Indian space science experiments started from the year 1975 when our first satellite Aryabhata launched. This satellite was actually be based on X-Ray astronomy and solar physics technology. On further development Spacelab/Anuradha satellite will launch to study cosmic ray in the year 1985. Further, two or more decade's needed for staring our interplanetary missions.

| Chandrayaan-1 Mission |
In 2008, India's first lunar mission named as Chandrayaan-1 was scratch the moon soil with indigenously developed technology. This lunar mission contains satellite which land on the moon as hard landing and their prime goal to find water on the moon. The availability of water on the moon was discovered by the ISRO Chandrayaan-1 mission successfully.

| Mars Orbiter Mission(MOM) |
However, ISRO has decided to launch more missions to explore outer space where life exists. The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) has created history in 2013 for the Indian space program. The satellite of MOM mission was orbit around the mars in the first attempt to launch with successful communication established between satellite and ground stations. The costs of this mission were 10 times less than NASA mars mission.
India's second moon mission named as Chandrayaan-2 has recently launched in July 2019 to explore the south pole region of the moon. The Chandrayaan-2 mission has divided into three parts such as Orbiter, Lander, and Rover.
