US space agency Nasa’s Administrator Bill Nelson is in India today to meet top government and Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) officials, as both countries look to deepen their space exploration and scientific research partnership.
The visit by Nelson, a former US senator, “fulfills a commitment through the US and India initiative on critical and emerging technology spearheaded by President Joe Biden,” Nasa said in a press release on November 24.
