- From a very early point when it first began, Indian space technology endeavors have steadily witnessed their transformation into one that is regarded as among the best in the industry. Remember that Indian space scientists had to overcome great obstacles to grasp cutting-edge technology that was exclusively accessible to a very small number of countries, mostly the advanced countries. Succeeding central governments did provide the mostly public space industry with enough money and support to establish India as a power that cannot be ignored or treated with indifference. Currently, Indian space explorations are among the best in the world after progressively emerging from the background.

- Several nations have been using the services of Indian satellite launch vehicles in recent years, as you are probably aware. Even successful commercial launches have generated substantial sums of money for the space sector, attracting the interest of the entire world. In light of this, the recent successful launch of Chandrayaan-3 to the desired orbit by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) marks a watershed moment in the history of space exploration for both India and the rest of the world. Mentioning that India would be the focus of attention during the next two weeks won’t be out of place. Remember, though, that during the next 40 days, not only will all eyes be on the sophisticated maneuvers that should culminate in a soft lunar landing as precisely planned, but also all good wishes.
- Keep in mind that Chandrayaan-1 data did reveal shocking proof of water on the moon. And if everything goes well, India will become the first country to complete a controlled landing close to the uncharted lunar south pole, which has more difficult terrain. These are undoubtedly worthwhile bragging rights. Perhaps far more significant will be the data and understanding that India’s lunar rover will give scientists access to. Geopolitical rivalry shouldn’t overshadow the positive aspects of humanity’s space exploration efforts. The US and China are engaged in a fierce battle to send more people to the moon after a half-century since any humans last set foot there. India has made the strategic decision to join the US-led Artemis space partnership deal.

- This benefits our larger technological and systemic interests. India has benefited significantly from advances in space and satellite exploration in a variety of fields, including renewable energy, agriculture, communication, and defense. Global praise for ISRO’s accomplishments in completing difficult projects on a shoestring budget. But, despite our progress, there is still a great deal of unrealized potential. The business opportunities in satellite manufacture and launch alone are enormous. Geopolitics is also at play in this, with many people finding Indian heavy-lift launchers to be preferable to Russian and Chinese ones. India is heavily reliant on its space initiatives since what happens in space will have a significant impact on life here on Earth.
