India’s space economy is projected to reach $44 billion by 2033, representing a significant fivefold growth from its current valuation of around $8.4 billion.This ambitious target is part of India’s broader aspiration to capture 8% of the global space economy, which is expected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2035.This transformation is underpinned by a shift from a primarily government-led sector to a
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has laid out an updated, far-reaching roadmap for the coming decades, revealed during the second National Space Day celebrations at Bharat Mandapam.Among the highlights are a range of advanced vehicles—from vertical take-off and landing (VTVL) hoppers for planetary exploration, to hypersonic air breathing platforms, reusable spaceplanes, and even a
Two Indian analogue astronauts, Rahul Mogalapalli and Yaman Akot, successfully completed a 10-day mission inside the Himalayan Outpost for Planetary Exploration (HOPE) habitat located in the remote region of Tso Kar, about 150 kilometres from Leh, Ladakh.This mission was designed to simulate the stresses and routines of lunar and Martian exploration, marking a significant milestone in India’s
India is actively working toward landing an astronaut on the Moon by 2040, with significant progress already made in developing the mission’s launch vehicle configuration and orbital module systems, as per a request for information regarding India’s Gaganyaan program in the Parliament.The Gaganyaan program, India’s ongoing human spaceflight initiative, serves as the technological foundation for
India has made a significant stride in its ambitions for interplanetary human space exploration with the inauguration of the HOPE (Human Outer Planetary Exploration) analogue mission, set in the harsh, Mars-like terrain of Ladakh’s Tso Kar Valley.Launched by ISRO on August 1, 2025, HOPE marks India’s first full-scale simulation of a crewed interplanetary environment—an essential preparatory step
