New Delhi: ISRO Chairman V Narayanan said 10 satellites were continuously working to ensure the safety and security of the country’s citizens. He made this statement while speaking at the convocation ceremony of the Central Agricultural University in Manipur’s Imphal on Sunday.
The ISRO chief also claimed that India was becoming a “vibrant space power.” It will have its first space station by 2040, he added.
“Today, 433 satellites of 34 countries are lifted from India and placed in orbit. I am also happy to inform you that today, 10 satellites are continuously working 24/7 for a strategic purpose to ensure the safety and security of the citizens of the country,” he said during the programme.

This statement comes amid the military conflict between India and Pakistan. The country launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 to destroy terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir. This was in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives.
“If we have to ensure the safety of our country, we have to serve through our satellites. We have to monitor our 7,000 km seashore. We have to monitor the entire northern part continuously. Without satellite and drone technology, we can’t achieve that,” he added.
The Indian Space Research Organisation is developing a satellite for G20 countries to study climate and air pollution and monitor weather, he informed the gathering.
