Full form of ISRO

The full form ISRO is the Indian Space Research Organization. It is the space agency of the Government of India and is headquartered in the Bengaluru region. The goal is to develop space exploration for national growth while exploring space science and planetary exploration. It is one of the largest space agencies in the world.

History of ISRO

The Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was established in 1962 by Jawaharlal Nehru under the DAE (Department of Atomic Energy) with an immediate recognition of the need for space research by scientist Vikram Sarabhai. INCOSPAR evolved under DAE in 1969 and became ISRO. The Government of India established the Space Commission and Space Department (DOS) in 1972, including ISRO under DOS. While the establishment of ISRO established space exploration activities in India, it is regulated by the DOS and reports to the Prime Minister of India.

ISRO Operations Centers

ISRO operates through a regional network of centres.

  • Sensors and payloads are manufactured at the Ahmedabad Space Applications Center.
  • The satellites are designed, manufactured, installed and tested at Bangalore's U R Rao Satellite Center or ISRO Centre.
  • The launch vehicles are manufactured at the Thiruvananthapuram Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre.
  • The launches are carried out at Sriharikota Island near Chennai at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre.
  • Hasana and Bhopal are the main control facilities for the geostationary satellite stations.
  • The remote sensing data acquisition and storage facility is located at the National Remote Sensing Center in Hyderabad.
  • ISRO's commercial arm is Antrix Corporation, headquartered in Bangalore.

Achievements and plans

ISRO has deployed several space systems for telecommunications, meteorology, disaster warning, television broadcasting and Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites, including the Indian National Satellite System (INSAT), for monitoring and resource management.

  1. ISRO subsequently developed three rockets
  2. In 1988, the 1st IRS satellite was launched and the program produced more advanced satellites, including RISAT-1 (Radar Imaging Satellite-1), launched in 2012, and the SARAL satellite, launched in 2013, a joint Indo-French mission to measure ocean wave height .
  3. ISRO launched the 1st INSAT in 1988, the project expanded to provide geosynchronous satellites called GSAT.
  4. 18 July 1980 Rohini, the first satellite to be launched into space by an Indian launch vehicle.
  5. 19 April 1975 Soviet Union launched the first satellite ISRO Aryabhata1) PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) – To place a satellite in polar orbits. 2) GSLV (Geostationary Space Launch Vehicle) – To launch satellites into geostationary orbit. 3) LVM or GSLV Mark III – This is the heavy lift version of the GSLV.
  6. Launched rockets such as Chandrayaan-1, 2008, Chandrayaan-2, 2019 and Mars Orbiter Mission, 2013.
  7. ISRO plans to launch astronauts into space by 2021.
