India decided to go to space when Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was set up by the Government of India in 1962. With the visionary Dr Vikram Sarabhai at its helm, INCOSPAR set up the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) in Thiruvananthapuram for upper atmospheric research.Indian Space Research Organisation, formed in 1969, superseded the erstwhile INCOSPAR. Vikram Sarabhai, having identified the role and importance of space technology in a Nation's development, provided ISRO the necessary direction to function as an agent of development. ISRO then embarked on its mission to provide the Nation space based services and to develop the technologies to achieve the same independently.
Mission: Design and development of launch vehicles, satellites and related technologies for earth observation.
Vision: Our vision is to harness space technology for national development, while pursuing space science research and planetary exploration.

In-SPACe launches $58 million fund to boost startups, cut reliance on imports
- IN-SPACe has launched a $57.58 million fund to support early-stage space technologies and reduce import dependency in India's space industry.
- The Technology Adoption Fund aims to boost commercialization, connect government bodies with the private sector, and position India as a reliable space industry partner.
- Startups and small businesses can receive up to 60% project cost funding, while larger industries can get 40% with a maximum cap of 250 million rupees per project.
- This support will help companies refine technologies, improve production processes, and meet market demands in India and globally.
- India's space industry was opened to private investment last year to enhance monetization and reduce dominance by the state-run Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
- The country aims to attract global players with liberalized regulations, reflecting the commercial space boom in the US and Europe.
- Reliance Industries' Jio Platforms and SES have received regulatory approval for gigabit fiber internet, while Starlink and Kuiper await licenses.
- A separate 10 billion rupee venture capital fund for space startups, contracts for ISRO's main launch vehicle to private firms, and global commercial partnerships are also on the agenda.
- The surge of space startups developing innovative solutions requires sufficient funding, especially from government institutions, to turn concepts into practical products.

ISRO To Send ‘Fruit Flies’ Into Space In An Attempt To Study Effects Of Space Travel On Living Organisms
- India's Gaganyaan Programme will send fruit flies into space to study the effects of space travel on living organisms.
- ISRO's Gaganyaan Mission aims to launch a crewed orbital spacecraft into Low Earth Orbit and conduct uncrewed flights before a crewed one in 2026.
- UAS-Dharwad and IIST have chosen fruit flies for a biological experiment to aid in food preservation and health protection for astronauts.
- The project's total cost is Rs 78 lakhs with Dr. Ravikumar Hosamani leading the research on biological processes in space.
- Fruit flies were chosen due to their genetic similarity to humans and potential insights into health impacts of space travel.
- "The experiment aims to study the formation of kidney stones in microgravity, a common issue for astronauts in space."
- TIFR scientists will monitor fruit flies in space to investigate the effects of space travel on the SIRT1 gene and metabolic outcomes.
- The experiment seeks to understand physiological changes in organisms post-return to Earth after short-term space travel.
- "Manipulating SIRT1 levels can potentially shield organisms from adverse effects of space travel, aiding in health interventions for astronauts."
- "The study will shed light on physiological alterations due to space travel, benefitting future space missions and human health research."

NavIC satellite failure casts shadow on human space flight plan
- The NVS-02 satellite, a part of India's NavIC (Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System) failed to reach its intended orbit due to an unopened valve, casting a shadow on India's human space flight plans.
- The satellite, costing ₹300 crore and launched using the GSLV rocket, cannot be steered from its elliptical geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) to the circular geostationary orbit.
- Despite the setback, ISRO states that the satellite could still be partially nudged or repurposed, but experts suggest it may only be used for testing the onboard atomic clock and messaging services.
- NavIC, India's own satellite navigation system, was developed for strategic reasons to provide accurate position information services. However, it has faced previous setbacks with atomic clock failures and the heat shield of one satellite failing to open.

This Hyderabad Startup is Building India’s First AI Lab in Orbit
- Hyderabad-based space-tech startup, TakeMe2Space, is planning to make space more accessible by launching India's first AI-driven space laboratory. The firm democratises space to offer real-time access to satellites for anyone, including students, researchers, and businesses.
- TakeMe2Space working to change the way people interact with satellites by offering an AI-powered satellite lab. Schools and universities can subscribe, allowing students to log in remotely, upload code in Python or C++, and interact with a real satellite.
- Ronak Kumar Samantray, the company founder, wants to ensure that everybody's ideas can be taken to space. The company recently conducted a technology demonstration mission with ISRO, proving the viability of its approach.
- Out of 20 customers who have signed up, four are from the education sector, while the remaining 16 are from GIS (geographic information systems) and data analytics companies friendly to the business approach of the firm.
- Interestingly, TakeMe2Space offers 90 minutes of the satellite time in orbit for a rage of 20,000 INR.
- Satellites can process images in orbit using AI, making decisions in real-time on what data to collect and download, reducing unnecessary data transmission and saving bandwidth. Samantray emphasises that their aim is not just to provide satellite data but to give users control of the satellite itself.
- With the Indian government wanting to scale the space economy to £44 billion by 2033, TakeMe2Space believes that space accessibility should be as simple as logging into a cloud computing service enforcement, representing 7-8% of the global share of space market.
- Samantray plans to reduce the large power demands of computing by transitioning most computing tasks to in-space technology, away from Earth, where temperatures are very cold and heat dissipation is more efficient. Running AI models in space could be a long-term solution to Earth's increasing energy demand.
- The Hyderabad startup addressed security and ethical concerns and implemented protocols, like two-step authentication, encryption, and not equipping the satellites with propulsion systems to redirect towards other objects.
- In conclusion, joining the satellite economy will mean taking many business opportunities in space and attracting hundreds of millions for those operating in space. Now, with TakeMe2Space India's lead in launching the first AI space laboratory, the space-tech industry may reach a new high.
