Addressing the media after bilateral talks with PM Modi, President Biden said India and the U.S. were collaborating in nearly every human endeavour in delivering progress across the board.
“From designing new ways to diagnosing and treating new illnesses like cancer and diabetes to collaboration on human space flight, including on sending an Indian astronaut to the international space station in 2024…,” President Biden said with PM Modi by his side.
PM Modi also said that India has decided to sign the Artemis Accords and taken a great leap forward.
“We have decided to join the Artemis Accords. We have taken a giant leap in our space cooperation. In short, I would say even the sky is not the limit for cooperation with the U.S.,” PM Modi said.
Grounded in the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 (OST), the Artemis Accords are a non-binding set of principles designed to guide civil space exploration and use in the 21st century. It is an American-led effort to return humans to the moon by 2025, with the ultimate goal of expanding space exploration to Mars and beyond.
