How The Indian Space Industry is Lagging Behind the World

We cannot keep calling ourselves second to none, it is foolish if we do so!

Introduction

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is one of the largest space agencies in the world. Founded in 1968 by a group of scientists, it has made significant contributions to our understanding of space and helped us explore deep into outer space. However, despite its rich history and achievements, there are still some areas where ISRO could improve its performance if it wanted to move forward as an industry leader.

ISRO is dependent on the technology it has already built.

The Indian Space Research Organization is a government agency, and as such it can only build on the technology it has already developed. As a result, ISRO is dependent on the same components that other space agencies use.

ISRO must improve its technology if it wants to be able to compete with private players like SpaceX or Blue Origin in the future.

However, ISRO has not been able to make the jump from building satellites and rockets to designing them. The organization is still dependent on foreign suppliers for parts like microchips and camera sensors.

Indian space industry needs to learn from private players.

The Indian space industry has a long way to go. It needs to learn from the private sector, which is much more innovative than ISRO.

Private players are allowed to develop launch vehicles and satellites for various explorations, whereas for ISRO the only thing it can do is build rockets that carry satellites into orbit on demand from the Government and agencies. If India wants to become a world leader in space exploration, then it must allow private companies like Dhruva Space or Pixxel or Agnikul into its space program.

ISRO should also open up its research facilities so that they can be used by other countries as well as by India's own industrial partners who want access to some of these technologies

India's space industry is old and not at the cutting edge.

The Indian space industry is old and not at the cutting edge. The country has been working on its space program since the 1960s, when it launched its first satellite Aryabhata in 1975. Since then, India has been trying to catch up with other countries by launching satellites in a timely manner as well as building them from scratch using indigenous technology.

But despite this effort, India's space industry lags behind other countries like USA, China or Russia due to lack of funding and resources for research & development (R&D). To make up for this gap between us and them we have used students who are interested in engineering just like our ancestors did during their time period," said Dr Rajesh Gupta Director General ISRO who was speaking at an event held by IDG Connect Asia Pacific 2018 conference being held in Singapore between Nov 27th-28th 2018

India's lack of a thriving economy is holding back its space programme.

India's economy is not strong enough to support a space programme. The Indian economy is not growing fast enough to support a space programme.

The Indian economy is growing at a slower rate than it used to. The Indian government does not have enough money for a space programme.

Lack of innovation in the space industry.

The space industry in India is lagging behind the rest of the world. In order to compete with other countries and stay relevant, it needs to innovate more. Innovation is key for any company or business that wants to stay on top of its game.

Innovation can be defined as “the process by which something new is created from existing elements” (Merriam-Webster). Innovation makes products better, increases profits for businesses, creates jobs for people and helps them earn more money overall. It's also important because innovation leads us into new markets or industries where there may not yet exist an established market among consumers who could benefit from having access these goods/services offered by companies such as ones from the space industry too!

ISRO needs to develop launch vehicles that are reusable and also cheaper like SpaceX

Reusable launch vehicles are cheaper. A reusable launch vehicle can be launched multiple times, which means that you don't have to make new ones after every single launch. And since it's not a one-time thing, your cost for each flight goes down significantly.

Reusable launch vehicles are more efficient than non-reusable ones because they don't require constant maintenance and planning for future launches (or at least not as much). The same rocket used in one flight can be reused on another mission with minimal changes needed in its design or construction process.

Reusable rockets also tend to be more reliable as they're tested multiple times before being launched into space—something that's impossible with non-reusable rockets since they're designed specifically only once! This means less down time during missions because there won't be any unexpected issues occurring during lift offs or reentries back into Earth’s atmosphere after completing their trips around our planet."

Experiences not utilized to the complete extreme

One of the biggest challenges for ISRO has been to take advantage of its experiences in space exploration. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has a rich history in this field, but it should be able to use these experiences to their fullest extent without wasting time on extensive testing and evaluations and error mapping.

The country's first satellite Aryabhata was launched by PSLV-C11 on May 5, 1998 and became operational on June 1st that year with 31 transponders operating from 83 km altitude over Southern Asia at an orbital inclination of 97 degrees East longitude (EOLE). This made India only second after Russia who had sent Sputnik I into orbit successfully back then!

No Private Participation

If you think Indian space is lagging behind the rest of the world, it's not just because our government agencies have been slow to innovate. It's also because no private players are involved in any way—and that's where innovation and technology come from. You see, when you work with other people and use their ideas, it means that you're able to bring in new ideas and improve upon existing processes without having to spend years creating something from scratch. This can be especially helpful when costs are concerned: since no one owns a fully developed product or service yet (the only exception being ISRO), there are no financial incentives for anyone but ISRO itself.

Limited Space Missions

India's space program has been limited to one mission every year. While this is a good thing for the country, it makes it difficult for ISRO to achieve its vision of becoming an international player in space research and technology.

ISRO has not launched any satellites for other countries since Chandrayaan-2 failed in October last year. This means that there is no communication link between India and other countries, which also affects their operations at sea and air traffic control systems.

Indian Space Industry needs serious improvement.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) needs serious improvement. It has to develop launch vehicles that are reusable and also cheaper like SpaceX.

ISRO also needs to develop a space industry that is innovative and not dependent on existing technology.

Finally, ISRO should develop new launch vehicles that are reusable and also cheaper like SpaceX

Conclusion

This is a very exciting time for the Indian Space Programme. While there is still a long way to go, ISRO has made it clear that they want to succeed in all aspects of their space industry. They want more private companies involved and are looking for ways to bring about innovation in this sector. Academia should also be involved in the construction of this grandeur, which will help in prospering space exploration and research.
