  • The success of Chandrayaan-3 gave Pakistan sleepless nights, now it is sending a payload to the moon.

    With the success of India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission, India’s stature has increased in the world. Whereas the poor neighboring country Pakistan is bowing its head in shame. Now to remove this shame, Pakistan is preparing to send one of its payloads to the moon. It is being told that Pakistan will send a small satellite CubeSat to the moon. However, Pakistan’s friend China, which is going through poverty, will also take a payload of Pakistan in its next lunar mission.

    China’s spacecraft will carry a payload from Pakistan

    In fact, China’s space agency has said that the country’s proposed lunar mission next year will also carry a payload for Pakistan. This is also being seen as increasing cooperation in the space sector between the two friendly countries. Government news agency Xinhua quoted China National Space Administration (CNSA) as saying that the Chang’e-6 lunar mission is currently undergoing research and development work as planned. According to the report of The Global Times, the launch of Chang’e-6 mission is proposed in 2024 and the purpose of this mission is to bring samples from the far side of the Moon.

    According to the report, all the 10 missions conducted by scientists so far to collect samples from the Moon have been focused on the near part of the Moon. Citing CNSA, the report said that the far side includes the Aitken Basin, which is one of the three major lunar landforms and is very important from a scientific point of view. CNSA said that in order to promote international cooperation, the Chang’e-6 mission will carry payloads and satellite projects from various countries, including France’s Dorne radon detection instrument, the European Space Agency’s negative ion detector, Italy’s laser retroreflector and Pakistan’s Small satellites include CubeSats.

    India’s Chandrayaan-3 has created history
    It is noteworthy that India’s Chandrayaan-3 created history by landing on the South Pole of the Moon on August 23. Before India, no country had been able to land its spacecraft on the south pole of the Moon. India has become the first country in the world to do so. At the same time, when Chandrayaan-3 lander took its first step on the moon, the eyes of the whole world were fixed on India. ISRO launched Chandrayaan from Sriharikota Space Station on July 14. All the countries of the world including America and Russia are considering India’s iron.

  • WHO approves second malaria vaccine, Serum Institute of India can make 10 crore doses

    The World Health Organization (WHO) on Monday authorized the second malaria vaccine. This decision can provide countries with a cheaper and more effective option than the first malaria vaccine. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the UN health agency is approving the new malaria vaccine on the advice of two expert groups. Expert groups have recommended its use in children at risk of malaria. Tedros said, as a malaria researcher, I dreamed of the day when we would have a safe and effective vaccine against malaria. Now we have two vaccines.

    Oxford University has developed a new three-dose vaccine with the help of Serum Institute of India. Research has shown that it is more than 75 percent effective and protection lasts for at least another year with a booster dose. Tedros said that its single dose would cost around $2 to $4 and it could be available in some countries next year. Earlier this year, regulatory authorities in Ghana and Burkina Faso approved the vaccine.

    John Johnson, working with ‘Doctors Without Borders’, said, this will be another weapon at our disposal but it will not eliminate the need for mosquito nets and mosquito sprays. This vaccine is not going to prevent malaria. WHO had termed the first malaria vaccine in 2021 as a historic effort towards eradicating this dangerous disease. The vaccine, called ‘Mosquirix’, manufactured by GSK, is only about 30 percent effective and requires four doses, and its protection wanes within a few months.

    The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation last year withdrew funding for Mosquirix, saying it was low-impact and the money would be better spent elsewhere. GSK has said that it can produce about 1.5 crore doses of its vaccine in a year, while the Serum Institute of India has said that it can produce up to 20 crore doses of the Oxford vaccine in a year.

In response to this he said, yes, I did that.

    India’s concerns explained to America
    Jaishankar said that the American side shared its assessment of the entire situation and he explained to the Americans the gist of India’s concerns. He said, I think hopefully we will both come away with better information. Tension between India and Canada had increased after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s allegations regarding the possible involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on June 18 in British Columbia. India had declared Nijjar a terrorist in 2020.

The minister alleged that the security situation in Canada is not good. He said that Indian diplomats have been given open threats and they do not feel safe.

For us, it has certainly been a country where there is a mix of organized crime, people smuggling as well as violence, terrorism from India. He said, due to this, visa operations in Canada were also forced to be temporarily suspended. So, as I said, you know, often countries look very different, depending on how you look at them, but there is a problem with Canada.
