7. INDIA'S FIRST SATELLITE..
ARYABHATT
India launched it's first satellite Aryabhatt in 1975 from.
Kapustin Yar.
Named after the great Indian astronomer of the same
name.
Aryabhata was built to conduct X ray astronomy,
aeronomics, and solar physics.
Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM)
Mangalyaan
"Mars-craft" is a Mars orbiter launched into Earth orbit
on 5 November 2013 by ISRO.
It was successfully inserted into orbit of Mars on 24
September 2014, making India the first country in the
world to successfully send a spacecraft to Mars on its
very first attempt.
cheapest mars mission ever.
INDIA'S FIRST MISSION TO MOON
CHANDRAYAAN-1
launched on : October 22, 2008
from : the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota
The spacecraft orbited the Moon at 100 km
Objective : To map the Moon's surface, identify its
chemical and mineral composition, and search for water
ice.
The mission confirmed the presence of water molecules
on the Moon.
India's First satellite launch vehicle

8. Launched
Vehicles
By ISRO: ASLV, PSLV, GSLV and LVM 3.

9. Augmented Satellite
Launch Vehicle
(ASLV)
-First flight 24 March 1987
- Last flight 4 May 1994
- After being built on the experience gained
from SLV-3
- proved to be a low-cost
- a five-stage solid vehicle
- The payload capacity of the ASLV was approximately
150 kg (330 lb) to an orbit of 400 km (250 mi) with a 47-
degree inclination

10. Polar Satellite
Launch
Vehicle (PSLV)
-"The Workhorse of ISRO" due to its reliability and
versatility in launching satellites, including both Indian
and foreign customer satellites
- Developed to allow India to launch its Indian Remote
Sensing (IRS) satellites into Sun-synchronous orbits
- the first to be equipped with liquid stages
- It has launched numerous successful missions,
including Chandrayaan-1 (to the Moon) and the Mars
Orbiter Spacecraft (to Mars).
https://www.isro.gov.in/PSLV_CON.html

11. Geosynchronous
Satellite Launch
Vehicle (GSLV)
- To launch satellites into Geosynchronous Transfer
Orbits (GTO)
- Designed to carry heavier payloads compared to the
PSLV
- The GSLV can place approximately 5,000 kg (11,000
lb) into an easterly low Earth orbit (LEO) or 2,500 kg
(5,500 lb) into a GTO -- payload capacity.
https://www.isro.gov.in/GSLV_CON.html

12. The Launch Vehicle
Mark-3 ( LVM3)
- A three-stage medium-lift launch vehicle
- Primarily designed to launch
communication satellites into geostationary
orbit
- LVM3 has a higher payload capacity than
its predecessor, GSLV
- A three stage vehicle
- first orbital test launch of LVM3 on 5 June
2017 https://www.isro.gov.in/GSLVmk3_CON.html

14. CHANDRAYAAN MISSIONS
Chandrayaan-1 Chandrayaan-2 Chandrayaan-3
-launched in October 2008.
-operated until August 2009.

South Pole.

15. is India's first space-based solar observatory, launched by ISRO, to study the Sun from
a unique vantage point at Lagrange point 1 (L1), which is about 1.5 million kilometers
from Earth. L1 provides an uninterrupted view of the Sun, allowing for continuous
observation of solar activities.
Aditya L1
Gaganyaan
Gaganyaan is India's first human spaceflight mission by ISRO, aiming to send 2–3
astronauts into low Earth orbit for up to 3 days. It will use the HLVM3 rocket and is
expected to launch in 2025.

16. Societal
benefits
Agriculture Support:
Satellites help farmers by
giving information about soil,
crops, and rainfall. This
improves farming and food
production.
Education:
ISRO supports remote
education through satellites,
especially in rural areas, by
broadcasting educational
programs.
Weather Forecasting &
Disaster Alerts:
ISRO satellites track
cyclones, floods, and
storms. Early warnings
help save lives and reduce
damage.
Telemedicine:
In remote areas, doctors can
connect with specialists in
cities through satellite
communication, helping
people get better treatment.
Navigation (NavIC):
ISRO developed NavIC, India’s
own GPS system. It is used in
vehicles, smartphones, and
disaster rescue operations.
Communication Services:
ISRO’s satellites provide signals
for TV, mobile, and internet
across the country, even in
faraway villages.

17. Future
Plans
of
ISRO
Advanced Launch Vehicles:
Development of Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLVs) to
make space travel cheaper and more efficient.
More Interplanetary Missions:
ISRO is planning missions to explore other planets and
asteroids, continuing its journey in deep space.
Indian Space Station:
By 2035, ISRO wants to build its own space station,
where astronauts can live and do experiments in space.
Shukrayaan – Venus Mission:
ISRO plans to explore Venus, Earth’s sister planet, to
study its atmosphere and surface

18. Conclusion
-ISRO started small but has made huge achievements—like
missions to the Moon, Mars, and Sun.
-It helps India grow using satellites for communication, farming,
weather, and more.
-Known for low-cost, high-impact missions, ISRO is now respected
worldwide.
-With bold future plans, ISRO continues to inspire young minds and
push the boundaries of space exploration.
