mission, India's leading space agency, the ISRO ranks at no. 5 in
the world.
3. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO, /ˈ) (Hindi;
IAST: bhārtīya antrikṣ anusandhān saṅgṭhan) is the space agency
of the Government of India
3. Vision And Mission
1. Vision :Harness space technology for national development, while
pursuing space science research and planetary exploration.
2. Mission :Design and development of launch vehicles and related
technologies for providing access to space.
3. Design and development of satellites and related technologies for
earth observation, communication, navigation, meteorology and

4. About ISRO
The Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was
established in the tenure of Jawaharlal Nehru under the Department of
Atomic Energy (DAE) in 1962, with the urging of scientist Vikram
Sarabhai recognizing the need in space research. INCOSPAR grew
and became ISRO in 1969 also under the DAE. In 1972, Government
of India setup a Space Commission and the Department of Space
(DOS)The establishment of ISRO thus institutionalized space research
activities in India. It is managed by the DOS, which reports to the
prime minister of India.
