IRISET, the Indian Railways’ premier signalling and telecommunication training institute in Tarnaka, will celebrate its 68th Annual Day on November 24. ISRO Chairman Dr V. Narayanan will deliver the keynote address, with senior railway officials also participating

India will begin manned deep-sea trials next year as NIOT scientists pilot the indigenous Matsya-6000 submersible to 500 metres. The Samudrayaan project aims for a 6,000-metre dive by 2027, positioning India among a select group of deep-ocean exploration nations

ISRO Chairman V Narayanan announced that the space agency plans to transfer 50 per cent of PSLV development to an Indian industry consortium led by HAL and L&T. The move highlights India’s growing private sector role in space manufacturing and launches

The successful launch of the 4,410 kg CMS-03, the heaviest communication satellite to date, is a major leap in India's space journey, boosting naval communication and showcasing advanced indigenous technology

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

ISRO Chairman V Narayanan said 90 per cent of the Gaganyaan mission’s development is complete. Three uncrewed missions, including Vyommitra’s flight, will precede the crewed launch planned for early 2027, following successful air-drop tests of the crew module’s parachute system

A fire broke out at ISRO’s IT server building in Ahmedabad, causing damage to computers and critical servers. No casualties were reported, and employees were safely evacuated. Preliminary reports point to a short circuit, and an internal inquiry is underway.

In a landmark study, ISRO has confirmed the first-ever direct observation of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) from the Sun impacting the Moon’s exosphere. The findings, published in Geophysical Research Letters, offer vital insights for future lunar missions and the design of sustainable human habitats on the Moon.

ISRO chief Narayanan said India aims to land astronauts on the Moon by 2040, with its Gaganyaan human spaceflight mission set for 2027. He detailed upcoming projects including a space station by 2035 and a Venus orbiter mission

Hydrogen will be central to India’s space, transport, and clean energy future, ISRO Chairman Dr. V Narayanan said at a national workshop in Bengaluru. He highlighted advances in cryogenic engines, hydrogen fuel cells, and collaborations with industry for sustainable mobility

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.

ISRO has outlined a four-decade roadmap to establish human presence beyond Earth, including a lunar crew station by 2047, Moon mining, 3D-printed Martian habitats, and upgraded rockets capable of carrying 150-tonne payloads, paving the way for Mars landings

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh hailed the Gaganyaan mission as a milestone in Atmanirbhar Bharat, felicitating astronauts Shubhanshu Shukla, Prasanth Nair, Ajit Krishnan, and Angad Pratap. He said India is prepared for human spaceflight, describing the astronauts as “gems” of national aspirations

ISRO successfully conducted the first Integrated Air Drop Test (IADT-01) of the Gaganyaan mission’s parachute system near Sriharikota, validating a key safety mechanism for crew module recovery. The project, India’s first human spaceflight programme, will also include precursor unmanned missions

IAF Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, the first Indian on the ISS, said his 18-day mission was for 140 crore Indians. He credited ISRO, the government, and citizens, and said the experience will boost India’s upcoming Gaganyaan human spaceflight programme

ISRO Chairman V Narayanan announced plans to launch a 75,000 kg payload satellite using a 40-storey rocket, build a 52-tonne space station by 2035, and triple India’s satellites in orbit, while unveiling projects during Osmania University’s 84th convocation

ISRO chief V Narayanan announced plans for a 40-storey rocket capable of launching 75,000 kg into low Earth orbit. Upcoming missions include NAVIC, N1 rocket, GSAT-7R for the Navy, and US satellite launch, alongside tripling India’s satellite fleet by 2029

Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, India’s second spacefarer, returned home to a grand welcome in Delhi after his historic ISS mission under Axiom-4. Welcomed by leaders, family, and crowds, Shukla will meet PM Modi and join National Space Day celebrations later this month

ISRO will launch the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite aboard GSLV-F16 on July 30 from Sriharikota. The dual-frequency radar satellite will enable 24x7 Earth observation, aiding disaster management, climate monitoring, and natural resource tracking. Gaganyaan’s humanoid test mission is set for December
