Credit XPRIZE Foundation As the $20 million NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE comes to a close in Wyoming, Gov. Mark Gordon has offered up the state to once again host an XPRIZE competition, public records acquired by Wyoming Public Media show. The offer followed a cryptic Jan. 21 tweet from Elon Musk, CEO and founder of Tesla, which read: "Am donating $100M towards a prize for best carbon capture technology." The tweet sparked a conversation in the Governor's office of how to best be a part of the effort. Discussion resulted in a letter sent Jan. 27 to the non-profit XPRIZE Foundation to pass along...

"Performance of the Command and Control system, onboard avionics and aerodynamic configuration of the missile was successfully validated," the statement read. The Akash-NG system has been developed with better deployability compared to other similar systems with canisterized launcher and much smaller ground system footprint. The test launch was carried out by a combined team of DRDO, BDL & BEL in the presence of the representatives of Indian Air Force. The successful maiden test of surface-to-air Akash-NG assumed significance as it came a few days after the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Mi...
