A highly promising and challenging decade awaits Isro: Chairman K Sivan

Isro new decade plans include green propulsion as well as electric propulsion

The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) has outlined its plan for the next decade in line with global directions. The space agency is planning to work on developing a heavy lift launch vehicle, semi-cryogenic stage, reusable launch vehicle, advance propulsion, next generation avionics, advance materials, dynamic space applications and efficient integration of space based services as well as advanced space science missions.

Due to restrictions imposed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many of the launches that ISRO had planned for 2020 were delayed. In 2020, ISRO could launch only two missions — one in November and the other in December 2020
