launched on 19 April 1975[1] from Kapustin Yar,
a Soviet rocket launch and development site in
Astrakhan Oblast using a Kosmos-3M launch
vehicle. It was built by the ISRO, and launched
by the Soviet Union as a part of the Soviet
Interkosmos programme which provided access
to space for friendly states.
Bhaskara
India’s second satellite
Bhaskara-I and II were two satellites built
by the Indian Space Research Organisation
that formed India's first low-Earth orbit
Earth observation satellite. They collected
data oceanography and hydrology. Both
satellites are named after ancient Indian
mathematicians Bhāskara I and Bhāskara II.
Rohini

Rohini is a series of satellites launched by


the Indian Space Research organization
(ISRO). The Rohini series consisted of four
satellites, each of which was launched by
the Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV)[1] and
three of which made it successfully to orbit.
The series were mostly experimental
satellites.
INSAT-1A

INSAT-1A was an Indian


communications satellite which formed part
of the Indian National Satellite System.
Launched in 1982, it was operated in
geostationary orbit at a longitude of
74° east.[3] First operational multipurpose
communication and meteorology satellite.
Procured from USA. Worked for only six
months.
Kalpana-1

First meteorological satellite built by


ISRO. Originally named METSAT-1, the
satellite was subsequently renamed
after Kalpana Chawla, who had
perished in the
Space Shuttle Columbia disaster
Chandrayaan 1
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. The mission was a major boost to
India's space program,[8] as India researched and
developed indigenous technology to explore the
Moon.[9] The vehicle was inserted into lunar orbit on 8
November 2008.[10]
Mangalyaan
The Mars Orbiter Mission also
called Mangalyaan was a space probe orbiting
Mars since 24 September 2014. It was launched
on 5 November 2013 by the
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO It is
India's first interplanetary mission and it made it
the fourth space agency to achieve Mars orbit,
after Roscosmos, NASA, and the
European Space Agency.[17] It made India the first
Asian nation to reach Martian orbit and the first
nation in the world to do so on its maiden
SathyabamaSat

A micro-satellite designed and built by


the students of Sathyabama University,
Chennai, India. This satellite collect data
on green house gases in the LEO
atmosphere
GSAT-11
GSAT-11 is an Indian geostationary
communications satellite.
5854 kg in weight.
GSAT-11 is India's heaviest satellite.
GSAT-7A

Military satellite.
Services for Indian Air Force and Indian Army.
Chandrayaan-2
The second lunar exploration mission
developed by the Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO), after Chandrayaan-1.
the lander crashed when it deviated from
its intended trajectory while attempting to
land on 6 September 2019. According to a
failure analysis report submitted to ISRO,
the crash was caused by a software glitch.
ISRO will re-attempt a landing in 2023 with
Chandrayaan-3.
Forthcoming satellites

INDIAN
SATELLITES
Shukrayaan-1

Shukrayaan-1 is a planned orbiter to


Venus by the Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO) to study the
surface and atmosphere of Venus.
The date planned for launching is
between 2024-26.
Lunar Polar Exploration Mission

The Lunar Polar Exploration mission


(LUPEX), also known as Chandrayaan-4[3],
is a robotic lunar mission concept by
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)
and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (
JAXA)[8][9][10] that would send a lunar rover
and lander to explore the south pole
region of the Moon
Mars Orbiter Mission 2

Mars Orbiter Mission 2 also


called Mangalyaan-2 is India's second
interplanetary mission planned by the
Indian Space Research Organisation
(ISRO).
