RHUMI-1: India's First Reusable Hybrid Rocket Launched by TN-Based Start-Up!

Mission RHUMI 2024 Takes Off to Battle Climate Change

  • Chennai, Aug. 24, 2024: Today, Tamil Nadu-based start-up Space Zone India successfully launched India's first-ever reusable hybrid rocket – "RHUMI-1" from Thiruvidanthai, near Chennai. This ground-breaking launch is part of Mission RHUMI 2024, aimed at addressing pressing environmental issues like global warming and climate change.

  • The 3.5-meter-tall rocket carried three CUBE satellites and 50 Pico satellites, gathering critical data on cosmic radiation, UV levels, air quality, and ozone conditions. Despite strong winds, the launch was successful, reaching an altitude of 35 kilometers. Spearheaded by Space Zone India CEO Anand Megalingam with the guidance of former ISRO Director Mylswamy Annadurai, this mission marks a new era of sustainable space exploration.

Why It Matters

  • The RHUMI-1 rocket introduces a reusable hybrid motor using generic fuel, minimizing costs and environmental impact. This mission showcases India's growing prominence in space innovation and reflects the country's dedication to sustainable space solutions.

"We are redefining space exploration while protecting the planet," said Megalingam.

"Saturn's Moon, Enceladus, Unveils Shocking Potential for Alien Life 🪐"

Image
 In a groundbreaking revelation of the cosmos, fresh evidence suggests that Saturn's moon, Enceladus, might be a hotbed for alien life within our solar system. The icy moon, shrouded in mystery, has long fascinated scientists, and now, a reanalysis of data collected by NASA's Cassini-Huygens mission has unveiled a remarkable chemical diversity that makes Enceladus a top contender in the quest for extraterrestrial life. Harvard University biophysicist Jonah Peter, the study's lead author published in Nature Astronomy, and his colleagues at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory revisited Cassini's samples, delving deeper into the molecular makeup of Enceladus's water plumes. The results? Not only did they confirm the presence of essential molecules like water, carbon dioxide, methane, and ammonia, but they also discovered more complex compounds—hydrocarbons like hydrogen cyanide and ethane, along with traces of partially oxidized compounds such as methanol. Initially o

Could there be a black hole inside the sun 🌞?

Image
 Imagine our sun, the source of life, collapsing into a black hole or devoured by a wandering cosmic wanderer. Brace yourselves – the end might be closer than we think! If a massive black hole swallowed our sun, we'd have a mere eight minutes before everything changed. But what if it's a small primordial black hole? Now, that's a twist worth exploring. Primordial black holes, born in the universe's infancy, are hypothetical entities, smaller than a baseball and as massive as an asteroid. They play a role in theoretical models explaining mysteries from dark matter to the enigmatic Planet X. Enter Hawking stars – stars with a black hole at their core. New research delves into the consequences of a sun-like star capturing a primordial black hole. Initially harmless due to its minuscule mass, it could reshape the star's fate and lead to its demise over time. The study emphasizes that the outcome depends on the primordial black hole's initial size. If it falls within

Unveiling the Cosmic Secret: Quark Cores in the Mightiest Neutron Stars! 🌞🛰🌌

Image
In the mysterious cosmos, neutron star s are the remnants of massive celestial bodies, the last guardians against the gravitational collapse into a black hole. Recent research published in Nature Communications suggests a mind-boggling revelation: the possibility of quark cores within the hearts of these enigmatic neutron stars. Exploring the Basics: Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons, in turn, are composite particles of up and down quarks. Unlike electrons, quarks are bound by a strong force, never existing as truly free particles in the vacuum of space. However, this study challenges that notion, proposing that quarks might liberate themselves within the intense gravitational fields of neutron stars. The Neutron Star Conundrum: Traditionally, the neutron star model envisions a core teetering on the brink of collapse, densely packed with neutrons. The prevailing belief is that these neutrons, though energetic, remain tightly bound, preventing the
