A detailed scale model of the Indra GSAT-300 multi-mission satellite is showcased at the Indra pavilion during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026. The satellite is designed for secure government and commercial communications and features an advanced Software Defined Radio (SDR) payload. It is equipped with a high-resolution multispectral optical instrument capable of 30-centimeter ground sampling distance. The system is powered by the Indra On-Board Processor (OBP) v4, based on a radiation-hardened dual-core LEON4 architecture, enabling real-time AI-based image processing and autonomous debris avoidance. The demonstration highlights Indra's contribution to the IRIS (Infrastructure for Resilience, Interconnectivity and Security by Satellite) constellation, utilizing Ka-band and optical laser links for ultra-secure, low-latency data transmission. The model showcases the satellite's modular design and its integration with 5G-Non-Terrestrial Networks (5G-NTN), providing seamless global connectivity for IoT and mission-critical applications in remote areas.

A high-fidelity scale model of a next-generation Low Earth Orbit (LEO) multi-mission satellite is displayed at the Space Communications zone during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026. This unit represents advancements in 5G-Advanced Non-Terrestrial Networks (5G-NTN), designed to provide seamless direct-to-cell connectivity and high-speed backhaul for remote areas. The platform is powered by a radiation-hardened dual-core LEON4 on-board processor combined with a specialized FPGA-based Neural Processing Unit for edge AI data filtering. The satellite features a modular payload including a high-resolution multispectral optical sensor with a 30-centimeter ground sampling distance, supported by a 50-megapixel CMOS imaging system for earth observation. Its communication suite utilizes a Software Defined Radio architecture capable of handling Ka-band and Q/V-band frequencies, integrated with optical laser links for ultra-secure inter-satellite data relay. The demonstration highlights the convergence of terrestrial and space-based infrastructure, enabling global IoT coverage and emergency telecommunications via standard smartphone devices.

Professor Robin Coningham, UNESCO Chair on Archaeological Ethics and Practice in Cultural Heritage at Durham University and co-director of the excavations, attends a press conference in Kathmandu, Nepal, on February 11, 2026. A collaborative team of national and international experts from the Department of Archaeology, Government of Nepal, Lumbini Development Trust, and Durham University's UNESCO Chair uncovers Nepal's first example of an apsidal Buddhist temple within the ancient city of Tilaurakot-Kapilavastu, one of the best-preserved Early Historic cities and hinterlands in South Asia. A clear category of temple in South Asia, they are called apsidal as they have a curved end wall that defines the religious focus of the monument, with an entrance platform at the other end. The earliest known examples are cut into rock, with later monuments constructed out of stone, timber, or brick. The monument revealed at Tilaurakot-Kapilavastu, the first discovered in Nepal, follows this exact layout but is unusual in its location. It is a rare example of an apsidal temple constructed within a city rather than in a separate religious complex. The newly discovered apsidal structure is built near the center of the city of Tilaurakot-Kapilavastu over the remains of the city's earlier palatial complex. This central walled complex defines an area of 100 by 100 meters through a massive brick wall measuring 1.5 meters wide. After its abandonment, the complex becomes a focus for veneration, with Buddhist monasteries built over its ruined monumental walls. It is within the courtyard of one of these monasteries that the apsidal temple is built, enshrining and respecting an earlier Buddhist stupa within the earlier monastery.
