Indian summer monsoon (Topic- GS Paper I– Geography, Source- Financial Express) Why in the news? • Recently, a new study show details how dust coming from the deserts in the West, Central and East Asia plays an important role in the Indian Summer Monsoon. Reverse effect • The researchers also explain how the Indian Summer Monsoon has a reverse effect and can increase the winds in West Asia to produce yet more dust. Dust particles and winds from the Middle East • When carried by strong winds into the atmosphere, the dust particles from the Middle East absorb solar radiation and become extremely hot. • The heat from these particles raises the heat of its surrounding environment enough to change air pressure and circulation patterns of the wind. • This phenomenon is termed an “elevated heat pump” that is responsible for driving moisture from the sea to the Indian subcontinent. • "The Indian summer monsoon is characterized by strong winds in the summers so once the winds change, the moisture transport from ocean to land will change, and consequently they will increase the precipitation. About Indian summer monsoon rainfalL www.gradeup.co • The Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR) during June to September contributes most of the annual rainfall over India and plays an important role in Indian agriculture and thus the economy. • It exhibits high spatio-temporal variabilities forced from both internal and external factors, which are important for better understanding and prediction of ISMR. Tropical cyclone Seroja (Topic- GS Paper I–Geography, Source- Indian Express) Why in the news? • Recently, MALAKA, Indonesia (Reuters) - Floods and landslides triggered by tropical cyclone Seroja in a cluster of islands in southeast Indonesia and East Timor have killed 113 people.

What has the new study revealed? • Studies have found the amount of ice flowing out of it has nearly doubled over the past 30 years. • The researchers discovered that there is a deep connection to the east through which deep water flows from Pine Island Bay, a connection that was previously thought to be blocked by an underwater ridge. • The study also looked at heat transport in one of the three channels which brings warm water towards the glacier from the north. Lost golden city of Egypt (Topic- GS Paper I–History, Source- Indian Express) Why in the news? • Recently, three-millennia-old “lost golden city” from the era of 18th-dynasty king Amenhotep III, who ruled ancient Egypt from 1391 to 1353 B.C., has been found in the southern province of Luxor in Egypt.

NASA’s Commercial Crew Program is delivering on its goal of safe, reliable, and cost-effective human transportation to and from the International Space Station from the United States through a partnership with American private industry. A new generation of spacecraft and launch systems capable of carrying astronauts to low-Earth orbit and the International Space Station provides expanded utility, additional research time, and broader opportunities for discovery on the orbiting laboratory. The station is a critical testbed for NASA to understand and overcome the challenges of long- duration spaceflight. As commercial companies focus on providing human transportation services to and from low-Earth orbit, NASA is freed up to focus on building spacecraft and rockets for deep space missions. With the ability to purchase astronaut transportation from Boeing and SpaceX as a service on a fixed-price contract, NASA can use resources to put the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon as a part of our Artemis missions in preparation for human missions to Mars.

  • Crew-2 Mission
    Crew-2 Mission drishtiias.com/printpdf/crew-2-mission Why in News Four astronauts were launched to the International Space Station (ISS) from Florida as part of a collaboration between NASA and SpaceX under the Commercial Crew Program. The mission is called Crew-2. Key Points About the Commercial Crew Program: NASA's Commercial Crew Program is a partnership between NASA and private industry to carry astronauts to and from the International Space Station. Unlike previous human spaceflight programs, NASA is a customer buying flights from commercial providers. The agency does not own or operate the spacecraft. The program is helping to lower the cost of spaceflight and potentially create a new commercial market for humans in space. By encouraging private companies to provide crew transportation services to and from low-Earth orbit, NASA can focus on building spacecraft and rockets meant for deep space exploration missions. Boeing and SpaceX were selected by NASA in September 2014 to develop transportation systems meant to transfer crew from the US to the ISS. Note Recently, the Indian government had announced the opening up of the space sector to private players with the inception of Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe). 1/3 NASA’s Partnership with SpaceX: In May 2020, NASA’s SpaceX Demo-2 test flight lifted off for the ISS carrying two astronauts. The aim of this test flight was to see if SpaceX capsules could be used on a regular basis to ferry astronauts to and from the ISS. Demo-2 was followed by the Crew-1 mission in November, which was the first of six crewed missions between NASA and SpaceX marking the beginning of a new era for space travel.
