India aims to establish the Bharatiya Antariksh Station by which year?

📘 Explanation / व्याख्या:

India aims to establish its own Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS) — a modular space station — by the year 2035, with the first module (BAS‑01) expected to be launched by 2028 as part of phased development. This space station will enable India to conduct long‑duration human space missions, microgravity research, and other advanced experiments in low Earth orbit.

भारत अपनी बहुमॉड्यूल वाली अंतरिक्ष स्टेशन “भारतीय अंतरिक्ष स्टेशन (BAS)” को 2035 तक स्थापित करने का लक्ष्य रखता है। इसके पहले मॉड्यूल BAS‑01 का 2028 तक प्रक्षेपण होने की योजना है, और इसके बाद अन्य मॉड्यूल जोड़कर स्टेशन को पूरी तरह से तैयार किया जाएगा। इस स्टेशन में दीर्घकालीन मानव अंतरिक्ष मिशन, माइक्रोग्रेविटी अनुसंधान और अन्य वैज्ञानिक परीक्षण किए जा सकेंगे।
