confirm the presence of water and ice on the moon

was the first asian nation to reach mars orbit, and the first nation IN THE WORLD to reach it in it's maiden attempt

saved thousands of lives from cyclone phailin in 2013 over the four days, resulting in 45 deaths when without them, would have been in the thousands at minimum

launched the first successful flight using the indigenous cryogenic engine

successfully neutralized a satellite in space with an anti-satellite (mission shakti, anyone?)

launched 104 satellites with one (1) rocket

THE VIKAS ENGINE??? HELLO?? NAMBI NARAYANAN??? even if you didnt know him before, surely youve seen the movie rocketry?

not to mention everything we've done in coordination with other nations, and achievements from Indian scientists and astronauts that were then taken by other nations, usually during war. plus, we've always been much more cost efficient than our space-faring peer nations

Congratulations to ISRO and the entire Chandrayaan-3 team for receiving the prestigious 2026 Goddard Astronautics Award from AIAA. ..

This honour is not just an award for a mission — it is a recognition of India’s courage, brilliance, and relentless spirit to reach beyond the skies...

From dreams drawn on paper to making history on the Moon’s south pole, Chandrayaan-3 showed the world what Indian science, dedication, and determination truly look like.....

This achievement belongs to every scientist who worked silently behind the scenes, every Indian who believed in our nation’s potential, and every young dreamer who now dares to look at the stars and say — “India can.”

The Moon now carries the footsteps of Indian determination, and the world is finally applauding what India has always been capable of....
