On the occasion of National Space Day, we are honored to be featured by @iitbombay! 💕 We hope to be India's eyes on transient skies by launching the world's most sensitive telescope! Thank you for the shout-out! 🚀 @isro @PRLAhmedabad @TIFRScience @IUCAAstro @RRI_Bangalore
Daksha, led by IIT Bombay, in collaboration with PRL, TIFR, RRI, IUCAA, and several ISRO centers is set to be a game-changer in space exploration. With twin high-energy satellites, Daksha will outshine all existing missions and will uncover thousands of cosmic mysteries.
