2024 Sets Ambitious Targets: Building Space Station, Starting Fast Breeder Reactor, and Boosting Research

The article from MSN discusses India's ambitious space and nuclear energy goals for 2024. Key highlights include the initiation of the Bharatiya Antariksha Station (Indian Space Station) project, with plans to launch its first module by 2028, aiming for full operational capability by 2035. This station will serve as a hub for microgravity experiments and technology demonstrations. Additionally, India is set to start construction on its first fast breeder reactor, the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam, which will use a closed fuel cycle to generate more nuclear fuel than it consumes, enhancing energy security and reducing nuclear waste. Furthermore, there's a push to boost research in various scientific fields, with increased funding and international collaborations, particularly in space technology, nuclear science, and renewable energy, aiming to position India as a leader in these areas.
