THE PROJECT

Antriksh is a single-minded attempt to give India's space programme the kind of web presence it has always deserved. Not a news feed. Not a government portal. Something built to make you feel what sixty years of relentless scientific ambition actually looks like.

Every mission documented. Every rocket dissected. Every scientist remembered by name. Forty-one satellites tracked live overhead. The full history of ISRO — from a borrowed coconut-tree antenna in Thumba to a soft landing on the Moon's south pole — laid out the way it deserves to be told.

Antriksh was built with no frameworks, no teams, no budget. Just vanilla JavaScript, Three.js, real orbital mechanics, and a stubborn belief that Indian space science is one of the great stories of the 20th and 21st centuries — and that story should be told beautifully.

"Space, for us, is not a luxury. It is a necessity." — Vikram Sarabhai, 1962

EXPLORE

41 NASA and ISRO satellites rendered live in 3D. Real orbital mechanics, real TLE data, real-time imagery layers from NASA GIBS and ISRO MOSDAC.

30+ missions documented in depth — filterable by category, status, and era. From Aryabhata in 1975 to Gaganyaan in 2028.

Sixty years of ISRO's journey, laid out event by event. 1963 Nike-Apache rocket to the 2035 Bharatiya Antariksh Station.

PSLV, LVM3, SSLV — full technical specs, stage diagrams, thrust figures, and the story of how each vehicle was built.

Twelve scientists and leaders who built India's space programme — their work, their words, their impact on the world.

Orbital mechanics, rocket propulsion, space careers, and a full glossary — explained simply, built for curious minds.

ISRO reaches for the stars; this is my way of making sure we never lose sight of how they got there.
