Welcome ! Here you will get the information about both the leading apace agencies, ISRO and NASA.Hope you will enjoy it

1. THE DREAM OF SPACE PROGRAMS
There was a constant confusion among
people about the comparison between the
well known Space centres, ISRO and NASA.
Let’s clear this doubt in this presentation.

2. Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Indian
space agency, founded in 15th August 1969 to develop
an independent Indian space program. ISRO was
previously the Indian National Committee for Space
Research (INCOSPAR), set up by the Government of
India in 1962, as envisioned by Dr. Vikram Sarabhai.

3. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an
independent agency of the US federal government responsible
for the civil space program, aeronautics research, and space
research. It was established in 1958, succeeding the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), to give the U.S.
space development effort a distinctly civilian orientation,
emphasizing peaceful applications in space science. NASA has
since led most American space exploration, including Project
Mercury, Project Gemini, etc.

4. SPECIAL FACTS
ISRO
To this date, India remains the only country to
reach mars on its first attempt despite having a
tight budget of INR 450 crore which was the
lowest to date.
Interestingly, parts of the first rocket were carried
on bicycles to a church in
Thiruvananthapuram in 1963. This church was
later renamed Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre.
Satellite Launch Vehicle-3 (SLV-3), which was
India’s Ist experimental SLV weighing 17- ton was
sent into orbit by ISRO, this project was
spearheaded by APJ Abdul Kalam, who later
became President of India.
NASA
President Woodrow Wilson started the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The
main function is to supervise and to direct
scientific
research and to study problems related to flight.
By the end of 1960s, President John F. Kennedy
gave NASA a goal of sending man to the moon.
On 20 July, 1969, the first man walked on the
moon as a part of the Apollo 11 mission. During all
Apollo missions around twelve men walked on the
moon.
Currently, NASA has astronauts living and working
on the International Space Station.

5. ISRO
GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS
NASA
1) Aryabhatta satellite: ISRO and Indias first
indigenous satellite, named after the Indian
astronomer was successfully deployed from
Kapustin Yar, a Russian launch facility.
2) SLV- 3: The SLV- 3 was ISROs first attempt at
developing a satellite launch vehicle. The first
experimental flight in August 1979 successfully
placed the Rohini Satellite in near-Earth orbit.
The SLV project was helmed by Dr A.P.J Abdul
Kalam and he went on to develop the PSLV
projects which are even used till date.
3) Chandrayaan- 1: The scientists at ISRO launched
Indias first lunar probe dubbed Chandrayaan-1
successfully. Although the mission lasted for just
312 days as in August 2009, ISRO lost all contact
with the probe, the mission is deemed successful
for most. The Chandrayaan- 1 discovered water
on the lunar surface which is considered to be its
greatest achievement.
1)The ground-breaking F-8 digital-fly-by-wire
programme paved the way for electronic flying in a
variety of other aircraft, including the Space Shuttle
and high-performance jets that would have been
impossible to handle otherwise.
2) The very successful X-15 programme, which
involved a rocket-powered plane that went above
the atmosphere and then drifted back to Earth
unpowered, provided Shuttle designers with
valuable information.
3) Our first astronauts were launched into space
thanks to the Mercury programme by NASA. The
mission's goal, which included six manned space
flights, was simple: orbit the planet, examine man's
ability to function in space, and successfully recover
both man and it gave them the idea on which they
can work on later.
4) One of the achievements NASA takes the
most pride in is the Hubble Telescope.

6. Thereby, we can say that both ISRO and
NASA are the primary agencies
for performing tasks related to space-
based applications, space exploration
and the development of related
technologies.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SPENDING
YOUR VALUABLE TIME WITH ME.
