            Summary of Today’s News<\/strong><\/h2>\n

            Monsoon hits Kerala and Northeast India simultaneously<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

            \"Monsoon
            \n\u2022 The southwest monsoon set in over Kerala on Thursday, May 30, two days ahead of its usual onset date of June 1, and a day before the forecast date of May 31, as reported by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Unusually, the monsoon simultaneously began over northeastern India, influenced by Cyclone Remal, reaching Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, and most parts of Tripura, Meghalaya, and Assam on May 30.
            \n\u2022 The monsoon system, consisting of the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal branches, typically merges over Central India and lasts until September. Such early onset in northeastern India has been recorded only a few times since 1990, including in 1991, 1995, 1997, 2017, and now 2024. The IMD uses specific criteria and a dedicated weather model to forecast the monsoon, and this year’s forecast predicted the arrival accurately within an error window of four days.<\/p>\n

            \n\u2022 Agnikul Cosmos Private Ltd., a space start-up based in Chennai, successfully launched the world’s first rocket with a single-piece 3D-printed engine, named Agnibaan Sub Orbital Technology Demonstrator (SOrTeD), from Sriharikota at 7.15 a.m. on Thursday. This launch marks several significant milestones: it is India’s first launch from a private launchpad, ‘Dhanush,’ established by Agnikul, and it is also India’s first semi-cryogenic engine-powered rocket launch. Additionally, it is the world\u2019s first rocket to feature a single-piece 3D-printed engine designed and built indigenously.
            \n\u2022 The primary objective of this mission was to test in-house technologies, gather critical flight data, and ensure the proper functioning of systems for Agnikul\u2019s future orbital launch vehicle, the \u2018Agnibaan.\u2019 The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) recognized this achievement as a major milestone, highlighting the successful controlled flight of a semi-cryogenic liquid engine created through additive manufacturing. The launch was initially scheduled for April 7 but was postponed due to technical issues.<\/p>\n
