India Space Program

Air pollution has plummeted over northern India during the country-wide lockdown, implemented to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.

As the coronavirus-borne disease spreads around the world, India's space agency has responded by pausing launches and pivoting resources to develop ventilators and hand sanitizer.

As India prepares to launch its first astronauts into space, the program will proceed under tighter funding than hoped, at least for the time being.

A powerful imaging satellite from India that was set to launch Thursday (March 5) is delayed indefinitely due to an undisclosed technical problem, according to multiple reports.

India's rapid progress in lunar exploration has the attention of the president of the United States.

When India's Vikram lander crashed into the moon in September, it was a significant setback for India's lunar exploration plans — but it wasn't really a failure. Here's why.

The Chandrayaan-3 mission, which will consist of a lunar rover and a stationary lander, has been approved, Indian space officials announced Wednesday (Jan. 1).

Three lunar missions, commercial spaceflight milestones, the first all-woman spacewalk — 2019 was a busy year in space for public and private entities alike.

India's workhorse rocket celebrated its 50th flight with a successful launch of 10 satellites, including a spy vehicle.

Scientists and amateurs alike have spent months combing through images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter looking for the remains of India's moon lander — and that search has paid off.

An Indian rocket delivered 14 satellites to orbit tonight (Nov. 26), including 12 for U.S. Earth imaging company Planet and a prototype for Analytical Space.

An Indian rocket will deliver 14 satellites to orbit tonight (Nov. 26), and you can watch the liftoff live.

It turns out that India's crashed moon lander had an issue with its brakes.

Just months after a landing anomaly, India is ready to make another try at touching down on the moon, according to a news report.

India has launched just three planetary-science spacecraft, but the country is already eyeing a new destination: Venus.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has passed over the targeted landing site of India's Vikram spacecraft and again been unable to spot the vehicle.

An Indian spacecraft may be orbiting the moon, but it's also gathering valuable data about other key players in our solar system.

India's second-ever lunar orbiter arrived at the moon just over a month ago, and the probe's instruments have already begun sending home science data.

It looks like just a barren moonscape of craters, but somewhere in this image is a hunk of metal and electronics that carried a country's hopes of lunar science.

Even as its orbiter settles into work, India's hopes of resurrecting its moon lander are quickly evaporating as the country marks two weeks from its attempt to softly touch down on the lunar surface.
