भारतीय अंतरिक्ष अनुसंधान संगठन
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is India's national space agency, responsible for space-based operations, exploration, and the development of related technologies. As a key part of the Department of Space, ISRO designs and develops launch vehicles and satellites, including the INSAT series for communication and the IRS system for remote sensing. ISRO operates launch facilities like the Satish Dhawan Space Centre and collaborates with international partners such as NASA and CNES. ISRO's work enables services like telecommunications, broadcasting, weather forecasting, resource monitoring, and navigation. Key words: space agency, satellites, launch vehicles, exploration, remote sensing, communication.

JAXA and ISRO are jointly developing the LUPEX lunar south pole rover.
ISRO brings the only successful south pole landing to date, LVM3 launch capability, and Chandrayaan-3 mission cost efficiency to the proposed lunar consortium.
The proposed consortium’s cost estimate is based on existing launch vehicles, adapted Gateway hardware, and ISRO’s demonstrated cost efficiency.
India’s commercial launch market is growing, with the Indian Space Research Organisation expanding its commercial services arm and private launch providers entering the market.
The launch of ISRO's GISAT-1A/EOS-05 satellite on GSLV-F17 was delayed due to an issue with the payload adapter.
ISRO's GISAT-1A/EOS-05 satellite is scheduled to launch on GSLV-F17 no earlier than May 21 between 03:15 and 07:15 UTC.
ISRO plans to launch Chandrayaan 4 in two spacecraft stacks that each weigh about 4,600 to 4,800 kilograms.
ISRO plans to upgrade the LVM3 rocket’s core stage with the SE-2000 semi-cryogenic kerolox engine to support Chandrayaan 4.
ISRO demonstrated a pad and launch turnaround time of about 50 days last year.
ISRO plans to launch Chandrayaan 4 in 2028.
The inauguration of XDLINX Space Labs’ new Advanced Space Systems Integration and Testing Lab included a visit from senior leadership of the Indian Space Research Organisation, including Dr. V. Narayanan, Chairman of ISRO and Secretary of the Department of Space.
ISRO’s theoretical peak launch capacity in 2026 is 15 launches per year.
Failures of one Indian rocket can stall launches of other ISRO rockets because some modules and component designs are shared.
By March 2017, ISRO had incurred about $375–380 million in expenditure on NavIC, including core program costs, launch vehicles, satellite maintenance, and ground infrastructure.
Six of the 11 satellites launched by ISRO for navigation have suffered failures or partial failures.
NavIC is a regional satellite navigation system developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation to provide accurate positioning, navigation, and timing services across India and up to 1,500 kilometers beyond its borders.
ISRO reported that the atomic clock of the ten-year-old IRNSS-1F satellite failed on March 13.
The Proba-3 mission’s Coronagraph and Occulter spacecraft were launched aboard an ISRO PSLV-XL rocket in December 2024.
The inaugural U.S.–India Space Business Forum in Bengaluru included ISRO Chairman Dr. V. Narayanan and representatives from 14 named U.S. companies.
The joint ISRO-JAXA LUPEX rover mission is headed to the lunar south pole.
