developments in space exploration and


00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:08.950
astronomical discoveries I'm Anna and


00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:10.790
today we've got a big lineup of stories


00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:13.390
from across the cosmos from India's


00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:15.270
ambitious push into commercial space


00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:17.070
flight to groundbreaking discoveries


00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:19.470
about planet destroying Stars and


00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.429
updates on both our furthest reaching


00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:24.150
space probe and newest lunar missions


00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:26.150
we'll be covering the full spectrum of


00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.230
space news that's making headlines today


00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:31.390
so let's get started with today's news


00:00:31.400 --> 00:00:33.069
India's space industry is making


00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:34.869
remarkable strides as the government


00:00:34.879 --> 00:00:36.630
pushes to establish the country as a


00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.510
leading space power at the Forefront of


00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:41.590
this expansion is industrial giant


00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.510
Larson and tubro or L&T which is


00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:46.310
breaking new ground in private space


00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:48.110
Manufacturing in a significant


00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:50.910
development L&T is currently assembling


00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.110
India's first privately built polar


00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:55.029
satellite launch vehicle at their


00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.150
facility in Southern India this


00:00:57.160 --> 00:00:59.150
Milestone project is expected to reach


00:00:59.160 --> 00:01:00.790
completion with a launch scheduled for


00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:02.790
midyear marking a crucial step in


00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:04.390
India's commercial space


00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.109
capabilities what makes this


00:01:06.119 --> 00:01:08.070
particularly exciting is how it


00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:09.910
represents a shift in India's space


00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:12.109
sector from purely government-led


00:01:12.119 --> 00:01:14.710
initiatives to increased private


00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:17.510
participation El's senior vice president


00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:20.350
Arun ramchandani emphasizes that this is


00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:21.950
part of a broader strategy to


00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:24.630
commercialize space technology aiming to


00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:26.749
provide launch services on demand to


00:01:26.759 --> 00:01:29.069
meet Market requirements the company


00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:31.310
isn't just focusing on launch Vehicles


00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:33.190
they're also manufacturing equipment for


00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:35.310
deep space exploration programs in


00:01:35.320 --> 00:01:38.190
collaboration with ISRO India's national


00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.630
space agency this partnership


00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:42.950
exemplifies the new hybrid model India


00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:45.389
is pursuing where Private Industry Works


00:01:45.399 --> 00:01:48.230
alongside government space programs the


00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:50.590
numbers behind India's space Ambitions


00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:52.870
are equally impressive the government


00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:54.630
has set an ambitious Target of growing


00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:56.469
the commercial space sector from its


00:01:56.479 --> 00:01:59.109
current value of $13 billion to a


00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:02.990
remarkable $44 billion to achieve this


00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:04.630
authorities have been actively working


00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.149
to ease regulations and attract Global


00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.630
players to participate in India's space


00:02:09.640 --> 00:02:11.990
economy this transformation of India's


00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.350
space sector represents a significant


00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.710
shift in how space exploration and


00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:18.830
commercial space activities are being


00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:20.710
approached in one of the world's fastest


00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:23.229
growing economies it's a clear signal


00:02:23.239 --> 00:02:25.350
that space is no longer the exclusive


00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.830
domain of government agencies but rather


00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.869
an emerging commercial Frontier with


00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.350
tremendous potential for growth and


00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.710
Innovation NASA's lunar Trailblazer


00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:37.110
Mission has hit a significant hurdle as


00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:38.869
controllers continue their efforts to


00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.509
reestablish Communications with the


00:02:40.519 --> 00:02:42.430
spacecraft following its launch last


00:02:42.440 --> 00:02:45.030
week the loss of contact occurred less


00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:47.869
than 12 hours after the February 26th


00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.110
launch when the spacecraft rode as a


00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.110
secondary payload alongside intuitive


00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.790
machines im2 lunar lander while the


00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.149
spacecraft's transmitter is functioning


00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.110
NASA Engineers are facing challenges es


00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.030
in obtaining full Telemetry data or


00:03:02.040 --> 00:03:04.309
sending commands the situation is


00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:05.710
particularly concerning because the


00:03:05.720 --> 00:03:07.949
spacecraft was unable to perform crucial


00:03:07.959 --> 00:03:09.670
trajectory correction Maneuvers for a


00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.789
planned lunar flyby on March 3rd which


