PM Modi launches Indian Space Association, has Bharti Airtel, L&T as founding members
Indian Prime Minister Modi will launch the Indian Space Association (ISpA) on Monday. According to Prime Minister Modi’s official tweet, the virtual inauguration ceremony will be held at 11 am. At that time, he will also interact with representatives of the aerospace industry.
“Tomorrow at 11 am, October 11th, I will join the initiative to launch the Indian Space Association. I am very happy to have the opportunity to interact with the major stakeholders in the industry. Those interested in space and the world of innovation must see Tomorrow Show,” Prime Minister Modi wrote on Twitter. The Prime Minister’s Office stated in a press release that ISpA is the premier industry association for aerospace and satellite companies, and it aspires to be the collective spokesperson for the Indian aerospace industry.
“It will conduct policy advocacy and engage with all stakeholders in the Indian space sector, including the government and its agencies,” it added. The founding members of ISpA include Larson & Toubro, Nelco (Tata Group), OneWeb, Bharti Airtel, Mapmyindia, Walchandnagar Industries and Ananth Technology Limited. The press release added that other core members include Godrej, Hughes India, Azista-BST Aerospace Private Limited, BEL, Centum Electronics and Maxar India. In recent years, India has made considerable progress in the field of space research. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has also conducted multiple launches, although Covid-19 has affected the schedule of some of these space missions.
According to senior ISRO officials, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the country’s first solar mission will begin in early 2020 and is likely to be launched in the third quarter of 2022. The agency will also launch India’s second space observatory, Xposat, next year. Before the pandemic, the space agency plans to conduct 20 launches in the 2020-21 fiscal year, including the first unmanned flight under the Gaganyaan mission. The Gaganyaan mission may also be executed at the end of 2022 or early 2023.

Sinwar’s death has been celebrated by Israel as well as its key allies, the US and France.
After Sinwar’s death Israeli prime minister Netanyahu released a video statement, where he stated, “Today we have settled the score. Today evil has been dealt a blow but our task has still not been completed.”
U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller called Sinwar the “chief obstacle” to ending the war and expressed hope for more headway in the peace process.
French president Emmanuel Macron has also expressed the hope that hostages will be returned now that the political head of the militant organisation is dead.
However, Iran, has stated that the death of Sinwar will only serve as a catalyst for further resistance against Israel.
The Hezbollah also proclaimed that after the death of Sinwar they were going to “transition to a new and escalating phase in the confrontation with Israel.”
