The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is the
space agency of the Government of India headquartered
in the city of Bangalore. Its vision is to control space
technology for national development while pursuing
space science research and planetary exploration. Formed
in 1969, ISRO superseded Indian National Committee for
Space Research (INCOSPAR) established in 1962 by the
efforts of independent India's first Prime Minister,
Jawaharlal Nehru, and his close aide and scientist Vikram
Sarabhai. The establishment of ISRO thus institutionalized
space activities in India. It is managed by the Department
of Space, which reports to the Prime Minister of India.
ISRO built India's first satellite, Aryabhata, which was
launched by the Soviet Union on 19 April 1975. It was
named after the Mathematician Aryabhata. In 1980,
Rohini became the first satellite to be placed in orbit by an
Indian-made launch vehicle, SLV-3. ISRO subsequently
developed two other rockets: the Polar Satellite Launch
Vehicle (PSLV) for launching satellites into polar orbits and
the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) for
placing satellites into geostationary orbits. These rockets
have launched numerous communications satellites and
earth observation satellites.
