ISRO’s NVS-02 Satellite Stalls in Orbit Due to Technical Malfunction
- Tuesday February 4, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A technical issue has stalled the orbit-raising operations of ISRO’s NVS-02 satellite, launched on January 29. While solar panels are functioning and communication is stable, the oxidizer valves have failed to open, preventing thruster activation. Tracking data indicates the satellite remains in its initial orbit. ISRO is assessing alternative wa...

SpaceX Starship Flight 7 Explosion Raises Concerns Over Air Pollution
- Wednesday February 5, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The explosion of SpaceX’s Starship Flight 7 in mid-January has raised concerns among scientists about atmospheric pollution. The upper stage, weighing 85 tons without fuel, detonated at 90 miles (146 km) above Earth, potentially releasing 45.5 metric tons of metal oxides and 40 metric tons of nitrogen oxides. Experts warn these pollutants could i...
