New Delhi, July 26, 2023 –

The much-anticipated event titled “Evidence of cure for incurable” was held at the LTG Auditorium, located at Copernicus Marg, opposite Doordarshan Bhawan, Mandi House. Organized by prominent figure Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury, the event witnessed the presentation of astonishing medical recoveries from patients previously deemed to have incurable diseases.

The gathering of medical professionals, researchers, and patients was also live telecasted on www.coronakaal.tv, Sudarshan News, and Saadhna TV, reaching millions worldwide.

The event was centered around the success stories of patients who had experienced remarkable recoveries from seemingly incurable ailments. A couple of patients shared their journeys to health and presented their medical reports and evidence supporting their extraordinary transformations.

Pathan Abdul Gaffur, who received treatment at Parul Hospital in Baroda, recounted his experience of enduring 2-3 dialysis sessions due to his condition. However, through the innovative approach adopted by Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury, Gaffur’s health took an unexpected turn for the better, defying the odds of his initial prognosis.

Laxmi’s story echoed similar sentiments, as she had undergone 2-3 dialysis sessions at Maharana Bhupal Hospital in Udaipur before embracing the groundbreaking treatment that led to her incredible recovery.

Vikas Gupta, a patient at BL Kapoor Hospital in New Delhi, expressed his gratitude while sharing his experience. Gupta underwent ten cycles of immunotherapy as part of the innovative treatment approach introduced by Acharya Manish Ji. Remarkably, Vikas Gupta’s journey was devoid of any discomforts, a testament to the effectiveness and patient-centric nature of the groundbreaking therapy.

Bebi Manik Deshmukh, who had ovarian cancer, connected via a Zoom call to narrate her inspiring story. Deshmukh received treatment at Lodha Multispeciality Hospital in Raigarh, where she underwent the transformative medical approach. Throughout her treatment journey, she experienced no discomfort, further highlighting the potential of Acharya Manish Ji’s groundbreaking method in tackling challenging cancer cases.

Shabana’s testimonial from Bapuji Hospital in Karnataka revealed the success of her treatment, which involved 2 dialysis sessions, and how the groundbreaking methodology changed her life for the better.

During the event, Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury launched the much-awaited book titled “Fish Tank Model for Heart Care.” The book extensively documented the evidence and methodology behind the breakthrough approach that has been transforming the lives of countless patients worldwide.

Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury, renowned for his academic accomplishments with a Bachelor’s degree in Production Engineering, a Post Graduate degree in Diabetes, and a PhD in Diabetes & CKD, is also the inventor of the groundbreaking GRAD* system. He said, “Today marks a momentous occasion where we challenge the notion of incurability and showcase the power of innovative medical approaches. The recoveries of these remarkable patients stand as evidence that with the right knowledge and methodologies, we can conquer diseases once deemed insurmountable. Our Fish Tank Model for Heart Care, along with the GRAD* system, has opened new horizons in the realm of medical treatments. Let this day be a beacon of hope for those seeking healing from seemingly incurable ailments.”

Everyone must get health insurance as Ayush cover does not work in all Ayurvedic hospitals, which government must address at the earliest. Asia’s biggest Ayurvedic Hospital, HIIMS, is in Meerut with a bed capacity of 1000 beds. The Chandigarh, Lucknow, and Mumbai facilities have 100 and 150 beds respectively.

The event culminated with a sense of hope and optimism as the remarkable recoveries and groundbreaking approach offered promising prospects for countless patients worldwide. The research presented during the event is expected to shape the future of medical treatments, providing new avenues of hope for those in need.

In 2022, for the first time in history, the private sector launched more tonnage into space than the world’s governments, and SpaceX’s Starlink broadband constellation is the most important reason why.

SpaceX’s broadband satellites had to change trajectory more than 25,000 times between December 2022 and May 2023 to avoid potential collisions, double the number of maneuvers in the previous six months .

Since 2019, the total number of maneuvers has exceeded 50,000 movements.

According to ESA estimates in its latest Space Environment Report, low-Earth orbit will be cluttered with more than 50,000 objects larger than 10 cm by 2100.

“By combining advanced detection capabilities with cutting-edge data analysis techniques, Share My Space enables proactive measures to be launched to protect satellite operations. This valuable information enables satellite operators and space agencies to make informed decisions on avoidance maneuvers and mission planning, while avoiding unnecessary energy-intensive operations” – Alexis Petit, CTO of Share My Space.

Share My Space, a young space company with a vision for Europe and the world.

Share My Space, a young French entreprise pioneering the space security ecosystem, envisions a bold future for the world in space through the use of independent, reliable commercial data for space surveillance. Faced with the growing challenges posed by the increasing number of satellites, rocket launches and the large amount of debris in orbit, the need for independent, reliable data is fundamental. Share My Space’s orbital information techniques, powered by state-of-the-art sensors, enable accurate and efficient tracking, monitoring and protection of space assets.

Founded in 2017, Share My Space has been selected by the France 2030 investment plan in the space sector. The company’s patented technologies include the MTOS, a multi-telescope observation station. Share My Space has two MTOS stations in France and one in Morocco, with a future target of six operational MTOS stations.

By actively monitoring space debris and collision risks, Share My Space helps satellite operators and space agencies to manage threats and adjust orbital trajectories. Protecting space assets not only ensures the provision of essential services, but also avoids disruptions that can have serious economic and societal consequences. Share My Space’s commitment to safeguarding space assets plays an essential role in ensuring a prosperous and secure future for Europe, with increased strategic autonomy.

Romain Lucken, co-founder and CEO of Share My Space, regularly refers to the political will to regulate Space: “There is public awareness and support for regulating Space, and regulations are being discussed and monitored internationally – Share My Space has become one of the promoters of this regulation for better management of space traffic in Europe and worldwide. We make this possible by observing and analyzing data, so that regulators can finally understand what’s going on up there. This service enables satellite operators to resolve anomalies and anticipate collisions”.

