马斯克要下场了？可能与市场预期的有一些差距！ 一位高级官员向TechCrunch证实，印度电信部当地时间周三批准Starlink（星链）开始在印度开展合规工作。Starlink 现在必须提交文件证明其符合许可要求。 尽管如此，印度政府的最新举措无疑是对马斯克的欢迎，马斯克长期以来一直希望在印度推出Starlink，以扩大其用 户群。印度人口超过14亿，这对于Starlink或任何其他以不同方式销售互联网连接的公司来说，都是一个诱人的市 场。 大约两个月前，印度电信运营商Airtel和Reliance Jio宣布与SpaceX合作，在印度推出Starlink高速互联网服务。然而， Starlink的推出计划并非通过这些合作就能直接实施，因为Starlink需要获得独立的监管部门批准。 2022年，SpaceX因在未获得必要许可的情况下在印度推出Starlink服务而受到谴责。印度政府指责该公司在未获得必 要许可的情况下"预订/提供卫星互联网服务"，导致该公司不得不退还设备预订款。 然而，由于马斯克与特朗普关系密切，Starlink项目的环境如今发生了变化。据报道，Starlink项目还被用作对那些准 备与美国进 ...

中新网5月4日电据美国《纽约时报》等外媒近日报道，美国政府提出了一项削减美国国家航空航天局 (NASA)预算约60亿美元的计划。同时，该计划还将为火星探测项目引入10亿美元的投资。 报道称，美国政府的新预算提案显示，NASA今后的任务，几乎只专注于把人送上月球和火星。这意味 着，NASA接下来将减少在太空科学、地球观测等诸多项目的研究资金，把重心全部转向这两项目标。 根据美国政府的最新预算草案，NASA下财年将获得188亿美元拨款，较当前年度的248亿美元缩减约 24%。 美国消费者新闻与商业频道(CNBC)指出，NASA公布的文件称，将为月球探索拨款超过70亿美元， 并"为以火星为重点的项目引入10亿美元的新投资"。 《纽约时报》指出，这一转向也与太空技术探索公司(SpaceX)创始人马斯克的愿景高度契合。 NASA还表示，该机构将需要"精简"其劳动力、信息技术服务、设施维护等，并终止多个"负担不起"的 任务，同时为了"财政责任"减少科学任务。 美国行星协会太空政策负责人德雷尔指出，如果该预算案获得通过，"这将是美国历史上NASA面临的 最大单年预算削减……这项预算的信号是：美国将不再引领全球太空事业，我们 ...

Core Viewpoint - The China National Space Administration (CNSA) has approved international applications for lunar samples from the Chang'e 5 mission, allowing seven institutions from six countries, including two U.S. universities, to borrow these samples. However, U.S. researchers face restrictions due to the "Wolf Amendment," which prohibits NASA funding for projects involving Chinese lunar samples [1][6][7]. Group 1: International Collaboration - The approved institutions include the University of Brown and Stony Brook University, both receiving NASA funding, but they cannot use these funds for research on the Chinese samples due to the "Wolf Amendment" [1][6]. - Timothy Glotch from Stony Brook University expressed gratitude for funding from his institution to collaborate with Chinese scientists, indicating a willingness to analyze the samples despite the restrictions [3][4]. - CNSA Administrator Zhang Zhongde emphasized the importance of sharing lunar research for the benefit of humanity, stating that the Chang'e program is open to international collaboration [6][8]. Group 2: Research Objectives - Glotch aims to compare the properties of lunar soil and rock samples with those from the Apollo program, focusing on thermal properties and magnetic characteristics to understand the geological history of the Moon [4][6]. - The research will involve examining ultra-thin rock slices under high magnification to uncover clues about the origin and composition of the rocks, contributing to a better understanding of lunar geology [4][6]. Group 3: U.S.-China Relations in Space - The "Wolf Amendment" has hindered U.S. scientists' access to Chinese lunar samples and vice versa, with Chinese scientists facing difficulties in obtaining Apollo samples from NASA [4][7]. - There have been ongoing discussions between U.S. and Chinese space officials regarding the sharing of lunar samples, but U.S. institutions still face significant domestic obstacles to receiving the samples [7][8]. - Wu Weiren, a prominent figure in China's lunar exploration program, criticized the U.S. for its isolationist policies and expressed a desire for more open communication and collaboration in space exploration [8].
