India's first imaging satellite in geosynchronous orbit lifts off successfully

Sriharikota, Sep 04: ISRO's state-of-the art Earth observation spacecraft, the country's first ever imaging satellite intended for the Geosynchronous orbit, EOS-05 lifted off from the spaceport here on Friday. Set to provide real-time imagery and help the nation in areas including agriculture, and disaster management, a GSLV-F17 rocket carrying the payload headed into the wide skies carrying the satellite, intended for delivery at the Sub-geosynchronous transfer orbit (Sub-GTO) in the wee hours. After the completion of a smooth 27-hour countdown, which commenced at 23.30 hours on Wednesday, the rocket, with a 2,367 kg payload mass, began its ascent on dot at 2.55 AM from the second launch pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The odd hour and rain could not deter the enthusiasm of members of public as many turned up to cheer the launch. While several earth observation satellites operate from low earth orbit (LEO), the EOS-5 satellite is set to hover at an altitude of roughly 36,000 km above earth, which is the geosynchronous orbit and at that level, the satellite will match Earth's rotational speed. The GSLV-F-17 is the 19th flight of India's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle. The 3-stage, 51.7 meter rocket, with its third stage being cryogenic, has a lift off mass of 420.5 tonne and the over-2,000 kg satellite is ensconced on the rocket nose cone. The GSLV-F17/EOS-05 mission is said to be a replacement for the unsuccessful GSLV-F-10/EOS-03 mission of 2021. An onboard computer had aborted that mission at 307 seconds into the flight then. A probe into the post-flight data had indicated that an anomaly in the Cryogenic Upper Stage led to the mission failure, according to ISRO. The pre-dawn launch on Friday follows a gap of nearly 8 months. On January 12 this year, ISRO's PSLV-C62 rocket carrying 16 satellites failed to place them in the intended orbit after encountering an anomaly in the critical third stage of the launch. This was ISRO's only launch this year and it failed. A similar, previous attempt in May 2025 (PSLV-C61-EOS-09) also did not succeed due to a motor pressure issue, and there was a fall in the chamber pressure of the motor case. Days ago, ISRO chairman V Narayanan visited the Tirumala Tirupati Lord Venkateshwara Swamy temple and prayed for the mission's success.

Dark matter is an invisible form of matter believed to make up about 85% of all matter in the universe. Scientists have never directly detected it, but its gravitational effects on galaxies provide strong evidence that it exists. The mystery has gained fresh attention after the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment in a former South Dakota gold mine recorded a rare particle interaction that could potentially be linked to a dark matter candidate called a WIMP.

iPhone Driver

Starting today, Oklahoma residents can add a digital version of their driver's license to the Apple Wallet app on the iPhone and Apple Watch. The digital ID can be used to display proof of identity or age at TSA checkpoints in select airports, at select businesses, and in select apps, but the number of places where it is accepted is still quite limited. Oklahoma is the 16th state to implement support for Apple Wallet IDs in the U.S., joining Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia. The feature is also available in Puerto Rico and works with Japan's My Number Card. Apple has also been preparing for the feature to go live in North Carolina and Utah in the coming months, and years ago it announced that Connecticut, Kentucky, and Mississippi were committed to launching the feature at some point. To set up the feature, open the Wallet app on the iPhone and tap on the plus sign in the top-right corner. Next, tap on Driver's License and ID Cards, select Oklahoma from the list, and follow the on-screen steps to complete the process. Then, you can present your digital ID where it is accepted without handing over your device. You can present an Apple Wallet ID where accepted by simply tapping your iPhone or Apple Watch on an identity reader. Then, you will be able to view the specific information being requested by the TSA or business. Only after authorizing with Face ID or Touch ID is the requested identity information released from your device. As mentioned, you do not need to unlock, show, or hand over your device to present an Apple Wallet ID in person, ensuring user privacy. Apple Wallet IDs are generally not accepted by law enforcement, so carrying a physical ID is still legally required for traffic stops. In addition, the number of businesses that accept Apple Wallet IDs is still quite small. At least for now, Apple Wallet IDs are designed to be a convenient alternative where they are accepted. Apple Wallet IDs are accepted at TSA checkpoints in more than 250 airports across the U.S. for domestic travel, according to Apple.

