How ISRO is making India a global leader in space exploration and technology.

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) has emerged as a global leader in space exploration, achieving remarkable feats with a fraction of the budget of other space agencies. From Mars missions to moon landings, India's space program is reaching for the stars.

Historic Achievements

The Mangalyaan mission made India the first Asian nation to reach Mars orbit and the first country to succeed on its maiden attempt. Chandrayaan missions have made groundbreaking discoveries about the Moon, including confirming water ice at the poles.

Cost-Effective Innovation

ISRO's Mangalyaan cost less than the Hollywood movie "Gravity." This frugal innovation approach, combined with indigenous technology development, has made India a preferred partner for satellite launches worldwide.

"The sky is not the limit for India's space program; it's just the beginning."

With plans for Gaganyaan (human spaceflight), Venus missions, and commercial space ventures, ISRO continues to inspire millions and demonstrate India's technological prowess.
