"Nurturing Space for Advancement: Chandrayaan's Triumph to Elevate ISRO's Achievements"
Former ISRO Chief, Kasturirangan, underscores the profound significance of Chandrayaan-3, emphasizing that it positions India firmly within the league of nations shaping policies for planetary exploration and resource extraction from space. This assertion gains added weight when we consider India's decision in June to become the 27th signatory to the Artemis Accords, a US-led initiative aimed at implementing the fundamental principles of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty.
Two transformative factors have reshaped India's outlook. First, ISRO's development of indigenous capabilities after the sanctions has made collaboration with it an enticing proposition for various space agencies. Secondly, the global geopolitical landscape has evolved significantly over the last four decades, with China emerging not only as a strategic rival to the US but also as a prominent spacefaring nation. ISRO's collaboration with NASA has deepened over the past 15 years.
Additionally, Indian industries stand to benefit significantly. For instance, since the 1980s, ISRO has been transferring technology to domestic companies, particularly those engaged in special materials, chemicals, broadcasting, and navigation.
The successful soft landing on the Moon brings it closer to realizing its original vision of becoming a conduit for the diffusion of technology.
