Missions like Axiom-4 can ignite scientific curiosity in youth — but India must invest more in science education and research to nurture indigenous talent

NISAR, a joint initiative of ISRO and NASA to launch the first Earth-observing satellite mission, demonstrates the country’s prowess in the space exploration sector

Axiom-4 shows that India is no longer just launching payloads but also launching people and ideas into space

A bomb threat to ISRO’s Sriharikota launch centre triggered a massive security response, involving CISF, Coast Guard, and police teams. After intense searches, the threat was declared a hoax. The alert follows recent security drills amid regional tensions

Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla will fly to the International Space Station on June 19 aboard Axiom Space’s Ax-04 mission. He will conduct crucial biotech experiments in space, marking a major milestone as India’s first astronaut to reach the ISS.

Serving as the mission pilot of the Axiom-4 commercial mission to ISS, he will be joined by mission commander Peggy Whitson and mission specialists Tibor Kapu from Hungary and Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski from Poland. The mission marks India's return to space after 41 years since Rakesh Sharma's historic spaceflight onboard Russia's Soyuz mission in 1984

The Gaganyaan Programme, approved in December 2018, envisages human spaceflight to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and establishing technologies required for a long-term Indian human space exploration endeavour.

ISRO on Sunday failed to put its earth observation satellite in orbit after its trusted PSLV rocket developed a fault minutes after launch from the spaceport here

The malfunction led to the mission failure, and the satellite could not be successfully deployed.

ISRO Chairman V. Narayanan on Sunday said that 10 satellites are continuously working round-the-clock for the strategic purpose to ensure the safety and security of the citizens of the country
