1960-1970
• Dr. VikramSarabhai was the founding father of the Indian space program,
and is considered a scientific visionary by many, as well as a national hero.
• India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal
Nehru, who saw scientific development as
an essential part of India’s future, placed
space research under the jurisdiction of
the Department of Atomic Energy in 1961

1970-1980
• In the1960s Sarabhai had taken part in an early study with NASA regarding the feasibility of
using satellites for applications as wide as direct television broadcasting, and this study had
found that it was the most economical way of transmitting such broadcasts.
• Having recognized the benefits that the satellites could bring to India from the very start,
Sarabhai and the ISRO set about designing and creating an independent launch vehicle,
capable of launching into orbit, and providing the valuable experience needed for the
construction of larger launch vehicles in future.
• Recognizing the advanced capability India had in building solid motors with the Rohini
series, and that other nations had favoured solid rockets for similar projects, the ISRO set
about building the technology and infrastructure for the Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV).
Inspired by the American Scout rocket, the vehicle would be a four-stage all-solid vehicle.
1980-1990
• Following thesuccess of the SLV, ISRO was keen to
begin construction of a satellite launch vehicle that
would be able to put truly useful satellites into
polar orbits. Design of the Polar Satellite Launch
Vehicle (PSLV) was soon underway.
• This vehicle would be designed as India’s
workhorse launch system, taking advantage of
both old technology with large reliable solid-
stages, and new liquid engines.

CHANDRAYAN 1
India's firstmission to Moon, was launched
successfully on October 22, 2008 from SDSC SHAR,
Sriharikota.
The spacecraft was orbiting around the Moon
at a height of 100 km from the lunar surface
The mission's primary objective was to map the Moon's
surface in detail and search for water molecules in the lunar
soil, along with other elements and minerals.

MANGALAYAN
Mangalyaan, also knownas the Mars Orbiter
Mission (MOM), is India's first interplanetary
mission launched by the Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO).
It is known for its low cost, around $74
million (INR 450 crores), making it one of th
most cost-effective missions to Mars.
To study the surface features,
morphology, and atmosphere
of Mars
