ISRO

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is the new formation of  INCOSPAR formed by india's great physicist Dr. Vikram Sarabhai

later he named as the father of the ISRO for there important  role in space technology 

In the 1962 INCOSPAR for The Indian National Committee for Space Research which was establish by India's first PM Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru under the Dr. Vikram sarabhai to formulate The Indian space Programs. At the time, the committee was part of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, led by M. G. K Menon. INCOSPAR set up the Thumb Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) in thiruvananthapuram for uppor atmospheric research with the visionary of Dr. Vikram Sarabhai at its helm. Indian Space Research organisation , formed in 1969 superseded the esterwhile INCOSPAR .
in 1972 the government of India had set up a space Commission and Department of Space (DOS). Now The activity of ISRO is managed by the DOS, which reports to the Prime Minister of India .

Aryabhatta (India's first artificial satellite
developed by ISRO)


in 1980 isro developed it's own satellite launching vehicle which named as SLV-3
SLV-3 was successfully launched on July 18, 1980 from Sriharikota Range (SHAR), when Rohini satellite, RS-1, was placed in orbit, thereby making India the sixth member of an exclusive club of space-faring nations
now a days ISRO is counted as the best space agency like NASA
ISRO sent a lunar orbiter, Chandrayaan-1, on 22 October 2008, which discovered lunar water in the form of ice, and the Mars Orbiter Mission, on 5 November 2013, which entered Mars orbit on 24 September 2014, making India the first nation to succeed on its maiden attempt to Mars, as well as the first space agency in Asia to reach Mars orbit On 18 June 2016, ISRO launched twenty satellites in a single vehicle, and on 15 February 2017, ISRO launched one hundred and four satellites in a single rocket (PSLV-C37), a world record.

 ISRO launched its heaviest rocket, Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-Mark III (GSLV-Mk III), on 5 June 2017 and placed a communications satellite GSAT-19 in orbit. With this launch, ISRO became capable of launching 4-ton heavy satellites into GTO. On 22 July 2019, ISRO launched its second lunar mission Chandrayaan-2 to study the lunar geology and the distribution of lunar water.
