The first venture between India and Europe took place in the 1980s. In 1981, Europe’s Ariane 3 rocket launched into space India’s first geostationary satellite Apple. The cooperation continues today with India’s lunar mission Chandrayaan-1.
Play nowIndia’s INSAT satellites were also designed for weather forecasting and Earth observation. Thirteen of them lifted-off with Europe’s Ariane launchers. Today India has developed its own launchers at its Sriharikota base in the Bay of Bengal and is about to enter a new stage with its first lunar mission Chandrayaan-1. The large antenna designed by the Indian Space Agency and specially installed outside Bangalore to monitor the Chandrayaan-1 mission forms part of India’s deep space network and is a good illustration of India’s desire to play a role in the conquest of space and to offer its services to other countries. India is also interested in other forms of cooperation that go beyond lunar discovery and astronomical missions.

Chandrayaan-1 in a nutshell
Chandrayaan-1 was the first Indian space agency (ISRO) probe to make it to the surface of the Moon. The mission analysed the composition and geology of the lunar surface.
Europe all set for lunar mission Chandrayaan-1
Europe is participating in a big way in the Indian Space Agency’s Chandrayaan-1 mission to the Moon, by contributing three instruments. All these instruments have now been delivered, tested and integrated with the spacecraft.
Europe’s next ride to the Moon: Chandrayaan-1
Excitement is rising as ESA is in the final stages of preparation for the first collaborative space mission with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Chandrayaan-1 will study the Moon in great detail and be the first Indian scientific mission leaving Earth’s vicinity.
