 What is ISRO???
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is the space
agency of the government of INDIA.

Its vision is to "harness space technology for national

development", while pursuing space science research and
planetary exploration.

ISRO launched many space satellites since it's formation .

Now ISRO is not only an official representative of Indian space
program , it becomes a leader of global satellite market with
much reliability .

Satellite programmes
India's first satellite, the Aryabhata, was launched
by the Soviet Union on 19 April 1975 from Kapustin
Yar using a Cosmos-3M launch vehicle.

INSAT (Indian National Satellite System) is a series

of multipurpose geostationary satellites launched
by ISRO to satisfy the telecommunications,
broadcasting, meteorology and search-and-rescue
needs of India.
 Indian Remote Sensing satellites (IRS) are a series of
earth observation satellites provides remote sensing
services to the country. The Indian Remote Sensing
Satellite system is the largest constellation of remote
sensing satellites for civilian use in operation today in
the world.
GAGAN satellite navigation system is an indigenous
Satellite-Based Regional GPS Augmentation System as
part of the Satellite-Based Communications, Navigation
and Surveillance (CNS)/Air Traffic Management (ATM)
plan for civil aviation.
IRNSS satellite navigation system is an
independent regional navigation satellite
system is designed to provide accurate
position information service to users in India
as well as the region extending up to 1500 km
from its boundary.
In its thirty ninth flight (PSLV-C37), ISRO's
Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle successfully
launched the 714 kg Cartosat-2 Series Satellite
along with 103 co-passenger satellites today
morning (February 15, 2017) from Satish
Dhawan Space Centre SHAR, Sriharikota.
 Chandrayaan-1 was India's first mission to the
moon. ISRO launched the spacecraft using a
modified version of the PSLV on 22 October
2008 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre,
Sriharikota. The vehicle was successfully
inserted into lunar orbit on 8 November 2008.
Chandrayaan-1 became the first lunar mission
to discover existence of water on the Moon.
 Mangalayaan

The Mars Orbiter Mission or Mangalayaan,

was launched into Earth orbit on 5 November
2013 by ISRO and has entered Mars orbit on
24 September 2014.
India is the first country to enter Mars orbit in
first attempt.
It was completed at a record cost of $74
million.
 Future projects
The ULV or Unified Launch Vehicle is a launch
vehicle in development that will enable the
replacement of the PSLV, GSLV Mk I/II and GSLV
Mk III with a single family of launchers.
Chandrayaan-2 will be India's mission to the
Moon which will include an orbiter and lander-
rover module. Chandrayaan-2 will be launched
(by GSLV-MkII) around 20162017 .
Aditya-1 (400kg) is the First Indian space based
Solar Coronagraph to study solar Corona in visible
and near IR bands.
