ISRO Launches IMEx-2026: Indian Scientists Invited for Microgravity Experiments

  • ISRO announced IMEx-2026, inviting proposals from Indian scientists for microgravity experiments in space.
  • IMEx-2026 is a call for experiments to be conducted in the near-weightless environment of space, part of India's human spaceflight roadmap.
  • Experiments could fly aboard future Indian space missions, including the Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS), India's planned space station.
  • Principal investigators from academic institutions, national laboratories, and industry (including start-ups) are eligible to apply.
  • Proposals must be submitted by February 28, 2026, and will be selected based on scientific merit, feasibility, and potential impact.

Why It Matters: ISRO's IMEx-2026 opens a new frontier for Indian scientists to conduct microgravity experiments in space.
