The latest mission of BlueBird Block-2 significantly boosts India’s space ambitions and makes it possible to capture a larger chunk of the commercial space sector

ISRO is set to launch its heaviest communication satellite, CMS-03, weighing 4,410 kg, onboard the LVM3-M5 rocket from Sriharikota on Sunday. The mission aims to provide multi-band communication services across India and nearby oceanic regions

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has invited proposals from the scientific community to analyse Chandrayaan-3 lander and rover data. The datasets, released publicly in August 2024, include findings on lunar seismicity, thermo-physical properties, plasma environment, and elemental composition.

The latest analysis of data from one of the instruments aboard Chandrayaan-3 that had successfully soft-landed in August 2023 reveals the presence of water ice outside the Moon’s polar regions

ISRO has introduced Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) activities for organising interactive video sessions with space scientists, facilities for students to present their creative imaginations, virtual museum and space quiz to test their knowledge

“Greetings on the first National Space Day,” PM Modi posted on X.com. He praised the efforts of India's space scientists and highlighted the nation’s achievements in the space sector. “Today is also a time to honor the contributions of our space scientists,” he added.

The President's address will first be aired in Hindi, followed by an English version, and then regional language broadcasts. In her address to the nation on the eve of the 77th Independence Day, President Murmu praised the country's resilience during challenging times, noting that it has also been a beacon of hope for others.

The Space Foundation's annual Space Symposium in Colorado saw the presentation of the award on April 8. DC Manjunath, Consul General of India in Houston, accepted the honor on behalf of ISRO's Chandrayaan team.

The approval was granted on March 19 following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement following the mission's success on August 26, 2023.

About 12,000 students from 120 colleges from across the country are participating in over 175 events, being organized as part of the fest.

"LUPEX will also be a precursor to the country's ambitious lunar sample return mission and human missions on Moon by 2040," the space scientist said.

As humanity, we need to take a moment to assess our priorities to make the right choices

The Aditya mission, the first by an Asian country to be placed in orbit around the Sun, is expected to contribute significantly to our understanding of solar dynamics and enhance our ability to predict space weather phenomena.

The tendency towards greater control of scientific and other educational institutions is a regressive step

From the Israel-Hamas war to Russia’s grinding battles against Ukraine, 2023 has shown the dangers of armed conflicts breaking out into region-wide combat

YouTube India has recently revealed its top 15 most-watched videos and Chandrayaan-3, India’s ambitious moon mission, topped the list of most-watched videos on YouTube in 2023

"The historic success of Chandrayaan-3 headlined news events, with the skyrocketing journey out of space sparking local and worldwide searches," Google said in a blogpost.

For the Propulsion Module, the main objective was to ferry the lander module from the GTO to the final lunar polar circular orbit and separate the lander, ISRO said

This rocket body was part of the LVM-3 M4 launch vehicle, it said. It re-entered the Earth's atmosphere around 14:42 IST on November 15.

ISRO reports that the cryogenic upper stage of the LVM3 rocket, which transported the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft, re-entered Earth's atmosphere without control.
