India: ISROーIndian Space Research Organisation, has started provision for space exploration and tech demonstration in 2025 and plotted 10 orbital launches to get a record-high. These launches planned in-year are intended to prepare multiform missions of “PSLV”, “GSLV MK2”, and “LVM-3” for commercial setup.
ISRO Chairman S. Somnath notified the media of the information about this launch and the mission is named SpaDeX (Space Docking Experiment). He said this orbiting expedition is projected with a milestone 100th mission and GSLV-F15 (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle) carrying the NVS-02 satellite in Jan 2025. all the while, the LVM-3 flight will wield BlueBird 6 for AST SpaceMobile.
What’s the approach
It also involves the three Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) missions and the PSLV solid rocket-powered personas that have been racked up for launch. India strives to be the fourth country to develop independent human spaceflight knacks. Moreover, ISRO also plans to establish an American satellite for AST SpaceMobile. Target missions also include the unmanned Gaganyaan orbital test flight scheduled for July 2025 and two more test missions, G2 and G3, planned before the first crewed flight, H1, in 2026.
Additionally, the country intends to build the Indian Space Station (ISPS) by 2035 and land on the Moon with a crew by 2040. Reportedly, a joint Earth science mission between NASA and ISRO, named NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR), will be likely to set in motion on a GSLV rocket around March.
The three other counterparts of GSLV will carry the NVS-02 navigation satellite, GISAT-02 remote sensing satellite, and IDRSS-01 communication satellite respectively. India's first launch of the year, the NVS-02 mission, is reported to be expected in mid-January from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre.
These projects display India's growing influence in the global space industry, with the country's space sector anticipated to grow to $13 billion next year from its current $8 billion valuation. The government, fulfilling its role, approved Rs 10 billion ($ 119 million) for space startups.
ISRO's agenda exhibits increased association with private industry, positioning with India's broader strategy to stimulate growth in its space province. The government has started-off policies to foster private participation, with a focus on expanding the sector's value from $8 billion to $44 billion over the coming decade.
S. Somnath tells WION news on January 1 “how challenging it is going to be for ISRO to have the capabilities to build and launch GSLVs”. They plan to dispatch PSLV launches toward the Anvesha and ISRO's Oceansat-3 remote sensing satellites for the defense sector. S. Somnath noted that we need further improvement in ‘in-industry potential’ and there are bounds in the matter of manufacturing, engines’ testing, and making these within numbers.
Beyond this, the first Vikram-1 rocket notably a three-stage, solid-fueled rocket, launch is being introduced in the private domain by Skyroot Aerospace. And, it is intended to hold a freight of 290 kg to a sun-synchronous orbit of 500 km.
