Growth is Limitless, as is Human Intelligence and Imagination

It has been a year since the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) created history by successfully completing its Chandrayaan-3 mission. With this accomplishment, India became the first country to land on the Moon's south pole, and the fourth to land on its surface, solidifying its global stature in space technology.

To commemorate this monumental success, India celebrated the maiden edition of National Space Day this year, centered around the theme ‘Touching Lives while Touching the Moon’. Exhibitions, panel discussions, and educative initiatives were featured across the county, all aimed at offering a deeper understanding of the impact space technology has on our everyday lives.

Continuing the momentum, the Indian Space sector achieved another milestone this August with the launch of the first reusable hybrid rocket ‘RHUMI-1’ from Thiruvidandhai, Chennai. Space Zone India, a home-grown technology startup developed the rocket in collaboration with Martin Group, which carried 50 PICO satellites and three CubeSats of varying sizes, designed to gather data on global warming and climate change. This engineering feat demonstrates the country's advancements in rocket engineering and underscores its commitment to cost-effective and innovative solutions.

The Machine Tool industry hailed as the backbone of all engineering marvels, is also making strides to meet the increasing demand for high-precision quality components for various industry applications.

The upcoming international exhibitions IMTS 2024 in Chicago and AMB 2024 in Stuttgart will see a strong presence of Indian machine tool builders, proving that ‘Made in India’ products are gaining unprecedented acceptance. As an entourage, Modern Manufacturing India will be present at both the manufacturing shows to capture the essence and report on the innovations and trends poised to shape the future of manufacturing.

Do not figure out big plans at first, but, begin slowly, feel your ground, and proceed up and up.
