What is a satellite?
A satellite is an arti cial body placed in orbit around the earth, they can be either
natural or arti cial serving different purposes like communication, navigation,
weather, earth observation, military etc The example for natural satellite is
Moon , which keeps orbiting the Earth. Jupiter has 63 moons while Mercury and
Venus have no moon.
In 1957, Russia became the rst country to launch an arti cial satellite
“SPUTNIK 1” rocketed by “SPUTNIK 8K71PS”.
ISRO
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is the space research and exploration
agency of the government of India (GOI) headquartered at Bengaluru (Karnataka)
aiming to develop and sharpen space research and technology for national
development. ISRO was formed in 1969 displacing the Indian national committee for
space research (INCOSPAR) established in 1962 with the combined efforts of rst
prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and his close aide scientist Vikram Sarabhai
,regarded widely as the Father of the Indian space programme.

Dr. APJ ABDUL KALAM (Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam ) is known as the
missile man of India for his work on the development of ballistic missile and
launch vehicle technology.
ISRO comes under the authority of the department of space of GOI and the PM,
managing agencies and institutes.
It has its own commercial wing named “ANTRIX” a marketing arm, its job is to
promote products, services and tech development.
It was Dr.Vikram Sarabhai’s continuous efforts which persuaded the Indian
government to concentrate on space research work and make a place in the
elite club of leading space agencies.
India launched its rst satellite ”ARYABHATA” in 1975 with the help of
“KAPUSTIN YAR“ Russian rocket launch site.
In 1970s, the project SLV (satellite launch vehicle) headed by Dr.APJ Abdul
Kalam with ISRO to develop the technology for launching satellites was in the
initial stage and made its rst launch in the year 1979 carrying “ROHINI” named
satellite to the orbit. The launch vehicle throws the rocket carrying the satellite
into different orbits.
Subsequently, it has developed PSLV (Polar satellite launch vehicle) and GSLV (
Geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle ).
The PSLV took its rst ight in 1993 and is breaking records since then, with its
latest successful ight on 15 February 2017,carved its name in the history by
launching 104 satellites in polar orbit at one go in just a single rocket “PSLV
C37” from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC),surpassing Russian record of
37 satellites in 2014.
It carried 3 Indian satellites 1)CARTOSAT-2 series, India’s weather observation
satellite2)INS-1A and INS-1B (Indian national satellite ) and other nations
satellites including 96 from US alone.
