US slaps TV provider with first-ever space debris fine
US authorities said they have issued a "breakthrough" first-ever fine over space debris, slapping a $150,000 penalty on a TV company that failed to properly dispose of a satellite. On Monday the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) came down on Dish for "failure to properly deorbit" a satellite called EchoStar-7, in orbit since 2002. "This marks a first in space debris enforcement by the Commission, which has stepped up its satellite policy efforts," the FCC, which authorizes space-based telecom services, said in a statement. As the geostationary satellite came to the end of its operational life, Dish had moved it to an altitude lower than the two parties had agreed on, where it "could pose orbital debris concerns," the FCC said. The commission said Dish, a US satellite television provider, pledged in 2012 to elevate the satellite to 300 kilometers (190 miles) above its operational arc. But with fuel running low, it retired the satellite at an altitude just over 120 kilometers above the original arc. "As satellite operations become more prevalent and the space economy accelerates, we must be certain that operators comply with their commitments," said FCC enforcement bureau chief Loyaan Egal. "This is a breakthrough settlement, making very clear the FCC has strong enforcement authority and capability to enforce its vitally important space debris rules." The FCC said the settlement "includes an admission of liability from the company and an agreement to adhere to a compliance plan and pay a penalty of $150,000." In a statement Tuesday, Dish appeared to counter the FCC over disposal requirements, and argued that the commission's enforcement arm made "no specific findings that EchoStar-7 poses any orbital debris safety concerns." "As the Enforcement Bureau recognizes in the settlement, the EchoStar-7 satellite was an older spacecraft that had been explicitly exempted from the FCC's rule requiring a minimum disposal orbit," a Dish spokesperson said in a statement. "DISH has a long track record of safely flying a large satellite fleet and takes seriously its responsibilities as an FCC licensee." Collision risks The US aviation regulator, FAA, recently announced its intention to reduce space debris by requiring private companies to dispose of the upper stages of rocket launch vehicles by, for example, returning them to the Earth's atmosphere or moving them to a less congested "graveyard orbit." The new regulation, which has yet to be definitively adopted, already exists for government space missions. "If left unchecked, the accumulation of orbital debris will increase the risk of collisions and clutter orbits used for human spaceflight and for satellites," the Federal Aviation Administration said. The European Space Agency estimates that around one million pieces of debris larger than a centimeter -- big enough to "disable a spacecraft" -- are in Earth's orbit. They are already causing problems, from a near-miss in January last year involving a Chinese satellite, to a five-millimetre hole knocked into a robotic arm on the International Space Station in 2021. With satellites now crucial for GPS, broadband and banking data, collisions pose significant risks on Earth.

Apple unveils Vision Pro, its first mixed reality headset
Apple on Monday unveiled its first-ever virtual reality headset challenging Facebook-owner Meta in a market that has yet to tempt users beyond videogamers and tech geeks. The release was the most significant product launch by the iconic iPhone maker since it unveiled the Apple Watch in 2015. "Blending digital content with the real world can unlock experiences like nothing we've ever seen," said Apple CEO Tim Cook as he unveiled the Vision Pro, a sleek VR device that resembled ski goggles. The Vision Pro will cost a hefty $3,499 and be available early next year, the company said. The headgear was introduced at the close of an Apple event in Cupertino, California in which the company announced a long list of product updates. Disney partnered with Apple for the headset launch and the Mickey Mouse company teased streaming content from Marvel, Star Wars, and live sports that would be available on the device. "We're so proud to yet again be partnering the greatest storytelling company in the world with the most innovative technology company in the world to bring you real-life magic," said Disney CEO Bob Iger. The Vision Pro would require a lot of computing power and run mainly by being plugged into the wall, with a battery only able to keep the goggles working for two hours. Apple did not deny the gaming audience and said that over 100 Apple Arcade games would be available from the day of release. The device would also put a projection of a user's eyes on an external screen in order to ease interactions with others. The headset has been in development at Apple for years and will focus on gaming, streaming video, and conferencing, as well as health and fitness. "It would be drastic to say that Apple Vision Pro will replace a computer or cellphone in the immediate future," said Rolf Illenberger, founder, and CEO of VRdirect, a software company for virtual reality devices. "But that day will happen soon, most likely starting with those who enjoy having a second or third monitor at their workstations," he added. Collision course The release puts Apple on a collision course with Facebook owner Meta, which had taken a head start on doubling down on virtual worlds, sometimes referred to as the metaverse. Just days before Apple's event, Meta ramped up its line of Quest virtual reality headgear. A new-generation Quest 3 with improved performance and slimmed design will be available later this year at a starting price of $500, Zuckerberg said. The Facebook founder described the coming model as Meta's "most powerful headset yet" and promised it would provide the best wireless way to experience virtual reality. Zuckerberg has been adamant that Meta remains devoted to building a future in which internet life plays out in the metaverse. But Meta's experience with the metaverse has been humbling despite it being a leader in the emergent sector and many questioned whether Apple would in the end jump in. And less than two years after changing its name to Meta to reflect a metaverse priority, the Facebook giant has fired tens of thousands of staff and promised to get back to its social media basics. Apple also unveiled a new 15-inch MacBook Air, offering a large screen to users who are less interested in powerful computing needs. The company also updated its iPhone operating system, with updates that in many cases played catchup with features that exist on Android phones or WhatsApp. The post Apple unveils Vision Pro, its first mixed reality headset appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»

The crash occurred near Balasore, in the eastern state of Odisha, when two passenger trains and a goods train collided.
