India Plans to Build its Own Space Station

India certainly has announced its plans to launch its own space station by 2030. However, this launch could be difficult to achieve.

In June, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) announced that it plans to launch its own space station by 2030.

A successful launch like this would make India the 4th country to launch a space station that is solely its own, along with Russia, the United States, and China.

India did not yet send a human being into space. The country has not released any concrete plans on how it plans to build its station. Nobody can really say what it will look like. This is clearly a fantastic, ambitious and admirable goal.

Take a look at the Soviet Union’s Saylut 1, Saylut 2, and Cosmos 557, to China’s Tiangong-1 and Tiangong-2. Think about challenges other nations faced while putting their first space stations into orbit on this episode of Elements. This science episode sure mentions lots of interesting space flight facts.

India also has other missions that it could perform in outer space. India could be the first to land on the moon’s south pole.

The economy of India is characterised as a developing market economy. It is the world's 5th-largest economy by nominal GDP.
