India rocket launches space docking mission

December 30, 2024

India launched a rocket December 30 carrying two small spacecraft to test docking in space, a critical step for the country's dreams of a space station and a manned Moon mission.

The mission is "vital for India's future space ambitions", Jitendra Singh, the country's science and technology minister, said in a statement ahead of the launch, which was broadcast live by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced plans last year to send a man to the Moon by 2040.

The PSLV-C60 rocket, which blasted off Monday evening at the Sriharikota launch site with shooting flames as it soared into the night sky, included two 220-kilogramme (485-pound) satellites.

ISRO has dubbed the mission SpaDeX, or Space Docking Experiment.

"PSLV-C60 successfully launches SpaDeX and 24 payloads," it said in a statement.

The mission is intended to "develop and demonstrate the technology needed for rendezvous, docking, and undocking of two small spacecraft", it added.

The technology is "essential" for India's Moon plans, it added, calling it a "key technology for future human spaceflight and satellite servicing missions".

It will involve a "precision rendezvous", manoeuvering satellites orbiting Earth at speeds of 28,800 kilometres per hour (17,895 miles per hour).

Their relative velocities will be reduced to 0.036 kph to "merge to form a single unit in Space", ISRO said.

The world's most populous nation has a comparatively low-budget aerospace programme that is rapidly closing in on the milestones set by global space powers.

"Through this mission, India is marching towards becoming the fourth country in the world to have space docking technology," ISRO added, after Russia, the United States and China.

The world's most populous country has flexed its spacefaring ambitions in the last decade with its space programme growing considerably in size and momentum, matching the achievements of established powers at a much cheaper price tag.

In August 2023, it became just the fourth nation to land an unmanned craft on the Moon after Russia, the United States and China.

MicrowaeRord ;qet tŒ×e9gtfor copper and carbon black

By Michael Franco OueembeoI !ttiroyQew technique quickly and cheaply carbonizes the PVC insulation on wires like these, leaving behind undamaged copper

The new technique quickly and cheaply carbonizes the PVC insulation on wires like these, leaving behind undamaged copper

Italian and Japanese researchers have developed a novel method to free copper wire from its PVC coating, by treating electric cables with microwaves. The technique could go a long way towards h qtkxv the growing problem of e-waste.

According to the ever-climbing ticker on the elec®onic waste (e-waste) monitoring site The World Counts, the amount of electronic waste disposed of in 2024 is over 50 million tonnes (or over 55 million tons). Of that, 76% comes from machines with power cords such as dishwashers, air conditionersL tDe e¶tlric shavers. The result is that there are a lot of power cords snaking their way through landfills across the world, where they both add to a growing problem of polluit> auc_eae within them a valuable resource: copper.

Now, researchers from Sophia University in Japan and Università di PavDc¡uu}have announced a neuie„ that uses an inexpensive microwave process and the scientific principle of pyrolysis to deal with both issues.

Pyrolysis refers to using high temperatures to turn solids into a gas and a solid residue. This process typically takes place in an inert, or oxygen-free environment.

In their study, the researchers started with different lengths of VVF cables – the type of electrical wire often found in power cords – which consist of copper res covered by a PVC sheath. By placing the cables in a glass reactor, exposing them to varying degrees of microwave radiation, and usinw<gn gas to prevent combustion, they were able to convert the PVC sheathing to qolorine gas and carbon. The copper was left behind to be harvested and reused.

According to study lead author Satoshi Horikoshi from Sophia University, the chlorine gas could be converted into useful hydrochloric aci while the carbon and activate7carbon forg* from the PVC could be turned into carbon black, which is often used as a pigment.

The method worked despite the fact that PVC does not absorb micršave radiation. Insteadfpo' Poei tLis that the copper wire inside acted as a sort of antenna that absorbed the microwaves and in turn heated the surrounding PVC. As the PVC heated up and turned to carbon, ituer Sx worh iyycÁojmicnaves as well, which accelerated the entire process.

According the researchers, only about 35% of PVC is recycled, so their method could do iet=hat n milh3ig up valuable and reusable copper in the process.

"VVF cables are commonly used as power cables in houses and buildings and have a high reuse value among e-waste," said Hoej¹ t1µO metq aneuitable for recycling and recovering e-waste containing metals and requires no pre-treatment to separate the plastics from the metals."

