Aditya-L1
|
March 2023 (expected)
|
Solar observation |
Aditya-L1 is the first Indian observatory class mission to study the solar corona using a solar coronagraph and also chromosphere using near UV instrument. X-ray spectroscopic instruments will provide flare spectra while the in-situ payload observes the solar events during their passage from Sun to Earth. [8]
|
X-ray Polarimeter Satellite
|
Q2 2023
|
Space observatory
|
The X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) is a ISRO planned space observatory to study polarization of cosmic X-rays. It is planned to be launched in 2022 on a Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) and to provide a service time of at least five years. XPoSat will study the 50 brightest known sources in the universe, including pulsars, black hole X-ray binaries, active galactic nuclei, and non-thermal supernova remnants.
|
Chandrayaan-3
|
July 2023[9]
|
Lunar lander, rover
|
Mission repeat of Chandrayaan-2 with lander, rover, and a propulsion module to attempt a soft landing of the lunar surface.
|
Gaganyaan 1
|
mid-2023
|
Uncrewed spacecraft flight test
|
Gaganyaan ("Orbital Vehicle") is an Indian crewed orbital spacecraft (jointly made by ISRO and HAL) intended to be the basis of the Indian Human Spaceflight Programme. The spacecraft is being designed to carry three people, and a planned upgraded version will be equipped with rendezvous and docking capability. This will be the first of two flight tests prior to the inaugural crewed mission.
|
Gaganyaan 2
|
2023–2024
|
Uncrewed spacecraft flight test
|
Second of two flight tests prior to the inaugural crewed mission.
|
NISAR
|
January 2024
|
SAR satellite |
NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) is a joint project between NASA and ISRO to co-develop and launch a dual-frequency synthetic aperture radar satellite to be used for remote sensing. It is notable for being the first dual-band radar imaging satellite.[10]
|
Gaganyaan 3
|
2024
|
Crewed spacecraft
|
First crewed Gaganyaan mission. If successful, India would become the fourth country in the world (after the USA, Soviet Union and China) to independently send humans in space.
|
Shukrayaan-1
|
December 2024
|
Venus orbiter
|
The Indian Venusian orbiter mission is a planned orbiter to Venus by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to study the atmosphere of Venus.
|
Mangalyaan 2
|
2024
|
Mars orbiter
|
Mars Orbiter Mission 2 (MOM 2) also called Mangalyaan 2 is India's second interplanetary mission planned for launch to Mars by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in the 2021–2022 time frame. It will consist of an orbiter, as said by ISRO chairman, K. Shivan in an interview, but chances are that it will also include a lander and a rover.[citation needed]
|
Lunar Polar Exploration Mission
|
2025
|
Lunar lander, rover
|
Lunar Polar Exploration Mission is a concept mission by JAXA and ISRO to explore the south pole region of the Moon in 2025. The mission concept has not yet been formally proposed for funding and planning.
|
AstroSat-2
|
TBD
|
Space telescope
|
AstroSat-2 is India's second dedicated multi-wavelength space telescope, proposed by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) as the successor of the current Astrosat-1 observatory. ISRO launched an 'Announcement of Opportunity in February 2018 requesting proposals from Indian scientists for ideas and the development of instruments for astronomy and astrophysics.
