Explanation:
Indian Space Research Organization, which is widely
known as ISRO, is the agency which implements the country’s
space programme on behalf of India’s Department of Space.
ISRO came into existence in 1969, the same year when humans
set foot on the moon for the first time.
Various centres of ISRO are now spread all over India.
They include Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) situated
in Thiruvananthapuram, which designs huge rockets capable
of launching large satellites. In the same city is the Liquid
Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) that develops liquid rocket
engines and the more efficient and highly complex cryogenic
rocket engines.
Bangalore can be called as the space city of India. It has
got many space-related facilities including the ISRO Satellite
Centre (ISAC), which builds Indian satellites. The famous
Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft that conclusively discovered water
on the moon was built here. Moreover, the ISRO headquarters
and the Department of Space, which steer the Indian space
programme, are in Bangalore. ISRO’s Space Applications Centre
at Ahmedabad develops payloads for satellites.
National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) is another
important centre of ISRO. It is situated in Hyderabad and
performs the important task of receiving the pictures sent by
India’s remote sensing satellites in the form of radio waves.
The island of Sriharikota in the Bay of Bengal has ISRO’s
Satish Dhawan Space Centre and it is the space port of India.
Sriharikota lies about 80 km to the North of Chennai and lies
in the Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh. This is the place
from where 38 Indian built rockets have lifted off (as on April
2013) and have travelled towards space. It also has facilities to
assemble huge satellite launch vehicles as well as launch and
track them.
Answer:
India has sufficient space capability as compared to China, to support its defence forces especially in the field of communication and sufficient capability for surveillance, the two major and most important applications of space systems. Colonel Deepak Sharma was commissioned in Corps of Signals in 1984.
