Progress of ISRO

Indian Space Research Organization

On December 19, the communication satellite GSAT-7A was successfully launched into space, and with it concluded Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)’s last mission of 2018. During the year, 8 missions were undertaken by ISRO. January of this year also marked the organisation’s 100th satellite mission.

With 2018 turning out well for India’s space research, enthusiastic plans have already been set for the upcoming year. These also include the launching of Chandrayaan-2, our moon-orbiting satellite, as well as, ADITYA-L1, India’s first-ever space mission.
