SCIENCE SECTION now i want to talk with you about ISRO INDIA'S SPACE ORGANISATION ----
About ISRO
India decided to go to space when Indian National
Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was set up by the Government of
India in 1962. With the visionary Dr Vikram Sarabhai at its helm,
INCOSPAR set up the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS)
in Thiruvananthapuram for upper atmospheric research.
Indian Space Research Organisation, formed in
1969, superseded the erstwhile INCOSPAR. Vikram Sarabhai, having
identified the role and importance of space technology in a Nation's
development, provided ISRO the necessary direction to function as an
agent of development. ISRO then embarked on its mission to provide the
Nation space based services and to develop the technologies to achieve
the same independently.
Throughout the years, ISRO has upheld its mission
of bringing space to the service of the common man, to the service of
the Nation. In the process, it has become one of the six largest space
agencies in the world. ISRO maintains one of the largest fleet of
communication satellites (INSAT) and remote sensing (IRS) satellites,
that cater to the ever growing demand for fast and reliable
communication and earth observation respectively. ISRO develops and
delivers application specific satellite products and tools to the
Nation: broadcasts, communications, weather forecasts, disaster
management tools, Geographic Information Systems, cartography,
navigation, telemedicine, dedicated distance education satellites being
some of them.
To achieve complete self reliance in terms of
these applications, it was essential to develop cost efficient and
reliable launch systems, which took shape in the form of the Polar
Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). The famed PSLV went on to become a
favoured carrier for satellites of various countries due to its
reliability and cost efficiency, promoting unprecedented international
collaboration. The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) was
developed keeping in mind the heavier and more demanding Geosynchronous
communication satellites.
Apart from technological capability, ISRO has also
contributed to science and science education in the country. Various
dedicated research centres and autonomous institutions for remote
sensing, astronomy and astrophysics, atmospheric sciences and space
sciences in general function under the aegis of Department of Space.
ISRO's own Lunar and interplanetary missions along with other scientific
projects encourage and promote science education, apart from providing
valuable data to the scientific community which in turn enriches
science.
Future readiness is the key to maintaining an edge
in technology and ISRO endeavours to optimise and enhance its
technologies as the needs and ambitions of the country evolve. Thus,
ISRO is moving forward with the development of heavy lift launchers,
human spaceflight projects, reusable launch vehicles, semi-cryogenic
engines, single and two stage to orbit (SSTO and TSTO) vehicles,
development and use of composite materials for space applications etc. Know more about ISRO's genesis
