The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is poised to achieve a remarkable milestone with the upcoming launch of a Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle (GSLV) mission in January, which will mark the 100th launch from the Sriharikota spaceport. This achievement comes after the successful launch of PSLV-C60 on Monday, which placed two spacecraft into orbit for the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX).

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to launch Europe’s Proba-3 mission on December 4, 2024, aimed at enhancing solar research and expanding our understanding of space weather. The launch will take place at ISRO’s Sriharikota spaceport in Andhra Pradesh, with the mission’s primary objective to study the Sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona, and its impact on space weather.

Elon Musk's SpaceX has successfully launched the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) GSAT-N2 communication satellite, marking a significant milestone in the growing commercial collaboration between ISRO and SpaceX. The launch took place on Tuesday from the Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, with SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket carrying the advanced satellite into space.

SpaceX, the space exploration company founded by Elon Musk, has secured a major contract with India’s space agency, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), to launch the GSAT-20 communications satellite. The satellite, which weighs 4,700 kilograms, is too heavy for India’s domestic rockets to carry, making SpaceX the ideal candidate for the task. The launch is set to take place early next week from Cape Canaveral in the United States aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up for the launch of its meteorological satellite INSAT-3DS on February 17, aiming to bolster meteorological observations and improve weather forecasting and disaster warning capabilities.

India's space agency, ISRO, is set to launch its heavy communications satellite, GSAT-20, using SpaceX's Falcon-9 heavy lift launcher, marking the first time ISRO will rely on SpaceX for such a mission. This move highlights India's lack of a rocket capable of lifting big communication satellites and signifies a shift from its reliance on Arianespace for heavy satellite launches.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has unveiled a captivating 3D 'anaglyph' image of the Moon's surface captured from the Chandrayaan-3 Vikram lander, just a day after announcing the lander's entry into sleep mode. This vivid image provides a unique perspective, inviting viewers to explore the lunar landscape in three dimensions.

ISRO's Pragyan rover confirms sulphur's presence on the lunar surface near the south pole and detects other elements through Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscope measurements. The pursuit of lunar secrets continues, as the rover investigates hydrogen presence while exploring the moon's uncharted territories.

India's Pragyan rover, part of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, has been rerouted after encountering a sizable crater on the lunar surface. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) swiftly responded, ensuring the rover's safety and continued mission to explore the uncharted region near the Moon's South Pole. With its successful soft landing and ongoing scientific objectives, India reaffirms its space exploration capabilities on the global stage.

ISRO's social media post revealing Chandrayaan-3 lander captured by Chandrayaan-2 orbiter gets deleted shortly after sharing. The article discusses the significance of the high-resolution photographs, ISRO's lunar exploration progress, and recent achievements in the Indian space program.
