‘ISRO is busy with a lot of work as it plans to launch a lot of satellites in 2026’, said the ISRO Chairman, V Narayanan, on Saturday.
"We are planning to send a lot of satellites (this year). A lot of work is going on. After meeting the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi), we will announce them."
"We have several big missions lined up. We are working under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We are planning to establish an International Space Station. We are planning to send people to the Moon and bring them back to the Earth safely,” said Narayanan as he responded to the recent remarks made by Astronaut Sunita Williams, saying India and US should work together on exploring space programmes.
In terms of space exploration, India has a robust cooperation with at least around 60 friendly countries, said the ISRO Chairman, adding that these international collaborations have proven to be beneficial.
He further addressed the recent malfunction encountered by the PSLV-C62 rocket in the third stage of its launch.
"As I told you that day itself (on January 12), the PSLV rocket is a four-stage rocket. After the third stage, there was a deviation in the flight path (of the vehicle). We are studying it," he said.
Asked for his message to the students' community, Narayanan, also the Secretary, Department of Space, said they should focus on mastering their subjects while also working on their overall personality development.
