- Aditya-L1 is India’s first mission dedicated to studying the Sun. The successful initiation of this mission represents a major step forward in understanding solar activities and their impact on space weather.
- Gaganyaan mission, though still in progress, has achieved several milestones, including the development of indigenous crew modules, environmental control and life support systems, and astronaut training programs.
- While still in the planning stages, the Mangalyaan-2 mission builds on the success of Mangalyaan (Mars Orbiter Mission), which made India the first Asian nation to reach Martian orbit and the fourth space agency in the world to do so. The continuation of this mission underscores ISRO’s commitment to planetary exploration.
- NISAR represents a significant achievement in international collaboration, combining ISRO’s and NASA’s expertise to create a highly advanced Earth observation satellite.
