Brains of ISRO, Budget of NASA : A Space Dream

By Arpit Verma

India’s space agency, ISRO have done amazing things even with small budget. While other countries spends a lot more money, ISRO showed that you don’t need to be rich to go to space — you just need smart people and big dreams. ISRO made India proud many times. It sent a spacecraft to Mars, found water on Moon, and even landed near the Moon’s south pole — all for much less money
than other space agencies.

What if ISRO got the same budget every year as NASA?

NASA (the space agency of America) gets around $25 to $27 billion every year.
ISRO only gets $1.5 to $2 billion. That’s more than 10 times less!

Some Big Things ISRO Already Did

1. Aryabhata (1975): India’s first satellite ever.
2. SLV-3 (1980): First time India launched a satellite with it’s own rocket.
3. Chandrayaan-1 (2008): It found water on Moon.
4. Mangalyaan (2013): India’s first Mars mission. It worked on first try, which is super rare!
5. Chandrayaan-3 (2023): India became first country to land near Moon’s south pole.
6. PSLV & GSLV rockets: These are rockets that launched many satellites, for India and other countries too.

What Could Happen If It Got More Money?

If ISRO had more money like NASA, it could do even more amazing things:
1. Make better rockets and send more missions to Moon, Mars and maybe Venus too.
2. Build a Indian space station where astronauts can live and work.
3. Train astronauts in India itself and send them in space for long time.
4. Launch more satellites to help with farming, internet, weather, and even disaster alerts.
5. Help other small countries launch their satellites at cheap cost. India could become one of the top space countries in the world not just for science but also for business.

At the End…

ISRO is like that clever student who don’t have many books but still comes first in class. Now imagine if that student got everything they need best books, good teachers, and all support. If ISRO had a big budget like NASA, it can do wonders. Not just for India but maybe for all humanity. Sky won’t be the limit. It will be just the beginning
