High in the rugged terrains of Ladakh, India's Gaganyaan astronauts are immersed in demanding training amidst the thin mountain air. Mission MITRA, a pioneering partnership between ISRO and IAF, rigorously tests both crew and ground personnel's resilience in stressful scenarios, underpinning the mission's overall success.

Four astronauts are set to launch on a historic lunar mission, marking humanity's return to the Moon after over 50 years. This revival of crewed lunar exploration was significantly fueled by the discovery of water by India's Chandrayaan-1, which reignited global interest and provided crucial scientific justification for future missions.

India's ISRO is planning ambitious future missions, including Chandrayaan-4 for lunar sample return and Chandrayaan-5 with a heavier, longer-lasting lander. Future endeavors also encompass Mars landing and Venus missions, alongside the Gaganyaan human spaceflight program aiming for astronaut launches within two years.

Claiming that commercial wings of space research organisations around the world were growing at a rapid speed, isro chairman AS Kiran Kumar on Friday said Isro should become more economically viable and earn more revenue by exploiting its space programmes commercially.

When Kiran Kumar opted to study Physics in college, he may not have guessed it would change the course of his life and eventually put him in the isro chairman’s post.
