Mark your Calendar 🗓️ 5 Days to go! Witness the Launch of the Most Expensive Satellite Ever from India. @isro × @NASAJPL 🚀GSLV-F16/🛰️NISAR 🗓️30th July, 2025 ⏳5:40 PM IST 📍SDSC-SHAR, Sriharikota #ISRO #NASA #GSLVF16 #NISAR Here's the poster for the mission 👇🏻😁
NASA is using AWS for distributing NISAR data. Data is processed and hosted in cloud, available in four days. Wonder what 'at least' means here :D This is Paul Rosen, NISAR project scientist, JPL at IIIT Hyd in 2023.
ISRO's commercial arm NSIL asked a service provider what they want from national space agency at inaugural National Space day. This is CEO and MD of Tata Play, Harit Nagpal asking ISRO to make satellites that last 100 years.
A few days back, @ShachiGambhir told me her Zepto orders automatically started getting placed as COD instead of the usual online payment method. I ignored it at first, but then realized how it's yet another shady practice. Zepto has changed its default CTA on the order screen to…
What it actually looks like

Just see what are the chance that you randomly came up to this post & get to know about this. 🤦♂️ Imagine we are planning such historic Sci-fi mission and non no about them. Plz, for god sake ISRO listen to us. #ISROfixYourPR
Such a cool proposed mission, ExoWorlds by @isro to peer into atmospheres of distant exoplanets. Journalists and creators cannot talk much about it because there are no high-resolution renders, let alone stock footage and b-rolls. This is a missed opportunity. #ISROfixYourPR
We have a size measurement of 3I/Atlas based on Hubble data: "early photometric measurements for 3I suggested a nucleus radius of less than 10 km". Oumuamua and Borisov measured less than a km across. arxiv.org/abs/2507.14916
Talk to us about ZERODUR mirrors and tell us which space telescopes you plan to use them on! @isro #ISROfixYpurPR
I want to understand the technology and artistry that went into this. Who do I talk to? #ISROfixYourPR
This is how ISRO stores its launch footage. #ISROfixYpurPR. Out of ideas now so just going through my photo stream and picking five images to somehow relate 😂

Yeah absolutely, this kind of happened during the Chandrayaan 3 lander separation from propulsion module as well. #ISROfixYourPR Transparency increases confidence and public support especially when you fail.
Do you guys remember , when SPADEX was docking. Every one was posting internal news. It was like an open secret, that docking was going on. Why should we keep national achievement a secret? It was as big an event as moon landing. India deserved better coverage of ISRO's…
