Nasa Moves Artemis II Rocket Towards Launch Pad At Cape Canaveral Nasa began moving its Artemis II rocket towards the launch pad at Cape Canaveral early on Friday, March 20, meeting its planned rollout schedule. The agency had previously stated that this timing would preserve the opportunity for a launch attempt on April 1. Therefore, the rollout represents a critical step in maintaining mission readiness. The rocket started its journey out of the hangar at 12:21 a.m. local time, which corresponds to 0421 GMT. Soon after, the slow and deliberate movement towards the launch site commenced. According to Nasa, the…

Blue Origin Enters Race To Develop Data Centres In Space Blue Origin has formally moved into the race to build data centres in space. The company has filed for permission to deploy nearly 52,000 satellites designed to handle artificial intelligence computing in orbit. This step places the firm alongside other players pursuing similar ambitions beyond Earth. The company stated that its proposed satellites would run on solar power. As a result, they would support computing workloads while avoiding many of the constraints faced by terrestrial facilities. These challenges on the ground often include infrastructure limits and development delays. In contrast,…
Kremlin Tightens Grip On Internet Access Across Russia Office workers struggling with blocked connections and teenagers constantly switching VPNs reflect a growing reality across Russia. The government has intensified its control over internet access, disrupting connectivity in major cities and restricting widely used platforms. In recent days, mobile internet outages have occurred daily in parts of Moscow, St Petersburg, and other urban centres. Officials have acknowledged these disruptions. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that the measures relate partly to legal compliance issues involving foreign technology companies. Additionally, authorities cite security concerns linked to the ongoing conflict, including the threat posed…
Nvidia Gains Approval To Resume AI Chip Sales In China Nvidia has secured approval from Beijing to sell its second most powerful artificial intelligence chips in China, marking a key development in the global semiconductor landscape. The decision allows the company to resume shipments of its H200 chips, which had faced prolonged regulatory delays. Sources indicated that this approval removes a major barrier that had restricted Nvidia’s access to the Chinese market. Previously, China accounted for around 13 percent of the company’s total revenue, making it a critical region for business growth. Therefore, the clearance signals renewed commercial opportunities for…
India will host an international workshop focused on 6G standardisation as part of efforts to strengthen its role in global telecom development. The Telecommunication Engineering Centre, the technical arm of the Department of Telecommunications, will organise the event on 18 March 2026 at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi. Focus on Bharat 6G vision The workshop aligns with the Government of India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative and the Bharat 6G Vision. It aims to position India as a leading contributor to the design, development and deployment of 6G technologies by 2030. Moreover, the initiative seeks to strengthen domestic innovation while enhancing India’s…
Nvidia on Monday said the revenue opportunity for its artificial intelligence chips could reach at least $1 trillion by 2027. The company presented this projection while outlining a sharper strategy to compete in the rapidly expanding market for real time AI systems. Push into inference computing At its annual GTC developer conference in San Jose, California, Nvidia introduced a new central processor and an AI system based on technology from startup Groq. This move forms part of chief executive Jensen Huang’s effort to strengthen the company’s role in inference computing. Inference involves AI systems answering queries or performing tasks using…
Trump Claims Iran Using AI as ‘Disinformation Weapon’ Amid War Tensions U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday accused Iran of deploying artificial intelligence as a tool for disinformation, claiming the technology was being used to exaggerate wartime successes and manipulate public perception. Trump Warns About AI Misinformation Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said artificial intelligence posed serious risks if used irresponsibly. “AI can be very dangerous, we have to be very careful with it,” Trump said. Earlier in the day, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform accusing Western media outlets, without presenting evidence, of working in…
Anthropic filed a lawsuit on Monday to block the Pentagon from placing it on a national security blacklist. The legal action escalates the artificial intelligence company’s dispute with the U.S. military over limits on the use of its technology. The startup filed the case against the U.S. government, President Donald Trump and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth. The complaint outlines several constitutional and legal claims. First Amendment dispute Anthropic argues that the Pentagon retaliated against it for protected speech. Therefore, the company says the action violates the First Amendment, which protects free expression. According to the lawsuit, the Constitution allows the…
Artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape how humanity explores and operates in space. For decades, space has acted as the most demanding testing ground for technology. Systems must survive radiation, extreme temperatures, and the vacuum beyond Earth. Today, however, artificial intelligence offers new capabilities for satellites, spacecraft, and planetary missions. This shift creates major opportunities. Yet success will depend on strong collaboration between hardware developers and space agencies. Both groups must design, test, and validate technologies that can survive the harsh realities of space. AI Applications in Space Missions Artificial intelligence can improve how spacecraft process information and operate independently.…
Sierra Space secured fresh funding that values the company at 8 billion dollars. The company announced on Thursday that it raised 550 million dollars in a Series C funding round. Investors are increasingly backing defence and space technology firms as geopolitical tensions rise and demand grows for commercial space infrastructure. The new capital arrives as interest strengthens in companies with government contracts and proven manufacturing capacity. At the same time, investors are closely watching the expected initial public offering of SpaceX. That potential listing could reshape competition across the commercial space sector. Sierra Space raises major funding round Sierra Space…
