Today, I am proud to say that an Indian space tech startup, Bengaluru’s ‘Pixel ‘ has successfully launched India’s first private satellite constellation – ‘Fire-Fly’, the world’s highest-resolution hyperspectral satellite. This achievement has not only made India a leader in modern space technology, but is also a big step towards self-reliant India. This achievement is a symbol of the growing strength and innovation of our private space sector. On behalf of the entire country, I congratulate the ‘Pixel’ team, ISRO, and In-Space for this.”

When two spacecraft are connected in space, this process is called space docking. It is said that this technology is important for sending supplies to space and for crew missions. India became the fourth country to achieve success in this.

This research of ‘XTEM’ will strengthen India’s Gaganyaan mission and will also open new avenues of modern technology in manufacturing. All these achievements are proof that India’s scientists and innovators are solving the challenges of the future. There are so many visionaries to give. Today, I wish the scientists, innovators and young entrepreneurs of India all the best.

An example from Assam was also shared with the countrymen.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also mentioned an elephant in Mann Ki Baat. This story of wildlife was from ‘Naugaon’ of Assam. PM Modi made everyone aware of the interesting reality. PM Modi said that my dear countrymen, you must have seen many times the pictures of amazing friendship between humans and animals, you must have heard the stories of loyalty of animals. Be it pets or animals living in the forest, their relationship with humans is often surprising. Animals may not be able to speak, but humans can sense their emotions and body language very well. Animals also understand the language of love and follow it too. I want to share an example from Assam with you. (Also input from IANS)
