ISRO outshines Google? S Somnath praises new innovation Geoportal-Bhuvan, says ‘offers 10 times more detailed data.’​

• The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has significantly advanced its data dissemination with Geoportal-Bhuvan, offering ten times more detailed information than Google. New tools, Bhuvan-Panchayat and NDEM, enhance data access, local governance, and disaster management.

ISRO Chief S. Somanath recently announced that Bhuvan offers users data that is ten times more detailed than what Google provides.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is making great advancements in its data dissemination capabilities through its Geoportal-Bhuvan, surpassing global giants like Google in terms of information detail, reported ANI.

As per the wire agency, ISRO Chief S. Somanath recently announced that Bhuvan offers users data that is ten times more detailed than what Google provides. He emphasized the introduction of two new tools, Bhuvan-Panchayat and NDEM, which mark major strides in enhancing data access and utility.

Moreover, The Daily Guardian reported that Bhuvan, renowned for its extensive geospatial data offerings, provides detailed insights and resources valuable across multiple sectors. Its capability to deliver localized information supports decision-making processes in areas such as agriculture, urban planning, and disaster management.

The newly launched Bhuvan-Panchayat tool aims to empower local governance by supplying enriched data sets and analytical tools to support their operations.

According to Somanath, "India's Geoportal-Bhuvan delivers information that is ten times more comprehensive than what Google offers. We have introduced two critical tools, Bhuvan-Panchayat and NDEM, adding substantial new data sets."

Reportedly, the National Database for Emergency Management (NDEM) is another critical addition, enhancing ISRO’s disaster response and management capabilities. By integrating vital data sets, NDEM aids in risk assessment and mitigation during emergencies, reflecting ISRO’s commitment to using space technology for societal benefits.

Somanath highlighted that these tools play a crucial role in bridging information gaps, providing stakeholders at various levels with actionable insights derived from satellite imagery and other spatial data. The continuous evolution of the Geoportal-Bhuvan strengthens India’s digital infrastructure, offering robust solutions tailored to meet diverse needs across the nation.

I think they should also plan a deep space MOM type of mission for one of the outer planets we know little about such as Uranus or Neptune but that would require the use of RTGs which ISRO needs to learn how to develop.

Hypersonic air breathing rocket test tomorrow( July 22nd)

Exclusive: ISRO to test air-breathing hypersonic tech on July 22

On Monday (Jul 22), the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will be test-flying a unique piece of technology known as an air-breathing propulsion system, WION has learnt. The test launch of this system is expected around 7:30 am IST, from India's spaceport Satish Dhawan Space Centre...

I like that they clarified the the pic is from an earlier test .. cause green flames means that the copper burning and they lost that engine on that test.

That green colour is not because of copper burning,they use certain chemicals to ignite the keroscene-LOX, that's the colour of that chemicals burning...even SpaceX uses the same, observe Falcon-9 landing burn carefully,you will notice a green flame during ignition

Maybe you are correct . But the green flames from spacex were also on their failed landings were that of copper as well.

ISRO conducts flight experiment of Air Breathing Propulsion System

July 22, 2024

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully carried out the second experimental flight for the demonstration of Air Breathing Propulsion Technology at 07:00 am today. The Propulsion systems were symmetrically mounted on either side of a RH-560 Sounding rocket and launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. The flight test achieved satisfactory performance of the Sounding Rocket along with successful ignition of the Air Breathing propulsion systems. Nearly 110 parameters were monitored during the flight to assess its performance. The flight data from the mission will be useful for the next phase of development of Air Breathing Propulsion systems. Prior to the mission, multiple ground tests were carried out at the various ISRO Centres including Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) & ISRO Propulsion Complex (IPRC) and also at the CSIR -National Aerospace Laboratories (CSIR-NAL), Bengaluru.

RH-560 is a two-stage, solid motor based sub-orbital rocket that is designed to be utilized as a cost-effective flying test bed for the demonstration of advanced technologies. It is the heaviest sounding rocket in the ISRO’s family of sounding rockets and is launched from Sriharikota.
