Exploring the cosmos, one mission at a time.
India's planetary exploration missions have captured the world's imagination. Mangalyaan made India the first Asian nation to reach Martian orbit, and the first in the world to do so in its maiden attempt. The Chandrayaan series has fundamentally changed our understanding of the Moon, confirming the presence of water molecules.
The future is bright with Gaganyaan, India's human spaceflight programme, which aims to send Indian astronauts to Low Earth Orbit. Furthermore, missions like Aditya-L1 to study the Sun and collaborative projects like NISAR demonstrate India's growing ambition in deep space exploration.
India's first dedicated solar mission is positioned at the Lagrange point 1. It provides a continuous, uninterrupted view of the Sun, studying coronal mass ejections and space weather phenomena.
