Why Space Technology?
Why now?
India has etched its name in history with groundbreaking achievements from
ISRO: from the Mars Orbiter Mission, and Aditya L1 to deploying nearly 150
satellite launches (since 1975), capturing the world's attention. Moreover,
the cost-effective launches, integration of emerging technologies, and
active participation from public and private entities have all converged to
witness staggering investments in the sector.
