Hello Kalyankar,
It is very nice to see that you have kept some aim for yourself. Please do not go by the names. Aeronautics is the subject of study while aerospace is the name for industry in this field. But this will not take you to space science. Space Science is basically specialisation of Physics. Hence, you first need to do B.Sc. In Physics and then aim for PG in astrophysics or astronomy.
