The highlight of the year will undoubtedly be the launch of Chandrayaan-1, India's first mission to Venus. This historic mission will study the Venusian atmosphere, surface, and interior, and could shed new light on the planet's mysterious history.

Shukrayaan-1: India's Voyage to Venus Shukrayaan-1 is expected to launch in June 2024 and will arrive at Venus in December 2025. The mission will carry a suite of instruments, including a radar, a mass spectrometer, and a camera, to study the planet's thick atmosphere, scorching surface, and possible underground water. Scientists hope that Shukraya-1 will help us understand how Venus, once Earth's twin, transformed into the hellish world it is today.

Other Missions in 2024 In addition to Shukraya-1, ISRO has several other missions planned for 2024. These include: – Aditya-L1: A mission to study the Sun's corona from a unique vantage point. – Gaganyaan-2: A test flight of India's human spacecraft capsule. – EOS-06: An Earth observation satellite that will monitor the environment. – Cartosat-3: A high-resolution Earth observation satellite.

ISRO's Growing Ambitions ISRO's ambitious space program has made significant strides in recent years. The agency has successfully launched several satellites, including the Mars Orbiter Mission and the Chandrayaan-2 lunar mission. With missions like Shukraya-1 on the horizon, ISRO is poised to play an even more significant role in space exploration in the years to come.
