Let us tell you that, before the factsheet was released, 'ICET (India-US Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technologies)' talks were held between US NSA Jake Sullivan and Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval on Monday. Sullivan and Doval said in New Delhi on Monday that to deepen mutual cooperation in space, they have decided on a strategic human space flight cooperation framework and they are working towards starting training of ISRO astronauts at the 'NASA Johnson Space Center'.

Cooperation has to be increased

Recently, US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti had informed that the US will send an Indian astronaut to the International Space Station by the end of this year. He had said that a joint mission between the US space agency NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation under the NISAR project could also be launched by the end of this year. He had said that the amount India spent on Mission Chandrayaan 3 last year was the same amount that the US had spent on a similar lunar mission. Garcetti had also said that the US has some capabilities that India still lacks. Both countries will have to increase mutual cooperation to strengthen their capabilities together.
