 The Origins and Early Milestone of ISRO

Introduction 

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) stands as a beacon of India's scientific and technological advancements. This blog explores the origins and early milestones of ISRO, tracing its journey from humble beginning to becoming key player in the global space arena.

The Visionary Beginning:

The foundation of India's space program was laid by Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, who recognized the potential of space technology for national development. In 1962, The Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was established, which later evolved into ISRO in 1969.

Aryabhatta : India's First Satellite

On April 19, 1975, India launched its first satellite, 'Aryabhatta' named after the ancient Indian mathematician and astronomer. Although launched by a Soviet Rocket, Aryabhatta marked India's entry into space and demonstrated the country's ability to build and operate its own satellite.

Rohini And SLV- 3

In 1980, ISRO launched the Rohini satellite on the SLV-3, making India one of the few countries with Indigenous launch capabilities. This success was pivotal, laying the groundwork for future advancement in launch vehicle technology.

Conclusion 

The Early milestone of ISRO set the stage for a journey of innovation and discovery. From the visionary leadership of Dr. Vikram Sarabhai to the successful launch of Aryabhatta and Rohini, these foundational achievements paved the way for India's ambitious space endeavors.