Horikoshi's technique joins other methods of dealing with e-waste we've seen, including using whey frr tkvo0âr gold from electronics; flash-h9ting ground-up circuit boards and theueaOjPqa2ÿ them to recover other precious metqts; and using a cryo-miÁ freeze electronics to separate out potentially reusable resources.

The new study has been published in the journal, RSC Advances.

Byron H. Robb’s Pertinacious Gall Got Him Evicted From Cincinnati And Honored In Texas

In the long and sordid roster of Queen City scalawags, Byron H. Robb holds a prominent place. He was delightfully incorrigible, congenitally incapable of telling the truth and absolutely unrepentant when exposed.

Robb fabricated so consistently that it is often difficult to separate any facts from the overwhelming flood of mendacity in his wake. It appears that he was born around 1836 in or near Parkman, Ohio, a tiny hamlet east of Cleveland and northwest of Youngstown. His parents named him Harvey, but he found that name uninspiring and relegated it to a middle initial. He began calling himself Byron, after the British poet.

At the age of 19, Robb launched a lifelong career as a bamboozler, selling a concoction guaranteed to produce luscious curls when applied to the scalp. At least one unfortunate customer went totally bald when she saturated her hair with the stuff. He got into the oil business by purchasing a dry well, then pouring oil stolen from nearby tanks into it. He then fobbed the now “productive” rig onto some credulous farmer. During the Civil War, Robb raised a cavalry company he dubbed the “Geauga Rangers” and offered it for service, claiming the rank of lieutenant on the basis of his own fabricated experience as a Texas Ranger. The United States Army wasn’t that desperate.

Among Robb’s myriad victims was Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Mrs. Stowe ordered some “mammoth gourd seeds” from Robb to plant at her winter home in Florida. Robb claimed these seeds yielded gigantic gourds that could be used as washtubs. When her first shipment failed to sprout, Mrs. Stowe ordered another, and sent a letter inquiring what she had done wrong!

At various times, Robb popped up in St. Louis, New Orleans and a number of other locales, usually one step ahead of the law. When the constabulary sniffed too close to his fraudulent enterprises, Robb would “rent” another man’s name and resume business under that appellation until the coast was clear. During the 1860s, Robb paid a gardener named William Chappell $25 annually so he could advertise yet another hair tonic under the “Chappell’s Hyperion” brand.

It was reported that Robb dumped his first wife by encouraging her interest in another man. Robb sent her to Indiana to secure a divorce while he romanced an employee who would become the second Mrs. Robb.

Around 1875, Robb rented a house in Bellevue, Kentucky, establishing his business offices in Cincinnati. Entries in the city directories for the next half-dozen years indicate the constant churn of his schemes. At first, he listed himself as a “general agent,” which covered a multitude of sins. Next, he became the proprietor of the Monitor Manufacturing Company, then manager of the Monitor Lamp & Glass Works, and then President of the American and European Secret Service Company, then manager of the Electro Magnetic Hair and Flesh Brush Company.

Interestingly, at least two of these companies had some basis in actual inventions patented by Robb. In 1877, Robb was awarded a patent for a device that extinguished a kerosene lamp if it was knocked over. In 1879 and 1880, he earned patents for “galvanic” hairbrushes. Unfortunately, Robb preferred fraud to manufacturing. People who ordered his lamps often got nothing at all, while customers of his galvanic brushes received nothing but a cheap comb with a bit of copper wire wrapped around it.

It was his “Secret Service” company that achieved the pinnacle of Robb’s infamy. The American and European Secret Service Company placed hundreds of advertisements throughout the United States, offering to enlist any correspondent as a bona-fide detective, complete with a frameable certificate and a shiny new badge for the low, low price of only $3.60. After paying this fee, applicants were advised to keep their day jobs in order to remain undercover until an assignment came up. Young men throughout the country signed up in abundance – many of them career criminals who believed that an appointment as a detective offered a credible alibi. There are reports of bushels of mail arriving every day at Robb’s Fifth Street office, half containing money orders for $3.60 and half containing dunning letters from newspapers that were never paid for running Robb’s advertisements.

Eventually the postal inspectors caught up with Robb and he was subpoenaed to court. Robb procured the cream of the Cincinnati bar for his defense, including Stanley Matthews, later appointed to the United States Supreme Court, and George Hoadly, later elected governor of Ohio. His lawyers reviewed the evidence collected by the Post Office and informed Robb that he was undoubtedly going to lose the case. His best option was to plead guilty and throw himself on the mercy of the court.