The process for meeting this challenge has already been identified. First, detection services identify objects of concern so that they can be tracked. Next, satellite and launch vehicle operators use this data to protect existing assets and limit pollution. Finally, in-orbit service providers reduce existing risks and remove the most problematic objects. Share My Space actively participates in the first two aspects of this action, thanks to its proprietary sensors and orbital information system. Share My Space also supports active debris removal services. Share My Space’s mission is to protect space assets and guarantee the viability of space operations.

Share My Space multi-telescope observation stations are a modular optical system that enables the detection, tracking and characterization of all space objects in view, in all orbits. Thanks to powerful on-board processing algorithms, it constantly scans the sky.

How does it work?

Our system consists of 4 passive telescopes, located at the same observation site, rotating synchronously. Their rotation speed is coordinated with the transit time of objects in the field of view to ensure that all space objects are detected, even at low altitudes of up to 300 km.Each telescope has its own remote-controlled mount, meaning that all 4 telescopes can also be controlled independently to further track and characterize specific objects.

Monitoring patterns can be modified throughout the night to capture objects in the most efficient way. Precise preliminary orbits are obtained using just a few images captured within seconds of each other. We exploit this data to obtain precise orbit estimates and detect maneuvers.

Our multi-source system catalog provides daily orbital data on a range of space objects, including measurements, preliminary orbits, adjusted orbits and potential orbital maneuver detection. Our catalog also includes information such as the visible magnitude and rotation speed of certain objects. As the number of stations and the size of telescopes increase, so does the size of our catalog.

ESA and the “zero debris” approach.

The “zero debris” approach was proposed to the ESA Council at ministerial level in 2022, and received strong support from member states. This new objective is a key element in the successful implementation of ESA’s Agenda 2025 and the new PROTECT gas pedal. The “zero debris” approach reinforces ESA’s efforts within the framework of the space security program and the associated “Clean Space” initiative.

The “zero debris” approach describes a series of actions and initiatives designed to help ESA take a strategic and proactive approach to safeguarding our space environment for future generations.

Zero debris: the need to meet stricter and more ambitious requirements for space debris reduction.

The world-leading “zero debris” approach will not only protect satellite operations and the safety of human life on Earth, but also ensure that all nations enjoy the benefits of space activities for many years to come.

In practice, this means cleaning up and keeping clean our precious space environment, and reducing the impact of our activities on the environment. The Agency is now inviting all European space professionals to discuss the latest developments, best practices and trends in the fields of eco-design of space activities, end-of-life management of space missions and in-orbit servicing, including the disposal of active debris.

Clean Space Industry Days (CSID) 2023 is a must-attend event for all space professionals and enthusiasts working on the design and realization of sustainable space missions! This year’s event will take place from October 16 to 20 at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.

Rennes, France –  On January 4, 2023, Unseenlabs—world leader in space-based RF detection for Maritime Domain Awareness—successfully launched its eighth satellite dedicated to the geolocation of vessels at sea from space.

The Rimac Nevera, already the fastest accelerating production car in the world and the production EV with the highest verified top speed, is now also the fastest electric production car to have ever taken on the famous Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb as well as the fastest overall production car this year. In the Supercar Shootout on the final day of the event, the Nevera set a time of 49.32 seconds.

The car – fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires – was driven throughout the weekend by Bugatti Rimac Chief Test and Development Driver, Miroslav Zrnčević, who famously spent most of his time on the hill in Nevera during 2022 sideways, in smoky drifts through every corner. But for 2023, the focus wasn’t just on putting on a show, it was on setting a record.

“Taking on the narrow hillclimb at Goodwood, with its tight corners and off-camber sections, is actually one of the scariest places to drive a car quickly. But this is the record-setting year for the Nevera, and Goodwood hillclimb was yet another challenge to conquer. With tens of thousands watching on-site and millions more online, there’s a fine-line between glory and a trip into the hay bales, but I’m so happy to have showcased the incredible work of the design and engineering teams with another verified record for this revolutionary car,” Miroslav Zrnčević, Chief Test and Development Driver, Bugatti Rimac

Throughout the Festival, Rimac Automobili hosted VIPs and customers at its track-side hospitality pavilion, and welcomed guests to join Miro in the car for the hill runs, able to experience for themselves the blistering speed and ability of a car that has been named Top Gear’s Best Electric Performance car, won a Robb Report Best of the Best Award and a GQ Hypercar of the Year.

Throughout the three days of the event, the Nevera wore a livery created by the Rimac design team, inspired by the Rimac BMW e-M3, the brainchild of Mate Rimac and the car that inspired Mate to create Rimac Automobili. Back in 2011, the e-M3 thrust Rimac into the limelight by setting a number of Guinness and FIA-approved all-electric speed records. And now history repeats itself. This livery was first debuted on the Nevera that broke 23 acceleration and performance records in a single day earlier in 2023.

Key to the Nevera’s speed is its advanced battery system, powertrain and software, all developed in-house at the Rimac Group. The front and rear powertrains – each composed of two individual motors – provide power to each wheel individually. At the rear, a 1MW dual inverter enables 900Nm and 470kW per motor, while an entirely bespoke front powertrain is designed to deliver optimum power and control. All systems are overseen by a complex web of in-house developed electronic control units, working in conjunction with an NVIDIA Pegasus-based supercomputer to calculate and send output to the four powertrain systems 100 times a second. The combination of all these systems, and the software that controls them, is known as Rimac All-Wheel Torque Vectoring 2.

The Rimac Nevera is limited to 150 examples and it is currently being built on the outskirts of Zagreb, with deliveries ongoing to customers all over the world.
