ISRO TV
ISRO TV: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is India's national space agency, established in 1969 to develop an independent space program. Headquartered in Bengaluru, it operates under the Department of Space (DoS), overseen by the Prime Minister of India. ISRO's primary objective is to harness space technology for national development and conduct space exploration. Key milestones include the launch of the first Indian satellite, Aryabhata, by the Soviet Union in 1975, and the development of launch vehicles like the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). ISRO has successfully conducted missions such as Chandrayaan-1 (2008) and Chandrayaan-2 (2019), the Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan) (2013), and Chandrayaan-3 (2023), which achieved a soft landing near the Moon's South Pole. ISRO is managed by a chairman who also serves as the secretary of the DoS. The agency comprises various centers focusing on different aspects of space technology, such as the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC), Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), and Space Applications Centre (SAC). ISRO's initiatives have significantly contributed to India's socio-economic development, with low-cost missions showcasing India's capabilities in space technology.
