The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is India’s national space agency, known globally for its innovation, efficiency, and remarkable achievements in space exploration. Founded in 1969, ISRO operates under the Department of Space and has played a crucial role in advancing India’s position in science, technology, and satellite communication.

ISRO's journey began with humble beginnings but quickly evolved into a powerful space agency. One of its most celebrated missions was the Chandrayaan-1 in 2008, which confirmed the presence of water on the Moon. In 2014, ISRO made history with Mangalyaan (Mars Orbiter Mission)—becoming the first Asian nation to reach Mars and the first in the world to do so in its maiden attempt, all at a remarkably low cost.

In recent years, missions like Chandrayaan-3, which successfully landed near the Moon’s south pole, and the Aditya-L1 mission to study the Sun, have demonstrated ISRO’s growing expertise in deep space exploration. ISRO also plays a major role in launching satellites for weather, communication, navigation, and education.

With ambitious future projects like Gaganyaan (India’s first human spaceflight) and plans for interplanetary missions, ISRO continues to inspire millions. It stands as a symbol of India’s scientific progress, innovation, and the spirit of self-reliance, proving that space is truly within reach.
