How powerful is ISRO? Who is the most powerful space agency in the world? See the list of top 5
Top 5 Space Agencies: 77 countries have space agencies. Out of these, space agencies of 16 countries have the power to launch rockets. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) suffered a major disappointment on Monday. Their PSLV-C62 deviated from its planned path. This is the second setback for the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) in about 8 months. PSLV-C62 was intended to send a hyperspectral imaging satellite called EOS-N1 into space. It was developed by the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) for strategic purposes. This satellite would enhance India’s surveillance capabilities, which would be beneficial for farming, urban mapping and environmental observation.
The mission failed due to technical problems in the upper stage of PSLV-C62. This not only caused a big blow to ISRO, but also caused huge loss to the Indian treasury. ISRO is one of the powerful agencies in the world, which has conducted many successful missions including Chandrayaan.
NASA is the most powerful space agency
The most powerful space agency in the world is America’s NASA. It was built in 1958. NASA sent man to the moon through Apollo mission. Hubble telescope helped in understanding the universe. Made many achievements on Mars. NASA’s annual budget is $25 billion. It is allocated by the US government.
ESA is formed by the alliance of 22 countries
It is made up of an alliance of 22 countries. ESA was formed in 1975. Since then it has been showing Europe’s strength in space. This agency had created history by landing a lander on a comet under the Rosetta mission. Similarly, Galileo Satellite System provided an alternative to GPS. The European Space Agency has a wealth of resources, scientific minds and technology.
CNSA shocked the world
China National Space Administration (CNSA), formed in China in 1993, has surprised the world with its progress. This Chinese space agency is planting flags on every planet. Chang’e mission has successfully stepped on the moon. Successfully landed rovers on Tiangong Space Station and Mars. Russia’s Roscosmos space agency is one of the world’s leading space agencies. It made an important contribution to the space exploration of the Soviet Union. Roscosmos suffered a loss of $2.1 billion due to tensions in relations with Western countries following the Russia-Ukraine war. This has affected his research. Russia spends 180 billion rubles every year for Roscosmos.
