ISRO- INDIAN SPACE RESEARCH
ORGANISATION
The Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was set-
up by our first Prime Minister, Shri. Jawaharlal Nehru in the year 1962.
Later this INCOSPAR, was setup at Ahmedabad in the year 1969 as V.
Sarabhai as its director. This INCOSPAR is now known as ISRO.
MAJOR OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS HAVE
BEEN ESTABILISHED
1. INSAT- INDIAN NATIONAL SATELLITE SYSTEM
INSAT is a series of multipurpose geostationary satellites
launched by ISRO, used for telecommunication, broadcasting
and meteorological services.
2. IRS- INDIAN REMOTE SENSING SYSTEM
IRS is a series of multipurpose geostationary satellites launched
by ISRO, used for monitoring and management of natural
resources and disaster management.
SATELLITE LAUNCHING VEHICLES
1. SLV( SATELLITE LAUNCH VEHICLE)
It is a 4-staged solid light propellant launcher which can carry a payload of 40
kgs.
2. ASLV( AUGUMENTED SATELLITE LAUNCH VEHICLE)

FUTURE SPACE MISSION
GAGANYAAN
Gaganyaan is a mission by the Indian Space
Research Organization (ISRO) to send a three-
member crew to space for a period of five to
seven days by 2022. The space mission was first
announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in
2018. The Gaganyaan mission could propel
India to the centre of space exploration. INDIA’S FIRST MANNED
MISSION TO SPACE
FUTURE SPACE MISSION
ADITYA L-1
Aditya-L1 Mission is India’s first solar mission
planned by the Indian Space Research
Organization (ISRO).The objective of Aditya L1
mission is to study Sun’s Corona, Chromosphere
and Photosphere. In addition, it will study the
particle flux emanating from Sun, and the
variation of magnetic field strength.
FUTURE SPACE MISSION
NISAR
NISAR is the world’s most expensive Earth-imaging
satellite. Being a combined US-India satellite, the
mission becomes even more important as it is
scheduled to launched from India.
The main objective of this research is to make global
measurements of the causes and consequences of land
surface changes. NISAR will launch in the year 2023.
FUTURE SPACE MISSION
SHUKRAYAAN-1
Shukrayaan-1 is a proposed orbiter to Venus
by the Indian Space Research Organization
(ISRO) to study the surface and atmosphere
of Venus. SHUKRAYAAN -1 will launch in
the year 2024.
