ISRO
Headquarter-Banglore,Karnataka
Founder-Vikram Sarabhai
Chairman-K Sivan
ISRO Superseded the erstwhile Indian National Commitee for Space Research (INCOSPAR), thus
institutionalizing space activities in India.
ISRO built India's first satellite, Aryabhata, which was launched by the Soviet Union on 19 April in
1975.
In 1980, Rohini became the first satellite to be placed in orbit by an Indian-made launch vehicle, SLV-
3.
ISRO subsequently developed two other rockets: the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle(PSLV) for launching
satellites into polar orbits and the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) for placing satelites
into geostationary orbits. These rockets
have launched numerous communications satellites and earth observation satellites. Satellite navigation
systems like GAGAN and IRNS have been deployed.
In January 2014, ISRO successfully used an indigenous cryogenic engine in a GSLV-D5 launch of the
GSAT-14.
Chandrayaan-2:
Chandrayaan-2, one of the most ambitious lunar mission of India designed by Indian Space Research
Organization (ISRO) launched from the Sriharikota space station,Andra Pradesh, on 22 July 2019 at 2.43
p.m. by a GSLV Mark III M1.
The Mission that costs $145m will be the first to land on the Moon’s south pole.
it consists of a lunar orbiter, and also included the Vikram lander, and the Pragyan lunar rover.
Chandrayaan-2 is the second lunar mission of India and the first attempt to conduct a soft landing on
the Moon’s South Polar Region.
The main scientific objective of Chandryaan-2 is to map the location and abundance of lunar water.
