 ABOUT ISRO :-
• The Indian Space Research Organisation is the
national space agency of India, headquartered in
Bengaluru. It operates under Department of Space
(DOS) which is directly overseen by the Prime
Minister of India, while Chairman of ISRO acts as
executive of DOS as well. ISRO is the primary
agency in India to perform tasks related to space
based applications, space exploration and
development of related technologies.[6] It is one of
six government space agencies in the world which
possess full launch capabilities, deploy cryogenic
engines, launch extraterrestrial missions and
operate large fleets of artificial satellites.
The Indian National Committee for Space Research
(INCOSPAR) was established by Jawaharlal Nehru
under the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) in
1962, on the urging of scientist Vikram Sarabhai
recognising the need in space research. INCOSPAR
grew and became ISRO in 1969, within DAE.[9] In
1972, the Government of India had set up a Space
Commission and the Department of Space (DOS), 3
bringing ISRO under the DOS. The establishment

It was launched by India on 19 April 1975[ from Kapustin Yar, a Russian  rocket launch

and development site in Astrakhan Oblast using a Kosmos-3M launch vehicle. It was
built by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).The launch came from an
agreement between India and the Soviet Union directed by UR Rao and signed in 1972.
It allowed the USSR to use Indian ports for tracking ships and launching vessels in
return for launching various different Indian satellites.

 MANGALYAAN

• With the launch of Mars Orbiter Mission, India joined an exclusive global club. The mission cost was
at least 10 times lower than a similar project by the NASA(US). The Rs 450-crore project revolved
round the Red Planet and to collect data on surface, atmosphere and mineral composition of Mars
The Mars Orbiter Mission probe lifted-off from the First Launch Pad at Satish Dhawan Space
Centre (Sriharikota Range SHAR), Andhra Pradesh, using a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)
rocket C25 at 09:08 UTC on 5 November 2013. The launch window was approximately 20 days
long and started on 28 October 2013. The MOM probe spent about a month in Earth orbit, where it
made a series of seven apogee-raising orbital manoeuvre  before trans-Mars injection on 30
November 2013 (UTC. After a 298-day transit to Mars, it was put into Mars orbit on 24 September
2014.

CHANDRAYAAN-1 WAS THE FIRST INDIAN LUNAR PROBE UNDER THE CHANDRAYAAN PROGRAM. IT
WAS LAUNCHED BY THE INDIAN SPACE RESEARCH ORGANISATION IN OCTOBER 2008,AND
OPERATED UNTIL AUGUST 2009.THE MISSION INCLUDED A LUNAR ORBITER AND AN IMPACTOR.
INDIA LAUNCHED THE SPACECRAFT USING A PSLV-XL ROCKET ON 22 OCTOBER 2008 AT 00:52 UTC
FROM SATISH DHAWAN SPACE CENTRE AT SRIHARIKOTA,ANDHRA PRADESH.THE MISSION WAS A
MAJOR BOOST TO INDIA’S SPACE PROGRAM,AS INDIA RESEARCHED AND DEVELOPED ITS OWN
TECHNOLOGY IN ORDER TO EXPLORE THE MOON.THE VEHICLE WAS INSERTED INTO LUNAR
ORBIT ON 8 NOVEMBER 2008.
