  The Rise of ISRO: India’s Journey to Space Dominance The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has established itself as one of the world’s leading space agencies, transforming India into a global space power. From launching small satellites to planning missions to the Moon and Mars, ISRO’s journey is a testament to India’s capability in space technology and exploration. A Humble Beginning ISRO was founded in 1969 under the visionary leadership of Dr. Vikram Sarabhai , often referred to as the father of the Indian space program. What started with the launch of Aryabhata , India’s first satellite in 1975 , has now evolved into a sophisticated and cost-efficient space program known globally for its impressive achievements.

  How Space Technology is Helping in the Fight Against Climate Change   Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time. From rising sea levels to more frequent natural disasters, the Earth faces environmental challenges that need urgent attention. Surprisingly, some of the most important tools in the battle against climate change come from above—space technology. Satellites, space missions, and advanced technologies used in space exploration play a vital role in understanding, tracking, and combating the effects of global warming. In this blog, we'll explore how space technology is being used to monitor Earth's climate and offer solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change. Understanding the Power of Satellites in Climate Monitoring Satellites are some of the most valuable tools for scientists studying climate change. They provide a bird's-eye view of the Earth, making it possible to observe large-scale environmental changes over time. Satellites can ...
