India's Journey Into Space

With the development in India, space exploration has its own significance. Lets go deep down into the origin and development of it. At the beginning of the 1960s, India started its space program. Dr. Vikram Sarabhai was a key person to kick-start India’s space program. In 1962 Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) came into being to supervise national space activities. Later on in 1969 INCOSPAR transfigured/transformed itself into ISRO, that marked a milestone in India’s journey in to the space. Early Space Missions The first time India entered into space was in 1963 when the Nike Apache sounding rocket was launched, in collaboration with NASA. It marked a large step, pushing India forward into the area of space exploration.  In 1975 another milestone was achieved by India when Aryabhata was launched, its first satellite. Aryabhata displayed India's increasing technological achievements and led the country to the circle of nations with manned spacecraft systems. D...