00:03:12.799 --> 00:03:14.589
would have been the first of two flybys


00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.550
needed to achieve lunar orbit by July


00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:19.430
based on the limited data available and


00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:21.910
groundbased radar observations the


00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:23.789
spacecraft appears to be in a slow spin


00:03:23.799 --> 00:03:26.710
with power system issues however the


00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:28.949
team hasn't given up hope they're


00:03:28.959 --> 00:03:30.509
currently developing alternative


00:03:30.519 --> 00:03:32.710
trajectory correction strategies that


00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:34.390
could still allow lunar Trailblazer to


00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.429
reach lunar orbit and accomplish at


00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.550
least some of its scientific objectives


00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.030
which include studying water


00:03:40.040 --> 00:03:42.750
distribution and forms on the lunar


00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:45.110
surface this setback is particularly


00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:46.830
notable as it adds to a series of


00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:48.710
challenges faced by NASA's small


00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:50.309
Innovative missions for Planetary


00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.830
Exploration program these missions are


00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.149
designed to be highrisk high reward


00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:57.190
Ventures that enable significant science


00:03:57.200 --> 00:03:59.869
at lower costs as NASA's associate


00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:01.630
administrator for science Nikki Fox


00:04:01.640 --> 00:04:03.910
notes the mission team exemplifies


00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:05.550
NASA's Innovative spirit and


00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:07.949
determination in the face of adversity


00:04:07.959 --> 00:04:09.710
the situation with lunar Trailblazer


00:04:09.720 --> 00:04:11.229
reflects the inherent challenges of


00:04:11.239 --> 00:04:13.949
space exploration even as technology


00:04:13.959 --> 00:04:16.430
advances yet it also demonstrates the


00:04:16.440 --> 00:04:18.469
Persistence of mission teams in finding


00:04:18.479 --> 00:04:20.310
Creative Solutions to overcome


00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:22.390
unexpected obstacles in their quest to


00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:24.830
expand our understanding of the Moon and


00:04:24.840 --> 00:04:26.310
its


00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:28.830
resources this next story has been


00:04:28.840 --> 00:04:30.830
getting a fair bit of mainstream media


00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:33.430
coverage today probably because it makes


00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:36.189
for a good headline still it is an


00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:37.590
interesting story


00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.110
nonetheless in a fascinating discovery


00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:41.390
that sounds like something out of


00:04:41.400 --> 00:04:43.590
Science Fiction astronomers have


00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:45.990
identified what they're calling a Planet


00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.590
Killer a white dwarf star that appears


00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:50.710
to have torn apart a Jupiter sized


00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.749
Planet this Celestial Destroyer known as


00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:55.110
WD


00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:59.110
2226 210 is relatively close to Earth At


00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.510
just 600 50 light years away and sits at


00:05:02.520 --> 00:05:05.390
the heart of the beautiful Helix nebula


00:05:05.400 --> 00:05:07.670
the evidence for this Cosmic Destruction


00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.070
comes from peculiar x-ray signals that


00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:13.590
have puzzled scientists since 1980 using


00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.590
data from both NASA's Chandra x-ray


00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.710
Observatory and the European space


00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.150
agency's xmm Newton telescope


00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.070
researchers have finally pieced together


00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:24.189
what might have happened the scenario


00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.270
they've reconstructed is quite dramatic


00:05:26.280 --> 00:05:28.469
they believe a massive planet similar in


00:05:28.479 --> 00:05:30.790
size to Jupiter was gradually pulled


00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:32.469
closer to the white dwarf through


00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:34.150
gravitational interactions with other


00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.550
planets in the system once it came too


00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:38.469
close to the star the white dwarf's


00:05:38.479 --> 00:05:40.390
intense gravitational forces began


00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:43.270
literally ripping the planet apart what


00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:45.029
makes this discovery particularly


00:05:45.039 --> 00:05:47.110
interesting is that we already know this


00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.629
same star system contains another planet


00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:51.870
a neptune-sized world that orbits the


00:05:51.880 --> 00:05:55.430
white dwarf every 3 days this suggests


00:05:55.440 --> 00:05:57.150
we're looking at the aftermath of a


00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.110
complex planetary dance where


