1- India’s first global navigation system NAVIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation) has started. ‘Navik’ moves with the help of seven satellites. It is similar to American GPS but in India it will work more accurately than GPS. With this, India became one of the few countries in the world that have their own navigation system. Prior to this, only the US, Russia, China and the European Union had their own navigation systems. By law, India cannot use GPS during war, so “navigator” is a big achievement for him.
2- The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) sent the first India-made spacecraft into space in May this year. India sent this spacecraft from India-made ‘Reusable Launch Vehicle-Technology Demonstrator’.

7- NASA sent its first asteroid sampling mission ‘Osiri-Rex’ to space. The purpose of this spacecraft is to collect small and broken pieces of dust from the surface of the asteroid. This vehicle will return to Earth by 2023, then scientists will be able to study the samples brought by it.
8- NASA released hundreds of new photos of deep space on the 50th anniversary of Star Trek.
