‘Moon and beyond’: US envoy Sergio Gor meets ISRO chief, discusses expanding India-America partnership in space
The meeting comes as India advances its human spaceflight programme and sets its sights on deeper space exploration.
US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor met the head of India's space agency, ISRO Chairman Dr V Narayanan, on Monday to discuss strengthening the US-India partnership in space exploration. The conversation centered on potential collaborations in human spaceflight, which has become a focus for India as it advances its own human spaceflight program, known as Gaganyaan.
ISRO is also working towards longer-term goals, such as the proposed Bharatiya Antariksh Station and a future crewed mission to the Moon. During the meeting, Gor expressed his admiration for India's participation in the Artemis Accords, an international agreement for lunar and deep space exploration, stating that the United States wants India "by our side" as it returns to the Moon. Notably, NASA has officially invited ISRO to join the Moon Base program under the Artemis Accords.
