India is set to unlock the next phase of its space revolution with the finalization of the Space Activities Bill, which aims to empower the private sector, strengthen regulatory oversight, and boost India’s space economy to $44 billion by 2033. The bill represents a foundational shift in space

On May 18, 2025, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) encountered a major setback when its PSLV-C61 mission failed to place the EOS-09 satellite into its intended orbit. The mission, launched at 5:59 AM IST from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, progressed nominally through the first two stages. However, an anomaly during the […]

ISRO Chairman V. Narayanan has declared that 2027 will mark a milestone year in India’s space journey with the simultaneous execution of two high-profile missions: Chandrayaan-4, India’s first-ever lunar sample return mission, and Gaganyaan, its maiden human spaceflight initiative. The announcement was made during his address at the Central Tool Room and Training Centre

NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have issued a serious warning about a powerful solar storm that could affect global communications and power systems. On May 14, an X2.7-class solar flare erupted from sunspot AR4087 — the strongest solar event recorded in 2025 so far. This flare caused temporary radio blackouts across […]

India’s aspirations of establishing its own space station have received a significant boost, as US-based space startup Vast has formally invited the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to collaborate on its 2026 Haven-1 mission. The offer includes a seat aboard the first commercial space station module and marks a notable moment in Indo-US space cooperation. […]

On May 18, 2025, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched its 101st mission with the PSLV-C61 rocket, aiming to place the Earth Observation Satellite EOS-09 into orbit.
