India marked 61 years of its space program, recalling the launch of the Nike-Apache rocket in 1963 from Thumba, Kerala.

This launch laid the foundation for ISRO’s mastery in solid propellant technology.

Scientific Achievements

India joined the Square Kilometre Array Observatory to contribute to the world’s largest radio telescope.

Researchers from Aditya-L1 published findings on coronal mass ejections, crucial for satellite and communication safety.

Agreements between the Departments of Space and Biotechnology will enable biological experiments on the upcoming Bharatiya Antariksh Station.
