Joint Earth Observing Mission of NASA and ISRO NISAR

NASA and ISRO are collaborating to develop a satellite called NISAR. The satellite will be launched into near-polar orbit from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, India in 2022. Highlights:

 

In the three-year mission of imaging the earth’s land, ice sheets and sea ice, it will scan the earth every 12 days to provide an “unprecedented” panorama of the earth.

 

It can detect that in an area that is only half the size of a tennis court, the movement of the planet’s surface is only 0.4 inches.

 

NASA will provide one of the satellite radars, a high-speed communication subsystem for scientific data, a GPS receiver and a payload data subsystem.

 

ISRO will provide the spacecraft bus, the second type of radar (called S-band radar), launch vehicles and related delivery services.

 

NISAR will be equipped with the largest reflector antenna in NASA’s history. Its main goals include tracking subtle changes in the Earth’s surface, detecting warning signs of impending volcanic eruptions, helping monitor groundwater supply and tracking the rate of ice cap melting. ♦ NISAR is the abbreviation of NASA-ISRO-SAR. SAR refers to the synthetic aperture radar used by NASA to measure changes in the earth’s surface.

 

Human Rights and App Update ProtonVPN

ProtonVPN, a Swiss virtual private network service provider, criticized Apple for stopping application updates and violating human rights. Highlights:

A virtual private network (VPN) provides you with online privacy and anonymity by creating a private network from a public Internet connection. VPN will block your Internet Protocol (IP) address, so your online operations are almost untraceable. Most importantly, the VPN service establishes a secure and encrypted connection.

The Burmese military launched a coup (it was the third military coup in the country’s history since it broke away from British rule in 1948). A state of emergency was imposed and the democratically elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi was detained.

Apple blocked Proton’s security updates on the same day that the United Nations recommended the Proton app to the people of Myanmar to report criminal evidence from the military. These updates include security enhancements to prevent account takeover attempts.
