ISRO successfully launched GSLV-F15, marking its 100th launch from Sriharikota. The mission deployed the NVS-02 satellite, enhancing India's navigation system (NavIC) with a fifth satellite, improving positioning accuracy across the region.

Sri Dr. Nirmalanandanatha Mahaswamiji congratulated ISRO on the success of the Spadex mission, making India the fourth nation to achieve space docking. He praised ISRO's role in inspiring future generations and highlighted the successful BGS Arpit payload from Adi Chunchanagiri Math aboard POEM-4.

NASA scientists have revealed that China's Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest hydroelectric project, has caused a slight but measurable change in Earth's rotation by slowing it down. This effect is due to the redistribution of mass from the dam's vast reservoir.

ISRO postponed the Spadex mission's docking operation due to unexpected drift detected after a non-visibility period. The delay ensures optimal conditions for a safe docking attempt, with the satellites remaining secure. A new schedule will be announced soon.

ISRO's CROPS experiment onboard PSLV-C60 POEM-4 successfully germinated cowpea seeds in microgravity within four days, marking a breakthrough in space agriculture. Developed by VSSC, the experiment provides insights into plant growth in space.

2025 is not just a new year, it's a special year for math enthusiasts. A video that has gone viral on social media unveils the mathematical wonders of 2025, including interesting calculations like 45*45=2025, a perfect square.

ISRO's PSLV-C60/SpaDEx mission successfully launches 24 payloads, including 10 from private entities, marking a significant milestone in India's private space industry growth and promoting partnerships between ISRO and startups.

Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) on Monday successfully launched SpaDeX Mission from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.

India's ISRO is set to launch the SpaDeX mission on December 30, demonstrating spacecraft docking technology. This budget-friendly mission will help India advance its space goals, including human lunar missions. The mission also includes 24 payloads, with contributions from Karnataka's engineering colleges.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe safely flew by the Sun on December 24, 2024, coming within 3.8 million miles of the Sun's surface and withstanding extreme temperatures and radiation.
