India's ambitious space program, as articulated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is set to catapult the nation's space exploration capabilities to new heights. With plans for a manned lunar mission by 2040 and the establishment of a space station by 2035, India is resolutely moving towards establishing a significant presence in space exploration.

The recent successful Moon landing and Sun study mission attest to India's growing prowess in space technology. With the ongoing Gaganyaan project, focused on sending a human crew to an orbit of 400km and back safely, India is edging closer to achieving its vision of manned space exploration. The upcoming key test in the mission, followed by a robot's journey to outer space, marks crucial milestones in the country's journey towards realizing its ambitious space goals.
