💨 Abstract

Fifty years after launching its first satellite, Aryabhata, India's space program has reached new heights. In 2025, ISRO and NASA collaborated to launch NISAR, the most advanced Earth-observation satellite. India's space achievements, including successful space docking and launching the BlueBird-6 satellite, highlight its global standing. India's journey from a modest participant to a major space power has been shaped by geopolitics, resilience, and cooperation.
