A New Era in Space Education Begins
Aryabhata — 1550th Birth Anniversary
At ARSHA Space School (ArSS), we commemorate the 1550th birth anniversary of Aryabhata, the pioneering astronomer–mathematician who transformed humanity’s understanding of the cosmos through observation, mathematics, and reason.
His insights into Earth’s motion and celestial phenomena continue to shape modern space science.
ARSHA Space School is a national space education initiative that facilitates,knowledge, connects institutions, and inspires students to understand space science not as distant theory, but as a living force shaping life,technology, and the future of humanity.
