The mysterious radio energy flashes, whose source is yet to be discovered, have left astronomers baffled. However, there is help at hand because some of India's most brilliant scientists are working on these perplexing questions!

From HAL to ISRO, IISc's enormously talented scientists played pivotal roles in building India’s aerospace programme. This is their story.

We don’t know about your travel plans, but by 2022, three Indians will be making their way to space for a week-long mission — the Centre has just approved the budget for #Gaganyaan!

"We're here to bring space closer. We are now aiming to democratise the sector by making space flight simple, reliable and accessible to businesses and organisations of all sizes, and to help create a world-class space ecosystem in India."

Gsat-11 is a high-throughput satellite that carries 40 transponders in the Ku-band and Ka-band frequencies.

“HysIS is an earth observation satellite developed by ISRO. It is the primary satellite of the PSLV-C43 mission. The satellite will be placed in 636 km polar sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) with an inclination of 97.957 deg.”

ISRO confirmed that GSAT-29, the satellite launched by Baahubali, was successfully raised by firing its motors for 4875 seconds.

GSLV Mk-III weighs 3,423kg and is the heaviest launcher in India. It is taller than a 13-story building (43 meters, to be precise) and even then, it is the shortest Indian launcher.

Awarded the Padma Shri (1982), Padma Bhushan (1992) and Padma Vibhushan (2000), there is very little this celebrated scientist hasn't attained in the domain of space, scientific research and academia.

With this ‘combat triad’, India is moving a step closer to dealing with new and emerging threats to national security!
