Time: 16:35 - 17:15 IST

During the last decades, the achievements by India as a space faring nation have been without precedence. From the early days of INCOSPAR in the 60's, then the establishment of ISRO in 1972 , India has excelled in all space domains ever since.
The exploration programmes such as the Chandrayaan missions have been hugely successful and the latest plans for building a space station, the Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS) and the Manned Lunar missions all included in the 2047 Space Vision clearly illustrate India's vision to be at the forefront of the world wide space exploration endeavours.
Reaching out for cooperation with other Space Agencies on working together on major programs such as the Chandrayaan 5 program with JAXA and on the Venus Orbitor Mission with many international partners signify the major opportunities for other nations to work together with ISRO on space exploration projects.
India can be truly seen as an example for space-aspiring nations the experience of which will be addressed during the panel discussion. The panel discussion will be preceeded by a key note address from one of the leading space agencies.
