India's space agency, ISRO, wants to launch many more satellites into space!
Right now, they have 55 satellites, but they plan to have almost three times that many within three years.
They're also working on building their own space station, which they hope to complete by 2035, starting with the first part in 2028.
ISRO has many missions planned, including the launch of the NISAR mission in July and 12 launch vehicle missions planned this year.
They are aiming to become a leading spacefaring nation, with plans to match other countries in technology and infrastructure by 2040.

India plans to have its own space station by 2035, with the first module in 2028.
