India's
Missions

India's first crewed orbital spacecraft. Three astronauts to 400km orbit for 3 days. The mission that defines a generation.

India's first solar observatory at Lagrange Point 1 — continuously studying the Sun's corona, solar winds, and space weather.

First nation to land on Moon's south pole. Discovered sulfur, moonquakes, and evidence of water ice. Vikram lander. Pragyan rover.

The orbiter continues mapping the Moon from above, with 8 scientific instruments still operational — far exceeding its planned mission life.

First Asian nation to reach Mars. First attempt globally to succeed. Built in 15 months. Cost less than the film Gravity. India's Mars moment.

India's first lunar mission. Discovered water molecules on the Moon's surface — one of the most significant lunar discoveries in decades.

India's own GPS system — 7 satellites providing accurate positioning across India and 1,500 km beyond its borders. India's independent navigation.

Second-generation NavIC satellite launched January 24, 2025. Adds L1 band for global receiver compatibility. Indigenous atomic clocks. Replaces IRNSS-1E at 111.75°E GSO.

Joint ISRO-NASA synthetic aperture radar satellite. Maps Earth's surface every 12 days. Tracks disasters, ice sheets, ecosystem changes globally.

India's first X-ray polarimetry mission. Studies pulsars, black holes, and active galactic nuclei in a way no other observatory has before.

India's most ambitious lunar mission — land, collect samples from the Moon's surface, and return them to Earth. A first for India.

India's own space station — planned for 2028–2035. 20 tonnes. 400 km orbit. Astronauts staying for 15–20 days in microgravity.

World record — 104 satellites launched in a single rocket in one go. A record that stunned the entire world and redefined ISRO's capabilities.

India's very first satellite — named after the ancient mathematician. Launched by the Soviet Union. The moment India became a spacefaring nation.

India's first experimental communication satellite — famously transported to the launch site on a bullock cart. A symbol of India's jugaad spirit in space.

First satellite launched by India's own rocket SLV-3. A young A.P.J. Abdul Kalam led the mission. India entered the elite club of space-launch nations.

India's own space telescope — studies black holes, neutron stars, and galaxies simultaneously in X-ray and UV light. India's Hubble.

India's first mission to Venus — studying the planet's thick atmosphere, surface, and volcanic activity. ISRO's next interplanetary frontier.

The satellites powering India's TV, radio, internet, and DTH services. 20+ active satellites. Every time you watch TV or use the internet in India — this is why.

The satellites that map India from space. Used for agriculture monitoring, disaster management, urban planning, and Google Maps-quality imagery of India.

Monitors India's oceans — sea surface temperature, wind speed, and ocean colour. Critical for fishermen, cyclone prediction, and climate research.

India successfully docked two satellites in space — joining USA, Russia, and China in this elite capability. Essential for future space stations and Moon missions.

India's reusable rocket program — a winged vehicle that can return and land like a plane. ISRO's answer to SpaceX. Tested successfully, full version in development.
