Space Research Project

Pakistan has joined China's expanding club of partners in an ambitious project to build a research station on the moon's south pole.

India is set to conduct a key test in its ambitious crewed space mission Gaganyaan as early as next month, the project director of the mission R Hutton told Reuters. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is currently training four astronauts and looking to expand the cohort as it aims for more future manned missions, Hutton said.

The Indian Space Research Organisation has successfully tested the Gaganyaan Service Module Propulsion System (SMPS) at ISRO Propulsion Complex (IPRC) at Mahendragiri in Tamil Nadu.

Indian Space Research Organisation has decided not to rush its Gaganyaan project, the manned mission to space, as it wants to ensure that the country's first human space flight is a 'sure shot safe mission', said its chairman S Somanath here on Thursday. Gaganyaan was set to launch in 2022 but due to COVID-19 there was an inordinate delay, Somanath...

Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on Sunday announced that it successfully conducted the autonomous test landing mission of the Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) at the Aeronautical Test Range (ATR) in Karnataka's Chitradurga. On Sunday, ISRO Chairman Sreedhara Panicker Somanath on Sunday congratulated Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) project mana...

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will start a series of test flights for India's maiden human space flight mission from February next year, a senior official said on Thursday. The space agency also plans to deploy the heavy lift Chinook helicopter and the C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft for testing the crew module, which will carry...

NASA has funded a project to develop a telescope that would help observe exoplanets by using the gravitational lens of the Sun, according to a new report. The telescope could eventually be used to detect life on nearby exoplanets, and the project has receieved funding as part of NIAC's three-phase program.

About 60 startups have registered with Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) since the “unlocking” of the space sector, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said on Monday. The minister said that quite a few of these startups were working on projects related to space debris management, while others’ proposals vary from nano-satellite, launch veh...

Chinese scientists have proposed a space project to survey the sky through a space-borne telescope to hunt for habitable Earth-like planets outside the solar system, about 32 light-years from Earth.

As per an IIT Madras statement, a virtual space dedicated to exhibiting the research projects, start-ups, and projects from the institute’s Center for Innovation (CFI) and other projects was also created.

A recent research based on Hubble Space Telescope findings showed that black holes could go against their all-absorbing nature at times and may aid creation. The research showed a supermassive black hole at the centre of a dwarf galaxy, some 30 million light-years away, creating stars rather than swallowing it.

V Ramgopal Rao, Director, IIT Delhi brief envisaged this R&I Park as a physical assembly of spaces that would support the Institute, Industry and government collaboration with an intent of creating high technology economic development

US Air Force (USAF) is trying to make space-based solar power a reality. The USAF aims to achieve something that it believes will go a long way in addressing the energy demand of its military personnel deployed at remote bases in the short term. However, it would ultimately be made available for civilian use.

NASA astronaut Alan Shepard became the first American to travel to space 60 years ago on May 5. The space research organisation honoured Shepard and his mission with a special page on its website. The year 1961 was extremely crucial as the United States and the Soviet Union — the two dominant superpowers at the time — were locked in a race to s...

The Indian Space Research Organisation will launch a data relay satellite that will help maintain contact with the Gaganyaan mission throughout after the launch, sources said.