The Clock India Has Not Built Yet

TECHNOLOGY & NATIONAL SECURITY In 1999, during the Kargil conflict, India asked the United States for GPS data over the heights and was turned down. That refusal is the founding document of India's own satellite navigation programme. NavIC exists because somebody in Washington decided Indian soldiers did not need to know where they were standing. Twenty-seven years on, the government has made Indian time legally binding. On 27 August, the Department of Consumer Affairs notified the Legal Metrology (Indian Standard Time) Rules, 2026, as G.S.R. 761(E). Indian Standard Time becomes the only lawful reference for civil, commercial and legal purposes. For telecommunications, financial services, energy and data centres, the rules also name the sources time may be drawn from. GPS is not one of them. Four weeks earlier, the same government had told Parliament that NavIC could no longer fix a position on its own. A mandate arrives before the machinery Rule 7 is the widest clause. No entity may use, display or record any time reference other than IST, for any purpose. Storing timestamps in Coordinated Universal Time is ordinary practice in server logs worldwide. Whether the rule reaches that, or only the time an organisation holds out as official, the text does not say. MediaNama, which reported the rules first, has asked the department and has no answer yet. Rule 6(4) then makes accuracy the responsibility of whoever uses the signal rather than whoever supplies it, and Rule 6(5) requires that user to monitor deviation, log it, and prove traceability to the national standard. A stock exchange does this already. A cooperative bank or a regional internet provider in Srinagar does not. Rule 9(6) extends redundancy obligations to defence, power grids, telecommunications, banking and data centres, then adds enterprises and an open-ended etcetera. That is a scope with no visible edge. The rules take effect 180 days after gazette publication, placing commencement in early 2027. The constellation that cannot navigate On 29 July, in a written reply in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Space Dr Jitendra Singh told the House that only three NavIC satellites still deliver positioning, navigation and timing service. Four are needed for a fix. His wording was careful. NavIC cannot provide standalone positioning, he said, but its timing service is functional. The distinction is real. Positioning needs a fourth satellite to solve for the error inside the receiver's own clock. Timing is a lighter demand. The difficulty is the sentence after it. Users face no operational vulnerability, the reply said, because Indian receivers work in a multi-constellation environment combining NavIC with GPS, Galileo and GLONASS. The armed forces do the same. One arm of the government defends the condition of NavIC by pointing at GPS. Another arm, four weeks later, writes GPS out of the authorised list for the sectors where failure hurts most. The rest of the picture is thin. IRNSS-1B went up in 2014 and has outlived its ten-year design life. NVS-02 was stranded in transfer orbit in January 2025 after a valve failure. NVS-03 sits ready at Sriharikota with a launch expected in early September, and two more are to follow without a date. Why a clock is a target Between November 2023 and February 2025, airlines reported 465 GPS interference and spoofing incidents in Indian airspace, a figure the Civil Aviation Ministry has confirmed in Parliament. Most were in the Amritsar and Jammu corridors. Readers here will not need that geography explained. The problem has since moved inland. Spoofing was reported around Indira Gandhi International Airport late last year, with interference logged at Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai and Bengaluru. The DGCA now wants pilots and controllers to report a GNSS anomaly within ten minutes. Timing sits underneath much more than aviation. Mobile networks hand a call from one tower to the next on the assumption that both agree about the microsecond. Power grids compare phase measurements across state boundaries. Every log a forensic investigation depends on is a claim about when something happened. That is why time is worth attacking. An adversary who shifts your clock steals nothing. He corrupts the record that any later inquiry will read. Which is also the strongest argument for the new rules. GPS is a foreign military signal, it was withheld from India once, and it is being interfered with along the western border now. Two routes to the same room The objection is not to the direction. It is to the order of operations. Rule 8(2) obliges the Director, Legal Metrology to publish the addresses and access protocols of every authorised timing service. No such list is public. Engineers were asking for exactly this in 2022, when CERT-In first told organisations to synchronise their clocks with NIC or NPL servers. Publication is now a legal duty and still has not happened. Capacity is no clearer. Answering an RTI filed by MediaNama in December 2022, CSIR-NPL said it ran 20 NTP servers, all of them at one location in Delhi. NIC declined to give a count, citing security. Those figures are nearly four years old, and nothing public has replaced them. Then there is the part that is easy to miss. NavIC does not keep independent time. Published metrology work on the IRNSS Network Timing Facility describes its time scales as linked to UTC(NPLI), the realisation of universal time maintained at CSIR-NPL in Delhi. For a bank in Jammu, NavIC and the national time servers are not two independent sources of truth. They are two routes to the same laboratory. The rules also decline to say how accurate is accurate enough. Rule 2(a) defines accuracy as conformity to IST without a millisecond or microsecond figure anywhere in eight pages, and Rule 10 provides for audits against a standard the text never states. Rule 11 says a breach is punishable under the Act without naming a section or an amount, and Rule 8(5) lets the Director charge a fee for legally mandated time. Bottom Line Sovereign time is the right objective. A country that refused a navigation signal during a war should not run its banks and its grid on a foreign military system it cannot audit or repair. But a mandate is not a capability, and withdrawing the fallback before the primary is ready produces exposure with better paperwork. Three things ought to be public before these rules bite. The authorised source list Rule 8(2) already requires. The current number and physical distribution of NTP and PTP servers at NPL and NIC. And an answer to a question nobody in government has yet been asked: what happens to Indian time if the Delhi facility goes dark?
