Trace India’s journey through its space program, from its early skywatchers, the myths and legends, and the dreamers in a newly independent country, to the visionaries who continue to inspire generations to look towards the stars.In 1947, a newly independent India struggled to manage its new borders, limited resources, and a burgeoning population.
