As the national space agency of India, ISRO’s purpose is the pursuit of all space-based applications such as research, reconnaissance, and communications. It undertakes the design and development of space rockets and satellites, and undertakes explores upper atmosphere and deep space exploration missions. ISRO has also incubated technologies in India’s private space sector, boosting its growth.

On the topic of the importance of a space programmers to India as a developing nation, Vikram Sarabhai as INSCOPAR chair said in 1969:

To us, there is no ambiguity of purpose. We do not have the fantasy of competing with the economically advanced nations in the exploration of the Moon or the planets or manned space-flight. But we are convinced that if we are to play a meaningful role nationally, and in the community of nations, we must be second to none in the application of advanced technologies to the real problems of man and society, which we find in our country. And we should note that the application of sophisticated technologies and methods of analysis to our problems is not to be confused with embarking on grandiose schemes, whose primary impact is for show rather than for progress measured in hard economic and social terms.

The Presidents of india and chairman of DR.APJ ABDUL KLAM said.
Very many individuals with myopic vision questioned the relevance of space activities in a newly independent nation which was finding it difficult to feed its population. But neither Prime Minister Nehru nor Prof. Sarabhai had any ambiguity of purpose. Their vision was very clear: if Indians were to play a meaningful role in the community of nations, they must be second to none in the application of advanced technologies to their real-life problems. They had no intention of using it merely as a means of displaying our might.

India’s economic progress has made its space programmers more visible and active as the country aims for greater in space technology. In 2008, India launched as many as 11 satellites, including nine from other countries, and went on to become the first nation to launch 10 satellites on one rocket .ISRO has put into operation two major satellite systems: (INSAT) for communication services, and the (IRS) satellites for management of natural resources.

The Indian Space Research Organization ISRO is the national space agency  of India. It operates as the primary research and development arm of the department of space  (DOS), which is directly overseen by the prime minister of india while the chai man of isro also acts as the executive of DOS. ISRO is primarily responsible for performing tasks related to space-based operations, international space cooperation and the development of related technology .ISRO is one of the six government space agencies in the world that possesses full launch capabilities, can deploy cryogenic engines, can launch  extraterrestrial mission and operate a large fleet of ISRO is one of the four government space agencies to have soft leading capabilities

 on the suggestions of vikrm sara bhai in 1962 recognizing the need for space research. INCOSPAR grew and became ISRO in 1969,  (DAE).In 1972, the government of India set up a Space Commission and the DOS, bringing ISRO under it. The establishment of ISRO thus institutional  space research activities in India. It has since been managed by DOS, which also governs various other institutions in India in the domain of astronomy and space technology.

ISRO built India’s first satellite, Aryabhata, which was launched by the suite space agency  in 1975. In 1980, ISRO launched satellite  onboard SLV-3 making India the 7 country to be capable of undertaking orbital launches. SLV-3 was followed by ASLV which was subsequently succeeded by the development of many rocket engines, satellite systems and networks enabling the agency to launch hundreds of domestic and foreign satellites and various deep space missions for space exploration.

ISRO has the world’s largest constellation of remote-sensing satellites and operates the ganga and (NavIC) systems. It has sent 3 mission to the Moon and .

ISRO’s programmers have played a significant role in the socio-economic development of India and have supported both civilian and military domains in various aspects including disaster management, telemedicine and navigation and reconnaissance missions.  also have founded many crucial innovations for India’s engineering and medical industry Modern space research in India can be traced to the 1920s, when scientist  mitra conducted a series of experiments sounding the  through ground-based radio in Kolkata. Later, Indian scientists like  and  contributed to scientific principles applicable in space sciences. After 1945, important developments were made in coordinated space research in Indiaby two scientists: Vikram Sarabhai.
