NASA Chief Offers Assistance to ISRO for India's Space Station

The US has announced plans to train and send an Indian astronaut to the International Space Station by the end of 2024, marking the first space travel by an Indian citizen since 1984. The selection of the astronaut will be done by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), and details of the mission are being worked out. Additionally, the US is ready to collaborate with India in building its first space station and is open to planning an interplanetary mission together. The US delegation also congratulated India on the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 and announced the launch of the Nasa-Isro Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite in early 2023.