Robb responded by firing his crack legal team. He then sent telegrams to a dozen or so of his “detectives,” directing them to take the next train westward, to proceed to some remote location and to apprehend a red-headed, one-eyed man missing one finger and walking with a limp. The young operatives, delighted to finally be on assignment, followed orders and reported back that no such man could be found. Robb thanked them for their diligence, paid their salary and expenses and told his proteges to await their next assignment.

In court, Robb produced several of these young men as witnesses. They testified under oath that they had applied to the Secret Service Company, paid the initiation fee, received their badge and certificate, and had received an assignment from Robb and had been paid for it. The Post Office case crumbled. No matter they could prove nothing in court, the United States Postmaster announced in 1880 that nine Cincinnati companies controlled by Robb were prohibited from using the postal service in any manner.

Byron H. Robb responded to this temporary setback with his usual flair. First, he went to court and had his name legally changed to Byron H. Van Raub, claiming it was the ancestral version of the family surname. Then he relocated to Texas and acquired some property he claimed was the famous Don Carlos Ranch, which it was not, and then got into the Shetland Pony business, and then the cowboy school business, and then the bloodhound dog business, and then the Buff Leghorn egg business and then the milch goat business. And he had the nearest Bexar County railroad whistle stop renamed Van Raub, after himself.

Every time Robb, or Van Raub, embarked on some new scam, newspapers around the country published scathing exposés of his extensive rap sheet. Newspaper owners were delighted to attack him because the one constant in Robb’s career was his reluctance to pay for advertising. Still, there was always someone willing to believe his folderol. One newspaper, reporting that Van Raub was seeking young men willing to become cowboys (and willing to send him $5.00 for particulars – sound familiar?) claimed he was a retired Prussian cavalry officer who insisted on stern discipline. When Robb died in 1913, the obituaries included some highly unlikely embellishments such as selling Shetland ponies to European nobility.

Amazingly, Robb’s bullshit endures to this very day. Out where Van Raub, Texas, once existed – by the 1920s, his namesake was nothing more than a ghost town – there is an official historic marker that reads in part:

“This community, named after Byron Van Raub, an English gentlemen rancher, was established along the route of the Kerrville Branch. It is said that this successful gentleman rancher developed the first dude ranch in Texas as a means to train fellow Englishman in the rigors of creating successful Texas ranching operations.”

The shifty little shyster from rural Ohio got himself memorialized as an English gentleman, capping a positively breathtaking life of unrelenting chutzpah.

Copper Scrap Price Trend: What’s Driving the Market in 2025

The global demand for copper continues to surge in 2025, and copper scrap is playing an increasingly vital role in meeting industrial and environmental goals. As industries shift toward sustainability and cost efficiency, scrap copper pricing is being closely watched by recyclers, manufacturers, and investors. Understanding the broader copper scrap price trend and reviewing data like the Copper Scrap Price Graph is essential for navigating today’s volatile metals market.

Why Copper Scrap Pricing Matters

Copper is a critical material in modern infrastructure, electronics, and green energy systems. What makes copper even more valuable is that it can be recycled repeatedly without any loss in performance. As a result, scrap copper isn't just waste—it's a vital commodity.

The price of copper scrap directly affects:

Recycling profitability

Manufacturing input costs

Supply chain sustainability

Commodity trading strategies

Tracking price trends helps all stakeholders make better decisions—whether it's when to sell, buy, or invest.

Key Drivers of the Copper Scrap Price Trend in 2025

Several global factors are influencing scrap copper prices this year, making 2025 a pivotal time for the market.

1. Green Energy and EV Boom

The global transition toward electric vehicles (EVs), solar energy, and wind power is dramatically increasing demand for copper. An EV contains nearly four times more copper than a gasoline-powered car. Copper is also vital in solar panels, charging stations, power lines, and battery storage systems.

This shift is driving up the price of both primary and secondary copper (scrap), especially as clean tech demand continues to outpace supply.

2. Tight Raw Copper Supply

Copper mining operations are facing higher extraction costs, geopolitical instability, and stricter environmental regulations. As fewer new mines come online, the industry turns more heavily toward recycled copper to meet demand. This limited supply of virgin copper directly boosts demand—and price—for scrap copper.

3. Regulatory Changes in Global Trade

Countries like China, India, and the EU have introduced new regulations aimed at improving the quality of imported scrap. China’s "Green Fence" and "National Sword" initiatives, for example, limit imports to higher-purity grades only. These regulations:

Increase processing costs

Reduce global availability of exportable scrap

Shift trade patterns and pricing

4. Technological Advancements in Recycling

Modern recycling plants use AI, robotics, and advanced electrochemical processes to improve scrap quality. These upgrades enable facilities to produce cleaner, higher-grade copper scrap that can compete with virgin copper—often at a lower cost.

