Recently, a spacecraft, Crew Dragon, built by SpaceX has successfully carried astronauts of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at the International Space Station.
SpaceX became the first private company to launch people (human spaceflight) into orbit, a feat achieved by the US, Russia & China.
Read that how ISRO could monetize its competitive advantage.

The Union Cabinet has approved the creation of the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) to provide a level playing field for private companies to use Indian space infrastructure.
Note the key differences between IN-SPACe, ANTRIX and NSIL. We can expect a prelims question with shuffled objectives of these organisations.

A forty-year-old puzzle regarding the production of lithium in stars has been solved by Indian researchers.
✅ #Facts4Prelims
Lithium is a chemical element with the symbol Li and atomic number 3. It is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal. Under standard conditions, it is the lightest metal and the lightest solid element.
Today, it is used commonly in communication device technology.

#Space #ISRO #Chandrayaan
✅ By using CLASS instrument (Chandrayaan-2 large area soft X-ray spectrometer) carried by the second Indian Moon mission, Chandrayaan-2, scientists from ISRO have mapped out the global distribution of sodium on the Moon’s surface.
✅ Sodium is the only element apart from potassium that can be observed through telescopes in the lunar atmosphere (its exosphere). This new map of sodium would enable understanding of the surface-exosphere connection.

India has achieved remarkable successes in unmanned space missions including the Chandrayaan and Mars Orbiter Mission, but has not ventured into manned space missions, both in terms of technology and logistics? Explain critically. (CSE Mains 2017- GS3)

✅ For the very first time, NASA scientists have succeeded in slightly altering the trajectory of an asteroid by using a spacecraft to slam into it.
✅ NASA launched its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission in November 2021. It is the first-ever mission dedicated to investigating and demonstrating one method of asteroid deflection by changing an asteroid’s motion in space through kinetic impact.
