel home theatre system with 200W sound output, Bluetooth 5.4, HDMI ARC, wired subwoofer, multiple EQ modes, and wired satellite speakers.

A five-month-old Los Angeles startup called Orbital has asked American regulators for permission to do something that sounds almost implausible: launch up to 100,000 satellites into space, each one functioning as a data centre powering artificial intelligence. According to SpaceNews' reporting on the filing, the company submitted its application to the Federal Communications Commission on June 24, 2026, aiming to bring 10 gigawatts of computing power from space to meet rising demand for artificial intelligence.

For most people, asteroids are distant objects that remain hidden behind telescope lenses and scientific instruments. That will briefly change in April 2029, when one of the best-known near-Earth asteroids is expected to become visible without specialist equipment across large parts of the world.

Spaceflight has carried everything from satellites and scientific instruments to memorial capsules and plant seeds beyond Earth's atmosphere. Soon, another unusual payload will join that list.

BENGALURU: Space startup GalaxEye has lost contact with its maiden Earth observation satellite, Mission Drishti, with the company saying the likelihood of recovering the spacecraft is now low.

Artificial intelligence is driving an unprecedented surge in demand for computing power. Still, the data centres behind today's most advanced AI models face a growing challenge: keeping millions of processors cool without consuming vast amounts of energy and water.

Every plant alive today, from the tallest rainforest tree to the smallest patch of moss, will eventually disappear, but a new scientific study suggests that moment is much further away than most previous research believed. Researchers Jacob Haqq-Misra of the Blue Marble Space Institute of Science and Eric Wolf of the University of Colorado Boulder have calculated that Earth's vegetative biosphere could continue supporting plant life for roughly another 1.8 to 1.87 billion years, considerably longer than earlier estimates that put the number closer to 0.9 to 1.5 billion years.

The image, released by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), shows asteroid Torifune, a roughly 450-metre-wide space rock that resembles two smaller asteroids joined together.

Mission Drishti validated key technologies and processes for designing, building, launching, and operating advanced space systems over a few weeks.
