Dr APJ Abdul Kalam

"Wings of Fire" can refer to two well-known works. It is either the sweeping dragon fantasy novel series by Tui T. Sutherland or the inspiring autobiography of former Indian President and scientist Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.

Was there a beginning of time? Could time run backwards? Is the universe infinite or does it have boundaries? These are just some of the questions considered in an internationally acclaimed masterpiece which begins by reviewing the great theories of the cosmos from Newton to Einstein, before delving into the secrets which still lie at the heart of space and time.Stephen Hawking

Shubhanshu Shukla

What if your dream wasn’t yours alone? In The Second Orbit, Shubhanshu Shukla strips away the spectacle of space travel to reveal something far more powerful, the inner battle to keep believing when everything pushes you to stop. Behind every launch is a thousand silent breakdowns. Behind every orbit is a moment where quitting feels easier. This is that story. From brutal training modules to the stillness of space, Shubhanshu captures what it means to carry not just ambition, but expectation, the hopes of 1.4 billion people riding on one fragile human resolve. This is not a victory lap. A mindset. A mirror. Because the real question isn’t how far you can go, it’s how long you can hold on when things get hard.

Indian Space Hub

Skyroot Aerospace has officially announced Vikram-1 Test Flight-1: Mission Aagaman, marking India's first private orbital rocket launch. The mission will lift off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, into a 450 km Low Earth Orbit with a 60° inclination during the launch window from July 12 to August 4, 2026. With the vehicle now fully stacked at the historic First Launch Pad, Mission Aagaman represents a major milestone for India's growing private space ecosystem and the future of commercial spaceflight.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully carried out three major tests of the Gaganyaan Crew Module systems. The first test validated the Crew Module Uprighting System, which ensures that the crew module returns to an upright position after splashdown in the sea. The system, based on stored cold-gas technology, is a critical safety feature for astronauts.
