ISRO has quietly kicked off designing the core systems for Bharatiya Antariksh Station, our very own space station. Yes, you read that right. By 2035, India plans to have a 5-module orbital lab in low-Earth orbit; and the first module is targeted for 2028. What’s even more interesting? It’s being built on the tech backbone of Gaganyaan. The same systems that will take Indian astronauts to space are now being scaled up to support long-duration missions; think docking tech, in-space refuelling, and even indigenous spacesuits. This isn’t just about flags and fame. It’s about becoming truly self-reliant in space tech, creating high-tech jobs, and positioning India as a serious player in the next era of human spaceflight. If you’re preparing for government exams; especially in science, tech, or defence; this is the kind of futuristic roadmap that’s going to shape syllabi, job openings, and national pride for the next decade. Pay attention. The final frontier is now our backyard.
