Washington NASA’s Curiosity Rover has started working on a rock on Mars since early March. It is named Mont Mercou.The 6-meter-high rock is taken by Rover in a selfie. In the selfie, the rover is seen in front of the rock and the new drill hole is also seen on Nontron, a sample rock. This is the 30th sample of the rover.
This selfie is made up of 60 photographs taken by Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI). It is mounted on the rover’s robotic arm. These photos were mixed with 11 photos taken from Mastcam.Earlier, Rover’s Mastcam also took some panorama photos.
Curiosity transformed the sample into powder after taking it and kept it safe.With their help, the team will study the structure of the rock and try to find out how the history of Mars was. Mont Mercou is a place in France near the village named Nontron. On Mars, scientists found the clay mineral Nontronite which is found in Nontron. That is why this place was named after Nontron.
A few days ago Curiosity sent a video of Mars clouds. These views were captured in the cameras mounted on him.Eight new photos showed five-minute views from the navigation camera’s eye. They were seen moving like the clouds of the earth. These were shared by Scientist Paul Brynern of North Carolina State University.
This new bacterium found from the space station, along with the growth of the plant, provides plants with the ability to fight disease.According to the researchers, this bacterium can also prove to be helpful in growing crops in space. Although not much research has been done about this yet Although not much research has been done about this yet, if this thing proves to be true, then research will also be done on growing crops in Mars with the help of this bacteria.
New Delhi: Two researchers from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) have made a major announcement.He said that a new species of bacteria has been discovered in the samples collected from the International Space Station (ISS).It is being speculated that this species of new bacteria can help us a lot in the mission of space.However, now only further research will be able to tell how much these bacteria will be able to help humans.
Naming will be done in the name of an Indian scientist Researchers Kasturi Venkateswaran and Nitin Kumar Singh (Researchers Kasturi Venkateswaran and Nitin Kumar Singh) from the University of Hyderabad researchers working with NASA reported that they had a total of 4 bacteria in the samples.These bacteria belong to the family Methylobacteriaceae. One of these four bacteria is Batteria, named Methylorubrum rhodesianum,Has already been discovered. The remaining three bacteria are completely new. According to both the researchers, the name of this new bacterium is being named as methylorubrum ajmalii after Dr. Ajmal Khan, the biodiversity scientist of India.

Justin Maki, NASA Perservere imaging scientist and instrument operations team chief, reveals a full panorama the rover captured from the surface of Mars
The video clip showed the deployment of the parachute and the rover’s touchdown on the surface of the Red Planet
The U.S. space agency NASA on Monday released the first audio from Mars, a faint crackling recording of a gust of wind captured by the Perseverance rover
NASA also released the first video of last week’s landing of the rover, which is on a mission to search for signs of past life on the Red Planet.
A microphone did not work during the rover’s descent to the surface, but it was able to capture audio once it landed on Mars.
NASA engineers played a 60-second recording
What you hear there 10 seconds in is an actual wind gust on the surface of Mars picked up by the microphone and sent back to us here on Earth,” said Dave Gruel, lead engineer for the camera and microphone system on Perseverance.
The high-definition video clip, lasting three minutes and 25 seconds, shows the deployment of a red-and-white parachute with a 70.5-foot-wide (21.5-meter-wide) canopy.
It shows the heat shield dropping away after protecting Perseverance during its entry into the Martian atmosphere and the rover’s touchdown in a cloud of dust in the Jezero Crater just north of the Red Planet’s equator.
“This is the first time we’ve ever been able to capture an event like the landing on Mars,” said Michael Watkins, director of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managing the mission.
“These are really amazing videos,” Mr. Watkins said. “We binge-watched them all weekend.”
Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA’s associate administrator for science, said the video of Perseverance’s descent is “the closest you can get to landing on Mars without putting on a pressure suit.”
Perseverance is healthy’ Jessica Samuels, Perseverance’s surface mission manager, said the rover was operating as expected so far and engineers were conducting an intensive check of its systems and instruments.
“I am happy to report that Perseverance is healthy and is continuing with activities as we have been planning them,” Ms. Samuels said.
She said the team was preparing for a flight by the rover’s small helicopter drone dubbed Ingenuity.
“The team is still evaluating,” she said. “We have not locked in a site yet.”
Ingenuity will attempt the first powered flight on another planet and will have to achieve lift in an atmosphere that is just one percent the density of Earth’s.
Perseverance was launched on July 30, 2020 and landed on the surface of Mars on Thursday.
Its prime mission will last just over two years but it is likely to remain operational well beyond that. Its predecessor Curiosity is still functioning eight years after landing on Mars.
