India's space program has made significant strides, not only in scientific exploration but also in contributing to the welfare of society. According to ISRO Chairman Dr. S Somnath, the investments made in the space sector have had far-reaching benefits.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) achieved another milestone on Friday with the successful launch of the Earth Observation Satellite-8 (EOS-8) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.

Chandrayaan-4, expected to surpass the carrying capacity of ISRO's most powerful rockets, will necessitate multiple launches. The spacecraft will be assembled in orbit before commencing its journey to the Moon, Somanath revealed on the sidelines of an event in Delhi.

The committee, headed by Koppillil Radhakrishnan, former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman and current Chairman of the Board of Governors at IIT Kanpur, aims to reform the examination process and improve data security protocols within the National Testing Agency (NTA).

Addressing the 42nd Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC) annual meet here, he said ISRO has a very clearly laid out plan as far as space exploration and space utilisation are concerned for the coming days.

Expressing ISRO's commitment to lunar exploration, Somanath reiterated Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of achieving a moon landing by an Indian by the early 2040s.
