4. china`s fastest bullet train makes its debut run.
China`s indigenous next generation bullet train, with a maximum speed of 400 kilometer per hour, made its debut today on the country`s busiest Beijing-Shanghai line. `Fuxing`, a CR400AF model, boasts a top speed of 400 kilometres per hour and a consistent speed of 350 kilometres an hour.
`Fuxing` or rejuvenation departed Beijing South Railway Station at 11:05 am for Shanghai. At the same time, another CR400AF model left Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station for Beijing.
The new bullet trains, also known as electric multiple units (EMU), took about five hours and 45 minutes to reach Shanghai. On its way, it stopped by 10 stations, including Jinan, Shandong province and Tianjin.
The Beijing-Shanghai line is the country`s busiest route used by 50,5000 passengers daily.
The train was designed and manufactured by China, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
It includes a sophisticated monitoring system that constantly checks its performance and automatically slows the train in case of emergencies or abnormal conditions.
A remote data-transmission system, a control centre will be able to monitor the train in real time, the report said.
Lu Dongfu, general manager of China Railway Corporation, operator of the new train, said `Fuxing`, underpins the unique role that high-speed railway has played in China`s economic and social development.
Previous bullet trains featured the characters `Hexiehao` (harmony) on the exterior of each train.
China has the world`s longest railway network with 22,000 kilometres by the end of last year, about 60 per cent of the world`s total.

5. ISRO successfully launches GSAT-17 Satellite.
ISRO has successfully launched GSAT-17 communication Satellite onboard the Ariane-5 launch vehicle from the Guiana Space Center at French Guiana on June 28. GSAT-17 will be the ISRO’s third satellite that is launched within a span of three months.
The 3,477-kg GSAT 17 communication satellite will be placed in the geostationary orbit and will have a mission life of 15 years. The satellite will be an addition to the current fleet of 17 Indian communication satellites that are already providing services from space.
Apart from providing communication services, the satellite will provide meteorological and satellite-based data to help rescue services which were earlier provided by geostationary satellites called Indian National Satellite System (INSAT).
GSAT-17 will provide continuity of services of operational satellites in C, extended C and S bands Once launched, ISRO’s Master Control Facility at Hassan in Karnataka and Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh will take over and place the satellite in geostationary orbit. GSAT-17 was designed and assembled at the ISRO Satellite Centre in Bengaluru.
