NISAR satellite in space photographed by Vantor
BENGALURU: One of the most sought-after satellites -- NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) -- was photographed in space by Vantor, formerly known as Maxar Technologies, the company that provides AI- powered spatial intelligence. It captured an image of NISAR after the world's largest antenna in space, measuring 12 metres in diameter, was fully opened in August 2025. Vantor took to its social media platform on Thursday to share the image of NISAR taken from Earth's orbit. It said: Full bloom on the most powerful radar satellite ever builtseen here with centimetre-level clarity. Vantor collected this image of the NISAR synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite after it deployed its giant circular radar antenna reflector in August. The NISAR has been built jointly by NASA and ISRO. It was launched from the GSLV-F16 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikotta on July 30, 2025. NISAR had revealed the first images it had taken, in September 2025, of Mount Desert Island and North Dakota Wetlands, Farmlands. The NISAR mission is on track and will start its assigned scientific operations from November. Full bloom on the most powerful radar satellite ever builtseen here with centimeter-level clarity. Vantor collected this image of the NISAR synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite after it deployed its giant circular radar antenna reflector in August. Developed jointly by pic.twitter.com/1SM8Yi72Kf Vantor (@vantortech) October 16, 2025 Vantor said: The satellite is the largest and is one of a kind ever deployed in space. For high-value assets in space, decision makers don't have days to wait for answers to critical questions. They need fast answers. Our WorldView Space non-Earth imaging capability is built for exactly for this. Here you can see the actual structural statewhether the mesh is properly tensioned, if the deployment geometry matches specifications, and how the spacecraft is oriented relative to its imaging targets. With this image, we also collected spacecraft orientation, velocity data, and deployment confirmation that telemetry alone can't verify. This is the kind of trusted intelligence that delivers total clarity to help you understand what's happening in Earth's orbit. The satellite will scan the entire globe and provide all weather, day and night data at 12-day intervals, which will be used for a wide range of applications. The NISAR can detect even small changes in the Earths surface such as ground deformation, ice sheet movement and vegetation dynamics. Its other applications include sea ice classification, ship detection, shoreline monitoring, storm characterisation, changes in soil moisture, mapping and monitoring of surface water resources and disaster response. It has dual-frequency Synthetic Aperture Radars -- L-Band and S-Band and is stationed in the 743 km Sun-synchronous orbit with an inclination of 98.4 degrees.

Indian Navy warship deployed to South China Sea, Indo-Pacific makes port call in Malaysia
NEW DELHI: Carrying out its long range deployment, the Indian Navy's indigenous stealth frigate INS Sahyadri made a port call at Kemaman port in Malaysia as part of the Eastern Fleet Operational Deployment to the South China Sea and Indo-Pacific. The Navy on Sunday said, the port call was on 02 Oct 2025, The ship was accorded a warm welcome by the Royal Malaysian Navy, celebrating enduring cultural ties and shared maritime traditions between the two nations. This is the third visit by INS Sahyadri to Malaysia. The ship had earlier visited Port Klang on a goodwill mission in 2016, and later participated in Exercise Samudra Laksamana at Kota Kinabalu in 2019. These visits underscore the strong and evolving naval ties between the two countries. INS Sahyadri's ongoing operational deployment to the South China Sea and Indo-Pacific, underscores India's stature as a responsible maritime stakeholder and preferred security partner in the Indo-Pacific, said the Navy. The ship's port call at Kemaman is aimed at further strengthening India-Malaysia maritime military cooperation, interoperability between the two navies and exchanging best naval practices, the Navy added. The three-day visit included courtesy calls by the Ship's Commanding Officer on senior Royal Malaysian Navy officers, including a call on First Admiral Abd Halim bin Kamarudin, Deputy Commander Naval Region. The visit also featured professional exchanges, cross visits by Indian Navy and RMN officials, cross-training, sport fixtures between the two navies, as well as recreational visits to the city for INS Sahyadri's crew. The crew also conducted a yoga session and charity event, reflecting the Indian Navy's commitment to wellness, compassion, and strengthening India-Malaysia friendship. India and Malaysia share a rich and multi-dimensional relationship, shaped by deep-rooted cultural, social and economic ties, spanning millennia. With the ever increasing significance of the Indo-Pacific in the geopolitical seascape, both nations have increasingly recognised the importance of building regional partnerships, based on mutual interest. India's MAHASAGAR initiative and Malaysia's alignment with ASEAN's Outlook on Indo-Pacific (AOIP), offer prosperity for both nations through maritime synergy. The navy-to-navy interactions between India and Malaysia have grown steadily over the years through the biennial LIMA exhibition and MILAN exercises. The successful culmination of the third edition of Field Training Exercise (FTX) - ' Samudra Laksmana ' in 2024 between Indian Navy and RMN ships, underscores the commitment of both nations towards bolstering maritime security and cooperation in the region. This port call to Malaysia follows Indian Navy's milestone exercise in the area as it successfully achieved maiden mating with foreign submarines in South China Sea (SCS) during XPR-25 (Exercise Pacific Reach-2025) conducting a full spectrum of Intervention and Rescue Operations. Three successful mates including ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) operations over three days showcased our growing global rescue capabilities. It was a display of capability and teamwork with international maritime forces, the Indian Navy carried out its first mating exercise with foreign submarines away from Indian shores. As reported earlier by TNIE , the exercise took place in the South China Sea, an area marked by tensions over contested maritime boundaries, including islands and exclusive economic zones. Notably, China has been asserting its claims based on what it calls historical rights, and is currently in a standoff with US-backed Philippine naval vessels. Meanwhile, the Philippines is asserting its claim over the Second Thomas Shoal, which China strongly resists. China claims most of the South China Sea, while the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan hold counterclaims.

I spoke to the High Commissioner of Singapore, His Excellency Simon Wong, and requested a detailed enquiry into the circumstances leading to the untimely demise of our beloved Zubeen Garg. Excellency has assured me of complete cooperation in this regard. @SGinIndia Himanta Biswa Sarma (@himantabiswa) September 20, 2025 The government will not make any independent decision regarding the last rites of the singer.

Global Leadership Through Silent Impact by Uppalapadu Prathakota Shiva Prasad Reddy
Uppalapadu Prathakota Shiva Prasad Reddy, a global entrepreneur and philanthropist Crossing industries like beverages, construction, mining, agro-production, pharmaceuticals, and tourism, his entrepreneurial journey shows the strength of diversification and controlled growth. Anticipating change instead of responding to it, he has been able to establish enterprises that flourish across borders, leading to sustainable economic growth. Entrepreneurship for him is not merely a matter of growing businesses but building frameworks that create resilience, opportunity, and long-term value. But what differentiates him is his theory of quiet philanthropy. Instead of accolades, he invests his time and resources in human capital building and education reform. His strategy rests upon three strong pillars: access, in that the students from underprivileged communities are not excluded from possibilities; dignity, whereby assistance is enabling and not transactional; and continuity, so that the effect goes beyond a generation. By funding NGOs, grassroots organizations, and community leaders, he helps bolster the very pillars of social justice while keeping the spotlight on the people spearheading local transformations. This model is a reflection of his abiding conviction: that real leadership is not gauged in awards but by the lives changed. Uppalapadu Prathakota Shiva Prasad Reddy represents a new generation of international leadership, one where business acumen is combined with social consciousness, forging a soft but lasting record of advancement, dignity, and human potential.
