Started back in 1999, today this event has grown into the largest public space event on Earth. Last year alone there were 3,700 events conducted in 80 countries to celebrate the excitement over future space exploration missions. This year the theme will be “Space Unites The World” and in 2019 the theme will be “The Moon: Gateway to the Stars.” Some of the highlights of this year’s Space Week include the release of mini space documentaries every day by IMAX,  advanced screening of National Geographic’s Mars 2 docu-series in the USA and lots more. Commemorating this exciting week, tech2 has made a small quiz about India’s progress through the years in the field of space exploration and rocket science.
