>ISRO robotics challenge
>Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully landed Chandrayaan-3 Vikram on the lunar surface and Pragyan explored near to the southern pole of the Moon. Post this accomplishment, it is time to look at future robotic exploration missions to the Moon and other planetary bodies. It has been a constant endeavour at ISRO that, we create unique opportunities for academia & industry to participate in the technology developmental activities commensurate with organisational objectives. In line with these objectives, U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC) solicits from the youth of India, innovative ideas and designs of robotic rovers for future missions through the conduct of IRoC-U. The objective here is to provide development opportunities in space robotics to the participating entities and to leverage the creative thinking among the youth of our Nation for ISRO interplanetary missions. It is also expected to play an important role in augmenting ISRO’s activities in space exploration.

Upcoming launches from ISRO from August 2025 to march 2026.
>Q4 2025 : LVM3-M5 / GSAT-7R (Note : Matches the render from here, CMS-02 labeling is wrong as that is alternate name for GSAT-24)
>Q4 2025 : PSLV-C62 / NSIL (strategic user payload) (Note : The render for satellite used here is misleading and is of Oceansat-3A from this presentation, satellite could be 'Anvesha' or 'Anwesha' we'll see.)
>Q4 2025 : Gaganyaan G1
>Q4 2025 : GSLV-F17 / NVS-03
>Q4 2025 : SSLV-L1 (Note : The serial letter was 'S' earlier, not sure why it changed.)
>Q1 2026 : LVM3-M6 / Bluebird FM1 (at 4:39 slide shows it is slotted for Dec 2025-Jan 2026)
>Q1 2026 : PSLV-N1 / TDS-01

>ISRO chairman explains how ISRO flagged a potentially catastrophic leak on the Falcon-9 and forced SpaceX to call off an earlier launch, which could have risked the lives of four astronauts included Shubhanshu Shukla.
>Isro asked 14 questions, only 2 were answered by SpaceX team
>Isro team not confident of the launch they asked for review
Interesting so that's why the mission was postponed.
