While India's space agency may not be the first organization you think about when it comes to space
While India's space agency may not be the first organization you think about when it comes to space travel, there are many reasons we should all be following its progress.。
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has been building a space program with a bright future, and it's starting to pay off.。
SEE ALSO:India's space agency launches 8 satellites into 2 orbits。India stands apart from other big players in space exploration. Unlike the reasons for forming the U.S. and Russian space programs, India's goals for space travel aren't mainly motivated by nationalistic competition. Instead, the ISRO was founded to spur on technological development "while pursuing space science research and planetary exploration," according to the space agency's vision. 。
The ISRO is in the process of building new, more powerful rockets and launching record-numbers of spacecraft to orbit. The space agency also has its eye on far-flung planetary prizes that would propel it into the most elite ranks of space agencies around the world. 。
Here are just a few of the many milestones the ISRO has reached in the past few years:。
On Monday, India's space program launched its most powerful rocket yet。

Mangalyaan is still going strong in orbit around the red planet. The probe is gathering data about the planet's thin atmosphere and taking photos of the world's surface in the hopes of learning more about Mars' past.。
One of the main goals of the mission is to sniff out any methane that might be lurking in the atmosphere, giving scientists a clue about possible past life on the world.。
One of India's rockets launched a record number of satellites at once。
The February PSLV launch brought 88 small Dove satellites to orbit for the Silicon Valley-based Earth-monitoring company Planet, along with an Earth-gazing satellite for India.。

The Chandrayaan 2 lander -- named as the predecessor to the Chandrayaan 1 mission in 2008 -- is designed to go down to the lunar surface and sample moon dirt. 。 But before any of that, it's possible a private company based in India will actually launch a lander to the moon as part of the Google Lunar X Prize.。The X Prize competition will award a $30 million grand prize to the first company to launch a spacecraft, land it on the moon, and perform a series of tasks.。
The ISRO also wants to land a robot on Mars and fly to Venus。
