He also said as many as 12 launch vehicle missions are planned by the ISRO this year. The upcoming mission, NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) scheduled to be launched by India's GSLV F16 on July 30. 'Now we are working on building our own space station. We are going to have our own Chandrayan landing. Right now, 55 satellites are in orbit serving the common man in this country. And in another three years, this number has to become almost three times. The requirement is huge. The demand is so much that we have to build satellites. We are working towards that," he said.

Will the whole world go dark on August 2? Here's the truth
Amid a flurry of viral posts and breathless headlines circulating across social media, many have been left wondering: Will the world experience a dramatic darkening on August 2, 2025, due to a total solar eclipse?The simple answer is reality, astronomers confirm there is no solar eclipse slated for August 2 this year. The true event generating all the excitement will not occur until August 2, Origins of the MisinformationThe rumors seem to have gained traction in online forums and instant messaging forwards, with phrases like "the Earth will be plunged into six minutes of darkness" attaching to the wrong posts even claim a once-in-a-century event will unfold in 2025, sending schools and skywatchers into a frenzy of false records from NASA and reputable observatories definitively state there will be no solar eclipse, total or partial, on August 2, the much-anticipated total solar eclipse is scheduled for August 2, 2027, when the Moon's shadow will sweep across parts of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, offering a rare celestial spectacle not seen in Really Happening in 2027On August 2, 2027, the Moon will move between the Earth and Sun, briefly turning day into night along a 'path of totality' stretching from southern Spain across North Africa and into the Middle eclipse will last for more than six minutes in some regions, making it one of the longest total solar eclipses of the 21st century, a phenomenon scientists and eclipse chasers are eagerly outside the path of totality, including much of Europe, Africa, and Western Asia, will witness a partial eclipse, while the vast majority of Earth's surface, including all of North America and most of Asia and Australia, will see no unusual darkening at Fact from FictionNo total solar eclipse will take place on August 2, 2025; claims to the contrary are 'six minutes of darkness' event will happen on August 2, 2027, but only within a narrow geographic corridor. The rest of the world will not notice any change in a vivid example of how online buzz can distort the facts, but skywatchers should keep their calendars marked for 2027. Until then, there will be no daytime darkness for the planet this August.- EndsMust Watch
