Established in 1969, ISRO has been a source of pride for India. It has not only bagged achievement which others countries are yet to, it has also put India on the world map of space missions.

Today, let's have a look at those moments

PSLV-C40

ISRO achieved a major milestone by launching its 100th satellite Cartosat-2 along with 30 others in a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle last Friday.

Communication Satellites

Within a span of 2 months, ISRO launched 3 communication satellites in 2017. At present, there are a total of 17 communication satellites in space.

1 Mission, 104 Satellites

Breaking the record of Russia, ISRO last year in February launched 104 satellites in a single mission. They broke the record of 27 satellites held by Russia.

Humans in Space

The successful launch of GSLV MkIII-D1 marked the launch of the heaviest launch vehicle till date by ISRO. It had the capacity to carry up to three astronauts to space. Thanks to this, India can become one of the few nations that can take humans to space.

Own Satellite Navigation System

ISRO launched 'NavIC', India's navigation system, that is supposed to be more accurate than GPS. This makes India one of the five countries to have its own navigation system in place.

Mangalyaan

India became the first country to reach Mars in first attempt. India is one of the only four countries to have reached Mars. MOM or Mangalyaan was the least expensive one in the world.

Chandrayaan

ISRO's moon mission put it in the club of elite nations. It was in October 2008 that it made its first mission to the moon and was one of the only six space organisations to have attempted this.
