India’s space ambitions for 2026 began with high expectations as the Indian Space Research Organisation  (ISRO) launched the PSLV-C62 mission on January 12, 2026, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota . The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle lifted off at 10:18 am IST, carrying 16 satellites into space. The mission was particularly significant as it included EOS-N1 (Anvesha), a strategic Earth observation satellite developed for the Defence Research and Development Org

Prime Minister Narendra Modi  on Wednesday congratulated the Indian Space Research Organisatio n (ISRO) after the successful launch of the BlueBird Block‑2 communication satellite, calling the mission a “proud milestone” in the country’s expanding space capabilities. The satellite was deployed aboard ISRO’s LVM3‑M6  heavy‑lift rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh , early on December 24, marking another high point in India’s space explorati

India’s space ambitions reached a new high as the Indian Space Research Organisation  (ISRO) successfully launched the BlueBird Block-2 communication satellite, the heaviest foreign satellite ever lifted from Indian soil, aboard its powerful LVM3-M6 launch vehicle. The mission, conducted from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, stands as a defining moment in India’s emergence as a reliable global hub for heavy commercial satellite launches. With this achievement, I

India stands at the threshold of another landmark achievement in space exploration as the Indian Space Research Organisation  (ISRO) prepares to launch its most powerful rocket, the Launch Vehicle Mark-3  (LVM3), popularly known as the ‘Baahubali’ rocket. This mission marks a historic first for the country, as the rocket is set to carry the heaviest satellite ever launched by an Indian launch vehicle, reinforcing India’s growing stature in the global space ecosystem.

India’s Chandrayaan-3  mission has once again pushed the boundaries of lunar science by uncovering unexpected details about the Moon’s south pole. New analyses from the Vikram lander’s instruments show that this region is far more electrically active, dynamic, and scientifically complex than previously imagined. These insights, released recently by ISRO  and confirmed across multiple scientific studies, mark a significant milestone in understanding the Moon’s near-surface env

The Indian Space Research Organisation  (ISRO) is stepping into a futuristic frontier with its exploration of space-based data centres, a concept that could redefine global data processing. A recent response by the Department of Space in the Rajya Sabha confirmed that ISRO’s  preliminary study found the idea technically feasible, prompting the organisation to begin conceptualising a system capable of handling computation and data storage directly in orbit. This marks an ambit

Prime Minister Narendra Modi , in the 128ᵗʰ edition of Mann Ki Baat, placed India’s youth—especially Generation Z —at the heart of the country’s evolving innovation landscape.
