Haixing 6000, one of China's underwater robots.  SHENYANG: One of China's underwater robots, the Haixing 6000, recently set a national depth record for a Chinese remotely operated vehicle. The robot drove 6,001 meters below sea surface during its first research expedition, scientists told Xinhua Sunday. Haixing 6000 was developed by a team at the Shenyang Institute of Automation under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is the first remotely operated underwater vehicle built by China that is capable of diving 6,000 meters, said Li Zhigang, chief scientist of the team. It reached a maximum depth of 6,001 meters, and completed a series of underwater tasks in three hours, including deep-sea observation, biological research, soil and water sample collection, and a simulative black box search. At 2,000 meters, the underwater robot completed three sample collections in different sea areas in a single day, obtaining a total of nearly 400 kilograms of rocks...

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s first space mission has been planned for 2022 and the Federal Cabinet has approved this in today’s meeting. An agreement between Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) and a Chinese company has already been signed, Federal Information Minister Ch Fawad Hussain said after the cabinet meeting. Pakistan in July this year launched two of its satellites into the orbit from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in China. The satellites, Pakistan Remote Sensing Satellite-1 (PRSS-1) and Pakistan Technology Evaluation Satellite-1A (PakTES-1A), were propelled into space through the Chinese Long March 2C launch vehicle. The PRSS-1 is to be mainly used in Pakistan for land resources survey, evaluation, dynamic monitoring and management, resource utilisation, environmental disaster monitoring, agricultural survey, and urban construction.

In a first, automobile company Rolls Royce is partnering with Intel in order to build world’s first entirely self-driving ships. Rolls Royce recently announced about the new partnership with Intel to manufacture a full fleet of autonomous cargo vessels that will require no humans onboard and will be completely autonomous. The autonomous system, as explained by Interesting Engineering, is equipped with a huge network full of thermal and HD cameras, radar and LIDAR, satellite data and weather forecasts, all of them controlled by a centralized program. The vision algorithms are what that will help the self-sailing ship to detect obstacles in night time and within busy ports. China will soon make artificial islands by ‘magic’ vessel The luxury car manufacturer, aiming to get the fleet ready by 2025, also introduced the Intelligent Awareness System in one of the crewed vessels this year. In this new partnership, the companies plan to use 3D NAND solid-state drives, ...

In a first, China is planning to launch an ‘artificial moon’ to space that will light up skies and will be brighter than the real moon and also act as streetlight replacement. China is aiming to launch an ‘artificial moon’ by 2020 that will light up skies as far as 50 miles around. The illumination satellite will be deployed over the city of Chengdu and will be eight times as bright as the real moon, casting a ‘dusk-like glow’ over the area, according to People’s Daily. The plan was revealed by Wu Chunfend, chairman of Chengdu Aerospace Science and Technology Microelectronics System Research Institute. The idea has been inspired from a French artist who envisioned a necklace of mirrors hanging over Earth that could reflect sunshine through the streets of Paris all year round. China plans to build ‘palace’ on moon powered by sun When launched, the artificial moon will complement the moon to make Chengdu’s night skies brighter and serve as a replacement to ...
