The Indian space program, managed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), focuses on developing and deploying satellites for communication, weather forecasting, navigation, and scientific research. It aims to promote technological innovation and support socio-economic growth. Notable achievements include the successful launch of the Mars Orbiter Mission, making India the first Asian country to reach Mars orbit, and cost-effective satellite launches using the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). The program balances scientific exploration with practical applications, fostering self-reliance and international collaboration in space technology.
