 Indian Space Research Organisation  ISRO

Indian Space Research Organisation  ISRO or Bhāratīya Antrikṣ Anusandhān Saṅgaṭhan

ISRO is a  national space agency of India, headquartered in Bengaluru. It operates under the Department of Space (DOS) which is directly overseen by the Prime Minister of India

 

The Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was founded in 1962 under Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) with Vikram Sarabhai as its chairperson which in 1969 became ISRO

 

 

 

Contribution of Homi J. Bhabha before ISRO

He was an Indian nuclear physicist, founding director, and professor of physics at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR).Colloquially known as "Father of the Indian nuclear programme", Bhabha was also the founding director of the Atomic Energy Establishment, Trombay (AEET) which is now named the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in his honour. TIFR and AEET were the cornerstone of Indian development of nuclear weapons which Bhabha also supervised as director.

Bhabha was awarded the Adams Prize (1942) and Padma Bhushan (1954). He was also nominated for the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1951 and 1953–1956.

 Story of an ISRO


The Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was established by Jawaharlal Nehru under the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) in 1962, on the urging of scientist Vikram Sarabhai recognising the need in space research. INCOSPAR grew and became ISRO in 1969, within DAE

 

n 1972, government of India had set up a space commission and DOS and brought ISRO under DOS


ISRO built India's first satellite, Aryabhata, which was launched by the Soviet Union on 19 April 1975

In 1980, ISRO launched satellite RS-1 onboard its own SLV-3 making India the sixth country to be capable of undertaking orbital launches. SLV-3 was followed by ASLV which was subsequently succeeded by development of many medium-lift launch vehicles, rocket engines, satellite systems and networks enabling agency to launch hundreds of domestic and foreign satellites and various deep space missions for space exploration.

Scientist in Ancient India

Image
  Scientist  in Ancient India     In Ancient Time India had been vishwa guru . There were so many rishis,  munis  born in  the land of India.   they are always  in the search of knowledge  like a today's Scientist , so we can call it as Ancient Indian Scientist . There are so many Ancient Scientist and today we are talking about -:     Science and Mathematics were highly developed during the ancient period in India.  Ancient Indians contributed immensely to the knowledge in Mathematics as well as various branches of Science.   In this section, we will read about the developments in Mathematics and the scholars who contributed to it. You will be surprised to know that many theories of modern day mathematics were actually known to ancient Indians.  However, since ancient Indian mathematicians were not as good in documentation and dissemination as their counterparts in the modern western world, their ...

How periodic table get its Sequence

 How periodic table get its Sequence   periodic table, in full periodic table of the elements, in chemistry, the organized array of all the chemical elements in order of increasing atomic number—i.e., the total number of protons in the atomic nucleus. When the chemical elements are thus arranged, there is a recurring pattern called the “periodic law” in their properties, in which elements in the same column (group) have similar properties. The initial discovery, which was made by Dmitry I. Mendeleyev in the mid-19th century, has been of inestimable value in the development of chemistry.  3D  Periodic Table ....................................................................................................  Early history In 1817, German physicist Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner began to formulate one of the earliest attempts to classify the elements.In 1829, he found that he could form some of the elements into groups of three, with the members of each group havi...

NASA Captured The 'Sound' From A Black Hole, And It's Super Eerie

Image
    NASA Captured The 'Sound' From A Black Hole, And It's Super Eerie NASA has released a haunting audio clip of sound waves rippling out of a supermassive black hole, located 250 million light-years away.   The black hole is at the center of the Perseus cluster of galaxies, and the acoustic waves coming from it have been transposed up 57 and 58 octaves so they're audible to human hearing. The result (below), released by NASA in May, is a sort of unearthly (obviously) howling that, if we're honest, sounds not only spooky, but a little bit angry.  It's the first time these sound waves have been extracted and made audible. So what's going on here? We might not be able to hear sound in space, but that doesn't mean there isn't any. In 2003, astronomers detected something truly astonishing: acoustic waves propagating through the copious amounts of gas surrounding the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Perseus galaxy cluster, which is now renowne...
