At the 7th convocation of the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing (IIITDM) in Kurnool, ISRO Chairman Dr. V. Narayanan revealed ambitious plans for India’s space future. He announced that the Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS), India’s first modular space station, is targeted for completion by 2035. The first module, BAS-1, is scheduled for launch in 2028 aboard ISRO’s LVM-3 rocket. This development is part of India’s broader vision to enhance its capabilities in space research and technological innovation.
Dr. Narayanan highlighted India’s significant achievements in space exploration, including the successful launch of 104 satellites in a single mission and advancements in cryogenic engine technology. He emphasized the importance of innovation and research in maintaining India’s leadership in space science. The establishment of BAS is expected to bolster India’s position in global space research and provide a platform for conducting advanced scientific experiments in microgravity.
Dr. Narayanan also encouraged graduates to focus on inclusive growth and to leverage emerging technologies like artificial intelligence to address national challenges. He expressed confidence that IIITDM Kurnool would evolve into a premier institution for research and innovation.
