Sarvam AI and Pixxel build satellites that process data in space before sending it

Sarvam AI and Pixxel build satellites that process data in space before sending it

Sarvam AI and Pixxel are joining forces to develop Pathfinder, India’s first orbital AI system designed to process satellite imagery in space. Instead of streaming raw data to Earth, the mission will use onboard intelligence to convert it into actionable insights first, aiming to speed decisions for disaster response, agriculture, and environmental monitoring.

CRASH Clock warns satellites could collide within days if control is lost

CRASH Clock warns satellites could collide within days if control is lost

A new study introduces “CRASH Clock,” estimating how quickly satellites could collide if they lose control—possibly within days. Researchers say solar storms can knock out communications, leaving spacecraft unable to maneuver. With more satellites than ever in orbit, including thousands of avoidance moves by Starlink, the paper underscores an escalating collision threat as launches surge.

Pixxel and Sarvam to launch Pathfinder orbital data centre processing space data in orbit with AI

Pixxel and Sarvam to launch Pathfinder orbital data centre processing space data in orbit with AI

Pixxel and Sarvam have joined forces to build “Pathfinder,” an orbital data centre satellite that runs AI models directly in space. Instead of sending raw data back to Earth first, the craft will process large volumes in orbit for faster, real-time insights. The approach could strengthen data sovereignty while boosting capabilities for environmental monitoring and resource management with less ground infrastructure.

NASA Radar Reveals Mexico City Sinking Fast With Half Inch Drops Monthly

NASA Radar Reveals Mexico City Sinking Fast With Half Inch Drops Monthly

NASA’s NISAR satellite has captured troubling new measurements of Mexico City’s ground collapse, with some areas dropping nearly half an inch every month. The long-running sinking trend, worsened by groundwater extraction and rapid urbanization, is now being tracked with dual-frequency radar for sharper, neighborhood-level data. The findings could guide mitigation and safer urban planning.

US Gulf bases face new weakness as Iran reportedly hits aircraft and radar

US Gulf bases face new weakness as Iran reportedly hits aircraft and radar

Iran has reportedly inflicted significant damage on US military bases across the Gulf, with Kuwait and Qatar drawing particular attention. Reports say key assets—including aircraft and radar systems—were hit, exposing a fresh vulnerability for American installations. Troops reportedly evacuated positions, while Iran’s improved satellite capabilities are cited as a factor in the strikes.

Pakistan SUPARCO Reposts Old EO Satellite Image As New, Again

Pakistan SUPARCO Reposts Old EO Satellite Image As New, Again

Pakistan’s space agency SUPARCO celebrated the April launch of its EO-3 satellite, but its own website later showed the “new” image had already been uploaded months earlier in 2025. The identical photograph suggests the mission’s first view was repackaged as fresh, helping build a misleading narrative around an otherwise real but modest achievement.
