India’s Space Programme Starting with a modest beginning in 1963 primarily to carry out sounding rocket experiments in space science‚ the Indian Space Research Organization SRO) has focused its attention on using space technology for carrying out major identified national tasks on a totally self-reliant basis. Self-reliance‚ accomplished with national applications of space technology is the main objectives of the Indian Space programme. Main thrust areas are: Satellite communications for various

with the launch of Chandrayan for its moon mission. India started its space programme with the launch of first space satellite ‘Aryabhatta’ on April 19‚ 1975. This space satellite was named after the great Indian astronomer and mathematician of the 5th century‚ Aryabhatta. It was launched from a soviet cosmodrome with the help of a Soviet rocket. It marked India’s giant leap and made her the eleventh country to join the space club. The second satellite ‘Bhaskara’ was launched on June 7‚ 1979. It

India’s Steps into Space Exploration The more you resist the more it persist is the story of Indian space program. When US reluctantly refused to transfer the space technology and also coaxed our friendly nations not to transfer it into Indian hands‚ Indian elite band of scientists took charge and determinedly persuaded the path breaking success. During the nascent stage of Indian space program no one would have thought that the child would transform into a monster‚ breaking all the time and economy

Topic: India’s Space Programme Origin and Development Space activities in India started in the sixties with the establishment of Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS). The efforts were consolidating with formation of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in 1969. The space programme got further fillip in June 1972‚ when the Government of India constituted the Space Commission and established the Department of Space (DOS). ISRO was brought under newly formed DOS in September 1972

The bus is the part of the satellite that carries the payload and all its equipment into space. It is the physical platform that holds all the satellite’s parts together and that provides electrical power‚ navigation‚ control and propulsion to the spacecraft. The bus also contains equipment that allows the satellite to communicate with Earth‚ a kind of ’remote control’.

Orbit Chandrayaan 1 will be launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota‚ on a PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) rocket. After a five-and-a-half-day 240 by 36‚000 kilometer geotransfer orbit‚ it will end up in a 1‚000-kilometer (600-mile) orbit around the Moon. From there‚ it will drop to a checkout
