The governments of the United States and India have agreed to work more closely together in spaceflight, with India signing the Artemis Accords and the two countries planning for a joint mission of some kind to the International Space Station. In a fact sheet distributed by the White House, the governments said they agreed that NASA and the Indian space agency ISRO would develop “a strategic framework for human spaceflight cooperation” by the end of the year. NASA had agreed early this year to provide “advanced training” for an Indian astronaut at the Johnson Space Center. The agreement adds to existing cooperation with NASA in space projects, including the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) Earth science mission. That spacecraft, using a radar provided by NASA on a spacecraft built by ISRO, is scheduled to launch early next year on an Indian rocket.
