New Delhi: After the success of Chandrayaan-3, India is now preparing to take a big leap in the field of space. Soon it will carry out four more missions related to space. This also includes the first space station to be established in space. Which will be established by December 2028. With this, India will become the third country in the world to establish its own station in space.

At present, there are only two stations in space. The first station is established with the cooperation of America, Russia and European countries, which is called the international station, while the second station belongs to China.

Approval in four major proposals related to space

In the Union Cabinet meeting held on Wednesday under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, four major proposals related to the space sector were approved. The most important of these include the establishment of the first space station and the Gaganyaan follow-on mission. A total of Rs 20,193 crore will be spent on this.

The mission will be completed in 36 months

Along with this, the cabinet has also given its approval to the Chandrayaan-4 mission. Which will not only land on the moon but will also return safely with some things from there. The target has been set to complete the mission in the next 36 months.

Approval in other missions related to space

After Chandrayaan-3, this will be a big mission in that direction. A total of Rs 2104 crore will be spent on this. Along with this, the cabinet has approved other space-related missions, including the Venus Orbiter Mission. In which a spacecraft will be sent to the orbit of Venus, for which a separate new launching vehicle has also been approved for preparation.

PM Modi had already announced

It is believed that this new launching vehicle will make it easier to send astronauts in the coming days. It is worth noting that PM Modi had announced to establish his own station in space only after the success of Chandrayaan-3.
