 INTRODUCTION
Space activities in the country started during early 1960s with the scientific investigation of
upper atmosphere and ionosphere over the magnetic equator that passes over Thumba near
Thiruvananthapuram using small sounding rockets Realising the immense potential of space
technology for national development, Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, the visionary leader envisioned
that this powerful technology could play a meaningful role in national development and
solving the problems of common man.

Thus, Indian Space programme born in the church beginning, space activities in the country,
concentrated on achieving self reliance and developing capability to build and launch
communication satellites for television broadcast, telecommunications and meteorological
applications; remote sensing satellites for management of natural resources.

The objective of ISRO is to develop space technology and its application to various national
tasks. ISRO has established two major space systems, INSAT for communication, television
broadcasting and meteorological services, and Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS) system
for resources monitoring and management. ISRO has developed two satellite launch vehicles,
PSLV and GSLV, to place INSAT and IRS satellites in the required orbits.

Accordingly, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully operationalised

two major satellite systems namely Indian National Satellites (INSAT) for communication
services and Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites for management of natural resources;
also, Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) for launching IRS type of satellites and
Geostationary Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) for launching INSAT type of satellites.

The Space Commission formulates the policies and oversees the implementation of the Indian
space programme to promote the development and application of space science and
technology for the socio-economic benefit of the country. DOS implements these
programmes through, mainly Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Physical Research
Laboratory (PRL), National Atmospheric Research Laboratory (NARL), North Eastern-Space
Applications Centre (NE-SAC) and Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL). The Antrix
Corporation, established in 1992 as a government owned company, markets the space
products and services.

 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Data Source
The data used will be mainly primary in nature.

Data Methodology
Various appropriate statistical tools will be used to analyze the primary data collected.
The primary data collected will be represented using graphs and pie charts.

CONCLUSION (TENTATIVE)
Indian space programme during the year made significant progress in its quest towards mastering
critical technologies and witnessed significant milestones in space exploration. Necessary
infrastructure for casting large boosters, liquid propellant engines, heavy cryogenic boosters for
advanced heavier launchers and missions in the area of remote sensing, communications and
navigational satellites as well as space science have been established.

The expansion of space applications programmes like tele-education and disaster management
support and outreach through Direct-To-Home television, reiterates the increasing role played by
the Indian space systems in providing direct benefits to the society. Thus, Indian Space Programme
continues to pursue successful goals on all fronts in meeting its objective.
