Bengaluru, March 4 (Ians) India has agreed to expand space cooperation with Italy by tapping opportunities in earth observation, space science, robotic and human exploration, the state-run Indian space agency said on Thursday.
"At a bilateral meeting in virtual mode with the Italian Space Agency (Isa) on Wednesday, we have agreed to form thematic working groups to work on earth observation, space science and robotic and human exploration," said Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) in a statement here.
