New Delhi: An Indian space station will be established by 2035. Indian astronauts will go to the Moon by 2040, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said. The International Space Summit began yesterday in Paris, the capital of France. At the inaugural ceremony, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the gathering via video conference.
He said: India follows the noble principle that the world is one family. For the good of the world, all countries should work together in the field of space. They should act in accordance with international rules. The benefits of space-related research should reach people of all sections. India’s ISRO organization has been achieving various milestones.
ISRO is a pioneer in placing satellites in space at very low cost. The entire world admires this achievement. ISRO provides the information needed by farmers and fishermen. It provides accurate weather forecasts. During natural disaster periods, it provides the assistance needed for rescue operations.
More than 430 satellites from around 34 countries have been placed into orbit by Indian rockets. ISRO is working not only for India but for the benefit of the entire world. Through Chandrayaan 3, India has earned the distinction of becoming the first country to set foot on the Moon’s south pole. Research on the Sun is being carried out through ISRO’s Aditya L1. In the year 2025, Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla went to the International Space Station and set a record.
By 2035, an Indian space station will be established in space. In 2040, Indian astronauts will travel to the Moon. India’s space research will benefit all of humanity. Private companies have been granted permission in India’s space sector. Through this, our space sector is growing tremendously.
India’s first space project began in Thumba, Kerala, in 1960. Since then, France has been our trusted partner. Cooperation between India and France in the space sector has now increased. I invite France and other countries to join India in space-related projects. We must work together. We must protect space for the good of humanity. Prime Minister Modi said this.
