NASA has invited India to participate in its planned Moon base mission as the two countries look to deepen cooperation in space exploration.
The invitation comes as officials from both sides discuss expanding collaboration in lunar science, human spaceflight and advanced space technologies.
The partnership could give India a greater role in future efforts to establish a sustained human presence around the Moon while strengthening scientific and technological ties between the two countries.
The discussions also reflect growing international interest in lunar exploration, with space agencies increasingly seeking partnerships to share expertise, technology and mission costs.
Further cooperation between NASA and India could open the door to joint research, astronaut missions and future human exploration beyond the Moon.
