Indian Space Progress: #23: How ISRO et al. laid the groundwork for a decade this year
While 2023 was an incredible year for ISRO in terms of execution of space missions and projects, 2024 was more about those successes giving the Indian government’s Department of Space (DOS) the confidence to plan an ambitious next decade. But ISRO, as usual, remains uninterested in contextualizing all of these advances on any of their channels. This issue of India’s space program lacking clear communications and outreach is partly why I write Indian Space Progress in the first place. And so below is a linked overview of the some of the key groundwork laid this year by DOS and ISRO across orbital launch vehicles, Moon missions, human spaceflight, commercial and private space capabilities, space sciences, and more.
Not much coverage of the Indian space program in North American media, so these are always interesting.
