Great news for India's space program especially considering INR4.54 billion (US$74 million) cost for an interplanetary mission like this, it should be a crash course in frugal space engineering. I really believe ISRO can form a close partnership with NASA in future to launch supply to ISS and much more.
- swatkat 12y agoYes. Chandrayaan-2 (second Moon mission) consisting of a lander and rover is already in the works. Also, with the qualification of GSLV Mk3 medium-heavy lift vehicle and re-entry capsules[1], ISRO would be able to contribute more to "space transportation" missions.

- gordon_freeman 12y agoTrue. I do believe that by doing close collaboration with NASA, ESA etc. India can help accelerate space missions all over the world. It will certainly be a win-win partnership because these Space agencies will save lots of money and India will gain expertise in executing complex missions.
