NASA claims Chandrayaan’s Vikram Had “Hard Landing”

The Chandrayaan 2 lander had a “hard landing” when it lost contact with the ground station during a historic attempt to soft-land on the lunar surface, NASA said today, adding that a team of scientists at the US space agency has not been able to locate it.

“The Chandrayaan-2 lander, Vikram, attempted a landing Sept. 7 (Sept. 6 in the United States), on a small patch of lunar highland smooth plains between Simpelius N and Manzinus C craters. Vikram had a hard landing and the precise location of the spacecraft in the lunar highlands has yet to be determined,” NASA said in a statement and released pictures of the targeted landing site, labeling the craters.

The pictures were captured by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft during its flyby on September 17. The images were taken at dusk, and the team was not able to locate the lander, the US space agency said.

The Chandrayaan 2 lander may be hiding in a shadow, it added. “The scene above was captured from a Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Quickmap fly-around of the targeted landing site image width is about 150 kilometers across the center…so far the LROC team has not been able to locate or image the lander. It was dusk when the landing area was imaged and thus large shadows covered much of the terrain; the Vikram lander may be hiding in a shadow,” the statement said.

The moon orbiter will try to “locate and image the lander” again in October when lighting will be favorable, NASA said.

The deadline to contact Vikram, which had a 14-day mission life, ended on Saturday last as lunar night began to fall in the south polar region of the moon where the lander was attempting a descent.

On Thursday, ISRO chief K Sivan said a national-level commission is investigating “what went wrong with the lander”. “We have got no sign from the lander. A national-level council is now investigating what went wrong with the lander. Maybe after the committees presents the report, we’ll work on the plan. Required approvals and other processes are required. We are operating on that,” Mr Sivan briefed ANI.

“Our upcoming preference is Gaganyaan mission,” the top space scientist in the nation replied.

India had anticipated to make space history with the Rs. 1,000-crore Chandrayaan 2 mission.

Samsung Galaxy A70s pops up in a Google listing

Samsung is expected to reveal its latest “s” upgrade in the popular A-series with the new Galaxy A70s. The device has already passed through Geekbench to show out its specs. Just last week, the phone was spotted on TENAA and its support page even went live for a brief period. Now a new Google Play console listing confirms that the phone will indeed feature an FHD+ display alongside the Snapdragon 675 chipset and 6GB RAM.

Previously we learned the phone will be a minor refresh of the Galaxy A70 but will come with a new prism gradient design around the back like the recently announced Galaxy A30s and A50s. A rumored upgrade is the 64MP Samsung Bright GW1 sensor which would make sense as Samsung has updated the cameras on the other “s” upgrades in the A-series.

Android 10 (Go Edition) With Faster Interface, Higher Security Announced, Launching in Phones This Fall

HIGHLIGHTS

Android 10 (Go Edition) phones will be quicker at app switching
It employs Adiantum cryptography method to encrypt storage
Adiantum bolsters security without affecting the performance

Google has unveiled an updated version of its Android (Go Edition) mobile operating system for entry-level phones based on Android 10. Christened Android 10 (Go Edition), the latest iteration of Android (Go Edition) is claimed to provide a more fluid multitasking experience, all the while making the whole user experience more reliable and faster. Google also claims to have upped the security aspect in Android 10 (Go Edition) in such a way that the performance of devices is not affected. Android 10 (Go Edition) will be out this fall, but there is no word regarding the brands that will launch the first wave of Android 10 (Go Edition) phones.

Android 10 (Go Edition) With Faster Interface, Higher Security Announced, Launching in Phones This Fall

Sagar Kamdar, Director of Product Management (Android) at Google, wrote in a blog post that Android 10 (Go Edition) is aimed at further improving the experience for entry-level phone users. It is claimed to be faster than its previous iteration based on Android Pie, and will let users switch between apps at a faster pace and in a more memory-efficient manner. Notably, Google claims that app launch speed has gone up by 10 percent with Android 10 (Go Edition).

Google also mentions that Android 10 (Go Edition) employs Adiantum, a new encryption format that has been tailor-made for entry-level devices to secure their data without affecting device performance. To recall, Adiantum was introduced as a special encryption method for entry-level smartphones earlier this year. It was designed to make storage encryption more efficient for devices without cryptographic acceleration, which means it does not require special hardware and as a result, won’t create a stress on the silicon inside phones running Android 10 (Go Edition). The arrival of Adiantum, Google claims, brings Android 10 (Go Edition) on par with the standard Android operating system when it comes to data security.

As mentioned above, the Android 10-based version of Android (Go Edition) will arrive in the fall. Google also touted some of Android Go Edition’s unique features and apps such as read-out-loud for listening to long-form text content, Lens in Google Go app, YouTube Go, and Gallery Go as some of the solutions that further enhance the Android experience on entry-level phones in meaningful ways. Google claims that so far, more than 500 manufacturers have launched over 1,600 Android Go-powered phones in 180+ countries within the last 18 months.

As heavy rains lashed the city on Tuesday, two persons died in separate incidents during the downpour. A 23-year-old gym instructor was electrocuted to death in Serilingampally, while a 43-year-old priest fell into a nala in Chaitanyapuri.

According to reports, 23-year-old Adam Mark Jordan who was staying at Manikanta Men’s hostel in Serilingampally was electrocuted while returning from the gym around 11.30 pm on Tuesday.

According to the police report, Adam stepped on an iron rod, which was in contact with a live wire, as he reached the gate of his hostel. Adam reportedly died on the spot.

The Madhapur Sub-Inspector told Times of India, “The incessant rains led to water-logging around his hostel.