00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.110
gravitation forces orchestrated the


00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:02.990
destruction of one world while allowing


00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.629
another to survive this finding isn't


00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:07.870
just about Cosmic Destruction it's


00:06:07.880 --> 00:06:09.790
giving us valuable insights into what


00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:11.589
might happen to planetary systems when


00:06:11.599 --> 00:06:13.870
their Stars die it's particularly


00:06:13.880 --> 00:06:15.589
relevant because our own sun will


00:06:15.599 --> 00:06:17.790
eventually become a white dwarf though


00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.790
fortunately not for several billion


00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.710
years the research team's findings


00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:24.469
published in the monthly notices of the


00:06:24.479 --> 00:06:27.029
Royal Astronomical Society are helping


00:06:27.039 --> 00:06:28.670
us better understand these Stellar


00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.629
remnants and their destructive


00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.950
capabilities it's a sobering reminder


00:06:32.960 --> 00:06:35.430
that even in death stars can still


00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:37.230
dramatically influence the fate of their


00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:38.909
planetary


00:06:38.919 --> 00:06:41.150
systems next up let's get an update from


00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:43.150
an old friend in a Bittersweet


00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.589
development for space exploration NASA


00:06:45.599 --> 00:06:47.350
has announced another step in their


00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.309
power conservation efforts for the


00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.950
remarkable Voyager 2 spacecraft after


00:06:51.960 --> 00:06:53.749
shutting down its plasma spectrometer


00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.350
last October NASA is now preparing to


00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:58.510
power down the low energy charge


00:06:58.520 --> 00:07:00.830
particle instrument later this month


00:07:00.840 --> 00:07:02.830
leaving the spacecraft with just three


00:07:02.840 --> 00:07:04.950
active instruments this careful


00:07:04.960 --> 00:07:06.790
management of Voyager 2's dwindling


00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:08.869
energy resources is crucial for


00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.430
extending its historic Mission as


00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:13.550
Suzanne Dodd Voyager project manager at


00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.029
JPL explains without these strategic


00:07:16.039 --> 00:07:18.469
shutdowns both Voyager spacecraft would


00:07:18.479 --> 00:07:20.230
likely have only a few more months of


00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:21.990
power before Mission end would need to


00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.390
be declared the remaining active


00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:27.230
instruments the magnetometer cosmic ray


00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.150
subsystem and plasma wave subsystem


00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.430
will continue Gathering valuable data


00:07:32.440 --> 00:07:34.909
about the interstellar medium giving us


00:07:34.919 --> 00:07:37.550
unprecedented insights into the space


00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.510
beyond our solar systems


00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:41.350
boundaries what's particularly


00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.070
remarkable about these instruments is


00:07:43.080 --> 00:07:46.589
their incredible longevity take the low


00:07:46.599 --> 00:07:48.469
energy charge particle instrument that's


00:07:48.479 --> 00:07:50.950
about to be shut down it was originally


00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:53.749
tested for 500,000 motor steps enough to


00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.430
last until Saturn's encounter in 1980


00:07:56.440 --> 00:07:58.149
instead it will have completed more than


00:07:58.159 --> 00:08:01.029
8.5 million steps by the time it's


00:08:01.039 --> 00:08:03.230
deactivated these power conservation


00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:04.869
efforts should allow both Voyager


00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:06.830
spacecraft to continue operating into


00:08:06.840 --> 00:08:09.469
the 2030s though with reduced


00:08:09.479 --> 00:08:11.309
capabilities that would extend their


00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:14.390
missions to well over 50 years an


00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:16.070
astounding achievement for spacecraft


00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:18.309
that were originally designed for 5-year


00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.029
missions as Linda spilker Voyager


00:08:21.039 --> 00:08:23.390
project scientist reminds us every


00:08:23.400 --> 00:08:25.909
minute of every day these spacecraft are


00:08:25.919 --> 00:08:28.110
exploring regions where no human-made


00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.309
object has gone before


00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:31.950
each new data point they send back


00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:33.750
represents another piece of our


00:08:33.760 --> 00:08:35.990
understanding of the vast unknown that


00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.430
lies beyond our solar systems


00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:40.230
boundaries in a groundbreaking


00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:41.550
achievement for commercial space


00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:44.149
operations varda space has successfully


