ISRO has rejected speculation that it will be privatised or its role reduced, saying it will remain central to India's space programme. The agency said private firms will scale mature technologies while ISRO focuses on advanced R&D, strategic missions and next-generation space capabilities.
ISRO has successfully launched EOS-05 aboard the GSLV-F17, placing the 2,367-kg Earth observation satellite into its intended orbit. Designed to operate from geosynchronous orbit, EOS-05 will provide frequent imagery to support agriculture, disaster management, and environmental monitoring
NASA-ISRO's NISAR satellite captured a radar image of Antarctica resembling a giant hummingbird. NASA says the shape is a natural illusion that showcases NISAR's advanced capabilities for studying glaciers, climate change and Earth's surface.
Skyroot Aerospace's Vikram-1 successfully entered orbit after launching from Sriharikota, creating history as India's first privately developed orbital rocket. The Mission Aagaman flight showcased advanced indigenous technology and strengthened India's growing private space ambitions.
Skyroot Aerospace has unveiled Vikram-1, India's first privately developed orbital rocket, at Sriharikota. The Mission Aagaman launch is scheduled between July 12 and August 4, aiming to place payloads of up to 350kg into Low Earth Orbit and mark a milestone for India's private space sector.
DRDO successfully conducted three missile flight tests, validating India's multi-layered Ballistic Missile Defence system and a new Naval Anti-Ship Missile. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said the achievement strengthens India's ability to counter long-range missile, aerial and maritime threats.
ISRO has found strong evidence of subsurface water ice beneath the Moon's south pole using Chandrayaan-2 radar data. Scientists detected signs of buried ice inside permanently shadowed craters, especially Faustini crater, a discovery that could support future lunar missions with water, oxygen, fuel
GalaxEye's Mission Drishti, India's largest private Earth observation satellite, has launched aboard SpaceX Falcon 9. The world's first OptoSAR satellite combines EO and SAR sensors for all-weather, day-night imaging across defence, agriculture, disaster and maritime use.
ISRO's Gaganyaan programme is in its final phase, targeting India's first human spaceflight in early 2027. With successful parachute and air drop tests, the mission aims to send a three-member crew into a 400 km orbit, marking a major step in India's space ambitions.
NASA successfully launched the Artemis II mission to the Moon. After 50 years, sending four astronauts on a planned test flight around the moon and back. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap - astronauts on Mars.
In a rare and fascinating cosmic event, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured the dramatic breakup of comet C/2025 K1 ATLAS as it began fragmenting in deep space. Such moments are incredibly difficult to witness, making this observation a significant milestone for astronomers
Scientists warn a powerful El Nino may develop later this year, potentially bringing extreme heatwaves and weaker monsoon rainfall to India while reshaping global weather patterns.
A stunning nighttime image captured from the International Space Station shows the Indian subcontinent glowing with dense networks of city lights, highlighting India's rapid urban growth and electrification from 400 kilometres above Earth.
A long-running scientific debate over the mysterious Silverpit structure beneath the North Sea has finally been resolved. New research confirms the crater was formed by a massive asteroid impact around 43-46 million years ago, likely triggering a powerful tsunami across the region
After nearly 14 years in space, NASA's Van Allen Probe A is set to make a fiery re-entry into Earth's atmosphere on March 11, 2026. The satellite, which completed its mission in 2019, has been drifting in a graveyard orbit before its final descent.
