India's ISRO Plans to Triple Spacecraft Production by 2028
(MENAFN) The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) plans to multiply its yearly spacecraft manufacturing capacity threefold within the coming three years, according to the agency's chief.
ISRO Chairman V Narayanan revealed to Indian media during a Sunday interview that New Delhi has scheduled seven additional launches before the current fiscal year concludes.
The nation has pursued an aggressive expansion blueprint targeting rapid advancement across scientific, technological, and industrial dimensions of its space sector. ISRO seeks to quadruple the country's global space industry footprint from today's 2% to 8% before 2030 arrives.
The sector, presently worth $8.2 billion, is anticipated to surge to $44 billion by 2033.
ISRO's launch calendar features a commercial communications satellite among forthcoming missions. Narayanan indicated the organization is pursuing a landmark achievement with a satellite launch vehicle produced entirely through domestic manufacturing.
Authorities have greenlit the Chandrayaan-4 lunar mission for 2028 deployment, he noted. The endeavor represents India's most ambitious undertaking yet, designed to retrieve lunar samples and return them to Earth. Presently, solely the US, Russia, and China possess this technological capability.
ISRO targets 2035 for completing its orbital station. The initial module among five planned components will reach orbit by 2028, per Narayanan's timeline.
The US-led International Space Station (ISS) approaches its operational conclusion, while China's Tiangong facility transitions into comprehensive service.
The ISRO chief specified that only the schedule for its uncrewed spaceflight mission has been adjusted. "Let me make it clear: the uncrewed mission was targeted for 2025. The crewed mission was always planned for 2027, and we are holding on to that date," he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has instructed ISRO to by 2040 work towards sending Indian astronauts to the moon and bringing them back safely, Narayanan said.
India's collaborative lunar polar exploration initiative with Japan's Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) aims to conduct studies at the lunar South Pole, he added.