00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.269
completed their second capsule Landing


00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.949
touching down in the Australian Outback


00:08:48.959 --> 00:08:50.870
this marks a significant Milestone as


00:08:50.880 --> 00:08:53.030
the first commercial Landing of its kind


00:08:53.040 --> 00:08:55.550
in Australia demonstrating the growing


00:08:55.560 --> 00:08:57.509
capabilities of private companies in


00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:00.030

manufacturing valuable materials in the


00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:24.030
unique environment of space what makes


00:09:24.040 --> 00:09:26.269
this Mission particularly noteworthy is


00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.630
the capsule's sophisticated heat shield


00:09:28.640 --> 00:09:31.150
developed in collaboration with NASA's


00:09:31.160 --> 00:09:34.030
as Research Center the successful


00:09:34.040 --> 00:09:36.470
re-entry provided crucial data about


00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:39.190
Hypersonic flight with the onboard opree


00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.670

at speeds exceeding Mach 15 the 265lb


00:09:48.160 --> 00:09:50.990
capsule safe return represents more than


00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.069
just a technical achievement it's a


00:09:53.079 --> 00:09:54.949
clear signal that we're entering a new


00:09:54.959 --> 00:09:57.350
era where private companies can not only


00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.069
reach space but also bring manufactured


00:10:00.079 --> 00:10:02.750
goods back to Earth this capability


00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:05.230

months with more American spacecraft


00:10:55.079 --> 00:10:56.710
touching down on the moon in the past


00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.790
year than in the previous five decades


00:10:58.800 --> 00:10:59.870
combined


00:10:59.880 --> 00:11:02.069
after a 51-year gap following Apollo


00:11:02.079 --> 00:11:05.389
17's historic Landing in 1972 we've now


00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.509
seen two successful American lunar


00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:10.389

00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.350
gearing up for their second attempt with


00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:20.310
their Nova sea Lander named Athena if


00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.629
successful this would mark an incredible


00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.310
achievement three us lunar Landings in


00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:27.550
just over a year the stakes are even


00:11:27.560 --> 00:11:29.990
higher this time with NASA entrusting


00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.949
some valuable scientific payloads to the


00:11:31.959 --> 00:11:34.269
mission the star of the show is the


00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:36.629
prime one experiment featuring an ice


00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:38.790
drill designed to sample any water ice


00:11:38.800 --> 00:11:41.110
lurking beneath the lunar surface


00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.310
there's also an Innovative Hopper that


00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:45.550
will use small Rockets to explore nearby


00:11:45.560 --> 00:11:47.990
craters around the South Pole with the


00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.430
potential to venture into lava tubes


00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:51.509
something that could provide


00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:53.269
extraordinary new insights into the


00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:54.269
moon's


00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.310
geology the commercial nature of this


00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.110
Mission has allowed for some fascinating


00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.030
private payloads as well


00:12:00.040 --> 00:12:02.230
Athena will be carrying a small Rover a


00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:04.470
Data Center and even equipment to set up


00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:06.790
a 4G cellular network on the lunar


00:12:06.800 --> 00:12:08.750
surface learning from their first


00:12:08.760 --> 00:12:10.350
mission where Odysseus landed


00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.190
successfully but tipped over due to a


00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.710
laser system malfunction the team has


00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:16.790
implemented about 10 major changes to


00:12:16.800 --> 00:12:19.150
the spacecraft and its software along


00:12:19.160 --> 00:12:21.550
with roughly 30 smaller improvements


00:12:21.560 --> 00:12:23.230
their Chief technology officer has


00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:25.150
emphasized extensive testing of the


00:12:25.160 --> 00:12:27.829
laser system this time around aiming to


00:12:27.839 --> 00:12:29.350
avoid the issues that led to the their


00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:32.389
previous landing at too steep an angle


00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.269
this Mission represents more than just


00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:36.750
another moon landing it's evidence that


00:12:36.760 --> 00:12:39.110
NASA's commercial lunar payload Services


00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.550
Program is beginning to deliver on its


00:12:41.560 --> 00:12:43.949
promise of establishing reliable


00:12:43.959 --> 00:12:46.069
cost-effective access to the lunar


00:12:46.079 --> 00:12:48.949
surface with each successful Mission
