The space system design lab was inaugurated recently in Ahmedabad by the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe). The Space Systems Design Labs purpose is to help space start-ups turn their innovative ideas into implementable models more quickly, and reduce research and development costs.

The main focus of the IN-SPACe design lab is to enable start-ups in the space sector to build prototypes with the least iterations, thus significantly reducing the turnaround time and research and development costs for start-ups. In turn, this will help non-government entities (NGEs) to play an important part in the development of cutting-edge space technologies.

To achieve its objectives, the IN-SPACe design lab comprises high-end analysis and simulation Software for mission simulation, modeling, visualizing, optimizing payload and spacecraft, ground station, and launch vehicle avionics. The software Resources include Pathwave system design, System Tool Kit, Advance Design Systems, 3D CAD Mach 3, high frequency structure simulation, Simcenter 3D space System (Thermal and cooling), Finite Element analysis structure (FEAST) and OpticStudio (Zemax). They will play a part in mission planning to RF, structural and thermal design and analysis of space systems.

The Ministry of DEFENCE of India has recently signed three defence contracts with Bharat Electronics Limited (Bel) and NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) on March 29, 2023.

Indias first quantum computing-based telecom Network link has been made operational between Sanchar Bhawan and National Informatics Centre office in New Delhi. Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced prize of Rs 10 lakh for ethical hackers who can break the encryption of the system and also launched a hackathon challenge for anyone who can break the system developed by C-DoT, with a reward of Rs 10 lakh per break.

A quantum computing-based telecom network uses the principles of quantum physics to transmit information, providing a more secure method than traditional networks. Quantum Communication relies on quantum mechanics properties, making it hard to intercept or hack the communication. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the telecom Industry by enabling faster, more efficient, and secure communication.

Nevado del Ruiz is a stratovolcano located in the central part of Colombia. It is considered one of the most active and dangerous in the country, with a HISTORY of generating destructive lahars and pyroclastic flows. In this article, we will delve into the facts and information about the Nevado del Ruiz volcano.

Nevado del Ruiz is situated in the Andes mountain range, approximately 129 km (80 mi) from the capital city of Bogot. It is part of the Los Nevados National Natural Park, which is Home to other volcanic peaks and Glaciers. The volcanos composition consists of layers of lava, volcanic ash, and pyroclastic rocks, which have built up over approximately two million years of volcanic activity.
