آرٹیمس اور چاند کی نئی دوڑ
Thu, 09 April, 2026 EPAPER چاند کو اب ایک ایسے وسیلے کے طور پر دیکھا جا رہا ہے جو مستقبل کی خلائی معیشت کی بنیاد بن سکتا ہے۔ خاص طور پر چاند کے قطبی علاقوں میں موجود برف جو پانی کا ذریعہ ہے بے حد اہمیت رکھتی ہے۔ اس پانی کو ہائیڈروجن اور آکسیجن میں تقسیم کر کے نہ صرف انسانی بقا ءکو ممکن بنایا جا سکتا ہے بلکہ اسے راکٹ ایندھن کے طور پر بھی استعمال کیا جا سکتا ہے۔ آرٹیمس۔ تصویر:آئی این این چاند جو کبھی محض رومانوی استعاروں، شاعری اور انسانی تجسس کا مرکز تھا آج ایک بار پھر عالمی سیاست، معیشت...
Artemis and the great Moon race
India has established itself as an influential and capable ‘middle power’ in space and lunar exploration. The country has its own plans to send its astronauts to the Moon in the coming decades.
ISRO was set to move on to a new era. PSLV failure has stalled India's space policy
The point here is this: The PSLV is a mature piece of technology. It is a platform designed, optimised, and perfected over three decades. But even mature technology is not immune to entropy. Systems can drift when suppliers change, components age, and processes evolve. However, ISRO has proven it knows how to build a reliable launch system, how to run missions repeatedly, and how to recover from setbacks. It is reasonable to believe ISRO can fix PSLV again.

Fathoming America’s plan to manage AI proliferation
The announcement by the United States of the rescission of its Framework for AI Diffusion, a set of export controls for Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology announced earlier this year, has been viewed as a good thing. The Framework was considered counterproductive to AI technology development and diplomatic relations. However, recent developments suggest that controls on AI are likely to persist, albeit in different forms.

For India, a new frontier in satellite internet Technological advancements and innovation have made satellite internet more accessible than before. Older satellite internet systems required complicated user hardware with high upfront costs.
Implications of the AI Diffusion Framework Original
The Biden-Harris administration unveiled a flurry of policies in their last week in office. The most extraordinary among them is the Framework for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Diffusion. It has many goals: preserving U.S. hegemony in AI technology, balancing innovation and national security, and deterring U.S. adversaries from harvesting the strategic rewards of AI.
Deepening India’s steps as a key space-faring nation Original
India has set ambitious goals for its space programme in the next two decades. These goals hinge on powerful, reusable rockets such as the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)’s upcoming Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV). In addition to the NGLV, India must tap into its private sector to develop more such rockets in order to secure strategic autonomy in its access to outer space.
A strategic thrust to space beyond borders
As space activities grow beyond the traditional state-led programmes, policy is beginning to catch up.
Govt’s Rs 1000 cr fund for space sector has drawbacks. It should bet on outcomes, not ideas
There are different ways that government investments happen in the space sector. They can occur as equity investments, where the government acquires minority stakes in early-stage space companies to support them. Here, the government is taking the responsibility for using public funds to pump capital into the space sector. This is what the venture capital fund is attempting to do. While this is a good approach, it has a few drawbacks.

New guidelines could hamper India’s promising space industry
On May 3, space regulator Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) released new guidelines and procedures for space activity. These guidelines may have a detrimental effect on India’s emerging private space sector. Space is a critical high-technology domain that contributes to everything from traffic management and crop monitoring to border security and missile defence. Following sweeping reforms in 2020, India’s private space sector has steadily grown.
China’s Military-Civil Fusion Space Program
On April 17, NASA chief Bill Nelson cautioned that China’s “so-called civilian space program is a military program,” emphasizing that the United States is engaged in a space “race” with China. While NASA may have its reasons for securitizing this issue, one cannot overlook China’s rapid advancements in the space sector.

Tesco announces further price cuts on pasta and cooking oil
It follows a number of supermarkets dropping the price of some lines of bread and butter last week in response to falling commodity prices. Sainsbury’s and Tesco also recently cut the price of milk by at least 5p, followed by Aldi, Lidl and Asda. The cuts come as grocery inflation leapt by more than 19% in March compared with a year ago, as energy and supply chain costs were passed on to shoppers.
What’s Happening in Backpropagation? A Behind the Scenes Look at Deep Learning
Training the Black Box The previous article was all about forward propagation in neural networks, how it works and why it works. One of the important entities in forward propagation is weights. We saw how tuning the weights can take advantage of the non-linearity introduced in each layer to leverage the resultant output. As we said we are going to randomly initialize the weights and biases and let the network learn these weights over time. Now comes the most important question.
Feed Forward Neural Networks - Intuition on Forward Propagation
Neural Networks can be thought of as a function that can map between inputs and outputs. In theory, no matter how complex that function is, neural networks should be able to approximate that function. However, most supervised learning, if not all, is about learning a function that maps given X and Y And later using that function to find the appropriate Y for a new X. If so, what is the difference between traditional machine learning algorithms and neural networks?

Hiding Images using AI - Deep Steganography
Deep Learning is giving us some very new kinds of things. From areas like Style Transfer, to Unsupervised Translation , it is constantly pushing the boundaries of computers. Interestingly, we have not yet reached an upper bound , and new papers with great results seem to come up very often. This post discusses one such new paper — Deep Steganography. This post is based on the NIPS 2017 Paper Hiding Images in Plain Sight: Deep Steganography.
