world's largest constellation of remote-sensing satellites and operates
two satellite navigation systems namely GAGAN and NAVIC.
Goals in near future include expanding satellites fleet, landing a rover on Moon, sending humans into space, development of a semi-cryogenic engine, sending more unmanned missions to moon, Mars, Venus and Sun and deployment of more space telescopes in orbit to observe consmic phenomena and outerspace beyond solar
system. Long term plans include development of reusable launchers, heavy and super heavy launch vehicles, deploying a space station, sending exploration missions to external planets like Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and asteroids and manned missions to Moon and planets.
5. CNSA (CHINA)
China National Space Administration (CNSA) is the national space agency of China responsible for the national space program and for planning and development of space activities.The annual
