The Indian Space Research Organisation is planning to develop reusable and heavy lift launchers, advanced propulsion and foster private space activities across the 2020s.
ISRO Chairman K Sivan announced the broad range of goals in a New Year’s message, underlining a major focus on research and development across the decade.
Sivan noted that the “space sector is facing disruption due to the entry of many private players” which are targeting cost-effective space transportation systems and delivery of space-based services.
