ISRO's Ambitious Space Missions Continue Despite Recent Setback
ISRO faces a temporary setback with a failed satellite launch but remains committed to its ambitious space exploration agenda.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) experienced a temporary setback on June 14, 2025, as its latest satellite launch failed due to technical issues in the rocket's third stage. Despite this, ISRO's enthusiasm for space exploration remains unwavering. The organisation has announced exciting plans for a Mars mission in 2026, following the success of Mangalyaan-1 in 2013. Additionally, the Chandrayaan-3 mission is progressing smoothly, with the spacecraft currently in lunar orbit and a scheduled landing at the Moon's south pole soon. ISRO is also pioneering reusable rocket technology, aiming to reduce space mission costs, and has partnered with a European space agency to enhance its capabilities. These developments underscore ISRO's determination to push the boundaries of space exploration.
