India’s space program (ISRO)

India's space program, led by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), began in the 1960s. It aims to advance space technology for national development and enhance global space cooperation. ISRO has achieved significant milestones, including launching satellites for communication, weather forecasting, and Earth observation. Notable accomplishments include the successful Mars Orbiter Mission in 2013, which made India the first Asian nation to reach Mars. ISRO also focuses on cost-effective launch technologies and has gained recognition for its reliable satellite launches and ambitious future missions, including plans for crewed space travel and interplanetary exploration.
