ISRO is one of the biggest contender in space race despite limitations on funding and resources. Many milestones achieved by ISRO like Mars Orbiter Mission, Chandrayaan, 104 satellite launched in orbit on a single rocket put them in the forefront of space race. ISRO might have very less funding in comparison to other major space agency like NASA,JAXA,ROSCOSMOS, ESA, CNSA, CSA but determination of space scientists and there hardwork put ISRO in above elite space groups. There is no ranking system but if I would like to give ISRO a rank and on which most of the people will believe is: 1.NASA 2 ROSCOSMOS 3.CNSA 4.ESA 5.JAXA and ISRO 6.CSA

September 1,2019 Today ISRO announced that Chandrayaan2  consisting of orbiter, lander and rover did its final and fifth lunar bound orbit maneuver. ISRO stated that they have successfully conducted this maneuver at IST 6:21 pm which took 52 seconds. Next and most crucial maneuver will be held tomorrow September 1,2019 which will separate Vikram lander from the orbit. Vikram lander with Rover Pragyan will land on moon on September 7,2019 if everything goes right.
