ISRO Plans Seven Launches by March 2026
ISRO is planning to launch seven missions by March 2026.
The first one is happening next week.
One of the big missions is called Gaganyaan, which will send a robot named Vyommitra into space without any people.
This is a test before they send real astronauts in 2027.
They will also launch satellites, including one for a US company and one that uses new electric technology to make satellites lighter.
Another important launch is a satellite to replace one that didn't work in 2021.
ISRO is also working with Indian companies to build more rockets.
All these missions are to test new technologies and make India's space program stronger.
ISRO plans seven launches by March 2026, starting next week.
Includes the first uncrewed Gaganyaan mission with robot Vyommitra.
LVM3 rocket will launch Bluebird-6 communication satellite for US-based AST Spacemobile.
First industry-built PSLV will launch Oceansat satellite and two co-passenger satellites.
TDS-01 satellite will demonstrate high thrust electric propulsion and quantum key distribution technologies.
GSLV-Mk II rocket will launch EOS-5 satellite to replace the failed GISAT-1.