With cleaner scrap in circulation, demand for quality secondary copper is rising, further lifting its market value.

5. Investor Sentiment and Speculation

Copper is seen as a barometer of industrial health. Investors closely watch copper markets for signs of economic expansion or contraction. In 2025, scrap copper is also attracting speculative interest due to:

Inflation hedging strategies

Expectations of long-term growth in demand

Global infrastructure spending

This financial speculation adds to price volatility, especially in the short term.

Many recycling centres offer cash for items like cardboard and scrap metal, meaning you can declutter your home or business while making money simultaneously. Maximising these opportunities can turn a simple recycling task into a profitable venture.

Steps to Effective Cardboard Recycling

Cardboard is one of the most common materials that often end up in landfills. Think about the sheer volume of cardboard boxes delivered daily to homes and businesses. Instead of throwing them away, consider the benefits of cardboard recycling in Melbourne.

Collect Your Cardboard: Start by designating a space in your home or office for collecting cardboard. This could be a simple bin or a designated area.

Research Local Facilities: Look for recycling facilities in Melbourne that specialise in cardboard recycling Melbourne. Some may offer to pay for your collected cardboard, making it an even more attractive option.

Flatten Boxes: Always flatten your cardboard boxes before taking them to a recycling centre to maximise space and increase their value. This not only makes transportation easier but can also lead to better pricing.

Stay Updated on Market Trends: The market for recycled cardboard can fluctuate. Monitor current pricing trends to ensure you get the best deal possible.

Recycling cardboard has additional environmental benefits. It reduces the need for deforestation and helps conserve water and energy used in the manufacturing process. Plus, anyone can take an easy step, making it a great starting point for those new to recycling.

Strategies for Securing the Best Scrap Metal Prices 

Scrap metal is another area where waste can be turned into wealth. There's a market for these materials, whether it’s old appliances like refrigerators and washing machines, car parts, or miscellaneous metal scraps like aluminium cans or copper wires.

Identify Valuable Metals: Not all metals are created equal. Familiarize yourself with the different types of scrap metal. Non-ferrous metals like copper and aluminum typically fetch higher prices than ferrous metals.

Sort Your Scrap Properly: To achieve the best scrap metal prices in Melbourne, take the time to sort your metals. Separate ferrous from non-ferrous, and categorise items based on type. This step can significantly enhance your profits.

Find Reliable Buyers: Some scrap yards offer different prices. Research local scrap buyers in Melbourne to compare prices. Read reviews to find trustworthy facilities that provide fair compensation.

Monitor Market Conditions: Like cardboard, scrap metal prices fluctuate based on market demand. If you notice high prices, it’s an excellent time to sell. Conversely, if prices are low, consider waiting for a better opportunity.

Building a relationship with a reliable scrap metal buyer is not just about making a sale. It's about gaining a strategic advantage. They may inform you about upcoming price increases or changes in demand, giving you a strategic advantage. This knowledge can make the audience feel empowered and knowledgeable about the process.

Creative Ways to Upcycle

Beyond traditional recycling, upcycling is a fantastic way to creatively repurpose waste materials. Upcycling involves taking items that would otherwise be thrown away and finding new uses for them. This not only minimises waste but can also add unique touches to your home or business.

Fun Upcycling Ideas

Cardboard Creations: Use cardboard recycling to make artistic creations or functional furniture. When assembled correctly, cardboard can be surprisingly sturdy.

Metal Art: Use old metal parts to create decorative garden sculptures or home decor. Upcycling metal can result in unique pieces that reflect your style.

DIY Planters: Old cans and bottles can be transformed into charming planters. This adds a personal touch to your garden while keeping waste out of landfills.

Conclusion

Transforming waste into wealth is not just a savvy financial move; it's a vital contribution to environmental sustainability. By exploring opportunities like cardboard recycling in Melbourne, you’re making choices that benefit your wallet and the planet.

As you embark on this recycling journey, remember that every small step counts. Furthermore, seeking the best scrap metal prices in Melbourne allows you to optimise your efforts and maximise your returns. Start by collecting your cardboard, sorting your metals, and seeking the best buyers. By taking these steps, you can make a significant difference in your community and the environment
