ISRO on Wednesday launched India's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-XL (PSLV-XL) rocket carrying advanced earth observation satellite Cartosat-3 and 13 US nanosatellites from Sriharikota.

In yet another development about the crashed Vikram lander from Chandrayaan 2, the information has been provided that it touched down moon's surface within the range of 500 meters of the assigned target location.

The China has successfully completed the crucial landing test for the historic unmanned exploration mission to Mars 2020.

NASA has detected a massive 721-foot asteroid with an Earth-crossing orbit currently headed for the planet. As mentioned by the Agency's Centre for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the asteroid is off the Golden Gate Bridge tower. CNEOS estimated that the asteroid is about 721 feet wide.

There has been a long debate on the perception that the universe is flat; but a new study has come up claiming that it is actually curved.

ISRO chief K Sivan attended IIT-Delhi 50th convocation ceremony on Saturday and said that his team is now looking forward to attempt Vikram lander's second landing on Moon's South Pole, after first could not be achieved successfully.

The new planet, named GJ 3512b, is seen revolving around M-type red dwarf. This kind of star is quite small, traditionally one fifth the size of the sun and up to 50 times dimmer. For comparison, our sun weighs roughly 333,000 times more than Earth while GJ 3512b's star only weighs 270 times more. Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, weighs around 1,047 times less than the sun.

The high resolution images of the landing site have been clicked by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft during its flyby on September 17. Since the images have been captured during the dusk, the scientists failed to get the picture of Vikram lander.

The NASA on Saturday took to Twitter to commend ISRO's attempt to land its Chandrayaan-2 mission on the South Pole of the Moon.

Communication to the Chandrayaan 2's lander Vikram was lost. At 3.10 am, an ISRO scientist - not the chief - announced that a planned press conference had been called off.

The ISRO had organized an online quiz to increase the awareness about its space programme from August 10 to August 25. Only school children were allowed to participate in the quiz from class VIII to Class X.

The second Lunar bound orbit manoeuvre for Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft was performed successfully as planned, using the onboard propulsion system.

The Indian Space Research Organisation on Wednesday revealed that the India's Chandrayaan 2 successfully performed a critical manoeuvre that lasted about 20 minutes as it moved more close to the Moon.

India's second moon mission achieved the "biggest milestone" as the scientists successfully placed it in the lunar orbit on August 20. The lunar-rover will now start a descent to the moon on September 7.

Nova Spivack, co-founder of AMF, told The Hindu that the Lunar Library contained a small sample from the Bodhi tree in India, along with material on learning Hindi, Urdu and information on music.

Indian Space Research Organisation's (Isro) shared first pictures of Earth clicked from Chandrayaan-2 from the space.

Hours after India successfully launched Chandrayaan 2 from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh, NASA congratulated the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for the successful launch. Tweeting about it, NASA mentioned that they are looking forward to see the findings from the mission.

After technical glitch on July 15, ISRO on Monday (July 22) launched India's second lunar mission Chandrayaan 2 on a powerful GSLV-MkIII-M1 rocket from its spaceport in Sriharikota to explore the unchartered south pole of the celestial body by landing a rover.
