India sends ‘lightest satellite’ to space – BBC News
India has launched what it says is the world’s lightest satellite ever to be put into orbit.
Weighing only 1.26kg (2.6lb), the Kalamsat-V2 was made by students belonging to a space education firm.
It will help ham radio operators and “inspire schoolchildren to become the scientists and engineers of the future”, India’s space agency says.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) launched the satellite from its Sriharikota space centre.

A new personalised vaccine given in combination with a drug has stopped skin cancer returning in patients during a trial, representing a potentially watershed moment in cancer treatment. Scientists used mRNA technology, which was used for some Covid-19 vaccines.
But that technology – and vaccines more generally – have become increasingly controversial in the United States since the Covid-19 pandemic. The Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, is a vaccine sceptic.
In August 2025 cancelled $500m (£376m) in funding for mRNA vaccine research. The move impacted 22 projects being led by major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Moderna, for vaccines against bird flu and other viruses, according to Kennedy’s department.
We speak to Tom Whipple, host of the BBC’s Inside Science programme, about the science of this new vaccine. And we ask how funding cuts for vaccine research could impact health outcomes not just for Americans, but for the world.

Historic first as Chinese robot beats Usain Bolt’s 100m world record at Beijing games | BBC News
A Chinese humanoid robot has run 100 metres in 9.39 seconds in a preliminary heat at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, surpassing the men’s world record time held by Jamaican sprinting great Usain Bolt.
Tiangong Ultra, developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, won its heat at the opening of the games’ second edition. The robot overtook smartphone maker Honor’s Lightning near the finish after falling behind early in the race. Lightning finished in 9.47 seconds, also faster than the 9.58-second record Bolt set at the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin.
The results marked a remarkable improvement from last year’s inaugural games, when Tiangong Ultra won the 100 metres in 21.50 seconds. Tiangong also won the world’s first humanoid robot half-marathon, held in Beijing last year.
The 100 metres is among 51 events at the games, which include football, dancing and contests to complete industrial tasks.
China is promoting humanoid robots as a strategic emerging industry, with policymakers and companies betting that advances in AI and hardware will accelerate their use in manufacturing, logistics and consumer applications.
Investor enthusiasm for the sector was underscored recently when shares in Unitree, China’s best-known humanoid robot maker, jumped more than five fold in its Shanghai trading debut, giving the company a market value of about $50 billion.
This year’s games have drawn 2,056 robots from 666 teams across 16 countries and six continents, up from 280 teams at the inaugural event.

There was a time when sleeping was simple – but now, it’s a bit more complicated.
Sleep has rules – there’s the right bedtime, the right temperature, and the right amount of deep sleep.
It’s not just something we do, it’s something we measure.
But is all this number punching actually helping us rest?

Brits here claiming that India is sending rockets with the help of their "peanut" size "aid". Meanwhile these white supremacists are not capacble of sending a golf ball to space on their own.

I had to go way down in the comments section to understand what sort of jealous comments from British people are there. Well I understood couple of things.
1. BBC like always didn't give the clear picture about this launch.
2. The launch was for a army surveillance satellite. ISRO made a space for the Kalamsat (the satellite made by students) and did not charge for it even.
3. India does not run on British aid. Please grow up.
4. India doesn't need British aid. Understand this well. Britain is built on plunders gathered from all around the world during colonial times. Not India.
5. our space program, research institutions, armed forces, democracy won't come to a hault, if you stop your aid.
6. In 2019, India's economy was going to surpass that of UK, pushing UK down to 6th spot. But seems UK has already done that job on our behalf by committing Brexit. We are just 3 months away from becoming larger economy than UK.
7. Go by the rape rate ( statistics as some intelligent people call it), not by the number. You are a tiny little island for us, in terms of population. So it doesn't make any sense to go by the number, rather go by rates and you will see, how safe British women are in UK, compared to Indian women.
8. Those , especially British, who want to lecture on Indian poverty, please have a look at this.
