Want to put up first 'Bharatiya Antariskha Station' by 2028 using existing launcher capability: Isro chairman Somanath
Thursday, 11 January 2024 India plans to establish the Bharatiya Antariksha Station by 2028, which will serve as a laboratory for experiments. By 2035, the aim is to have research institutions and scientific establishments deriving benefits and economic outcomes from the station. Isro will seek out companies and institutions to create economic activities. Over the next 5-10 years, numerous spacecraft will need to be constructed by industries to undertake various tasks on Earth from space. This offers them a chance to actively engage and contribute to the expansion of the sector, he emphasized.
Ten of the total 14 districts in Kerala are among the 30 most landslide-prone districts in the country, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) noted in its 2023 report, raising alarm over the increasing vulnerability of the Western Ghats. But it has not slowed down the pace of development in the sensitive region, setting it up for one disaster after another, experts say. The risk assessment led by the Hyderabad-based National Remote Sensing Centre ranked Thrissur third among the most vulnerable districts after Rudraprayag and Tehri Garhwal in Uttarakhand.