Over the coming years, Perseverance will attempt to collect 30 rock and soil samples in sealed tubes to be sent back to Earth sometime in the 2030s for lab analysis.
About the size of an SUV, the craft weighs a ton, is equipped with a seven-foot-long robotic arm, has 19 cameras, two microphones and a suite of cutting-edge instruments.
Mars was warmer and wetter in its distant past, and while previous exploration has determined the planet was habitable, Perseverance is tasked with determining whether it was actually inhabited.
It will begin drilling its first samples in summer, and along the way it will deploy new instruments to scan for organic matter, map chemical composition and zap rocks with a laser to study the vapor.
One experiment involves an instrument that can convert oxygen from Mars’ primarily carbon dioxide atmosphere, much like a plant.
The idea is that humans eventually won’t need to carry their own oxygen on hypothetical future trips, which is crucial for rocket fuel as well as for breathing.
The rover is only the fifth to set its wheels down on Mars. The feat was first accomplished in 1997, and all of them have been American.
The United States is preparing for an eventual human mission to the planet, though planning remains very preliminary.
India will go ahead with a complete ban on investment in cryptocurrencies, while providing existing investors a transition period to exit their holdings.
Cryptocurrency isn’t fiat currency backed by the Reserve Bank of India and its usage in all forms will be banned through the new law that will be introduced in Parliament.
This would include a ban on transacting directly via foreign exchanges.
Seven million investors hold cryptocurrencies in India worth more than one billion dollars. The ban won’t be enforced overnight and cryptocurrency investors will be given a transition period of three-to-six months after the implementation of the new law to liquidate their investments. The proposed ban — is part of a comprehensive bill on crypto and digital currencies. It may be introduced in the ongoing budget session of parliament.
Does this mean the end of the road for cryptocurrencies in India?
Not really, the bill may include certain exceptions. They could allow the promotion of the underlying technology. Like block chain, the decentralized digital ledger.
That drives — all types of cryptocurrencies.
An exception like this could provide the legal framework for the reserve bank of India to launch its official digital currency. China has a similar regulatory regime. It effectively banned trading and usage of cryptocurrencies in 2017.
Crypto exchanges were shut down. Last year; Beijing began testing its own digital currency in four cities. India’s move to regulate digital cash comes at a time — when the world is increasingly adopting it.
MasterCard and Visa have opened their payments network for some cryptocurrencies.
Customers using these platforms can now pay or accept money through crypto. Recently, auto giant Tesla made a big bet on bitcoin.
The company bought more 1.5 billion dollars worth of bitcoin.
It also allowed customers to pay through bitcoin for its products. Cryptocurrencies are now part of the mainstream global financial system.
India cannot afford to ignore this shift but it needs a legal framework first.
The Indian government is reportedly considering taking “the ordinance route” to quickly pass the cryptocurrency bill. “The government is of the firm view that they want to introduce the law within a month of clearance of the ordinance,” a local news outlet detailed.
Indian Government Seeks to Quickly Pass Crypto Bill
All eyes are on what the government of India will do with the cryptocurrency bill that is listed to be introduced in the current session of parliament. The bill seeks to ban cryptocurrencies while creating a framework for the official digital currency to be issued by the central bank, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
On Friday, CNBC-TV18 reported that “The government may take the ordinance route to pass the Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill,” citing unnamed sources. The news outlet elaborated:
The PMO, Finance Ministry, and Cabinet
The PMO, Finance Ministry, and Cabinet Secretariat have started preparing the draft details of the ordinance. The government is of the firm view that they want to introduce the law within a month of clearance of the ordinance
“They want this bill to be cleared as soon as possible,” reporter Timsy Jaipuria noted. She added that “the cabinet is understood to have given clearance to this particular proposal that this bill can be introduced via an ordinance route in its last meeting which was held on Feb. 3.”
Ordinances are promulgated by the president of India on the recommendation of the Union Cabinet. They have the same effect as an Act of Parliament. Ordinances can only be issued when Parliament is not in session, enabling the government to take immediate legislative action. The current Budget session began on Jan. 29 and will end on April 8. It is held in two phases; the first phase will end on Feb. 13 and the second will start on March 8.
The cryptocurrency bill could resemble the one drafted by an interministerial committee (IMC) headed by former Finance Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg, who has now resigned from the government. Recently, the Minister of State for Finance Anurag Thakur answered some crypto questions in Rajya Sabha, the upper house of India’s parliament, clarifying the government’s stance on cryptocurrency and the digital rupee.
There are still many unanswered questions about the bill the government is planning to introduce and many are just waiting for the bill to become public. Meanwhile, the Indian crypto industry has launched a campaign to convince the government not to impose a ban on cryptocurrencies.
