India launches space observation research centre in Assam

The advanced research centre will be equipped with modern radar systems and optical telescopes designed to track space objects and strengthen India’s space observation capabilities.

The project is expected to contribute to the country’s efforts to improve space object monitoring and will also enable Assam to become part of the national ecosystem for space research.

Earlier, it was reported that India would expand its space economy fivefold to nearly US$44 billion by 2033, aiming to turn advances in space science into high-skilled jobs, cutting-edge technologies, and innovative space-based applications.
