Re: The Full Form of ISRO

The full form of ISRO is Indian Space Research Organization.

India chose to go to space when Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was set up by the Government of India in 1962. With the visionary Dr Vikram Sarabhai at its steerage, INCOSPAR set up the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) in Thiruvananthapuram for upper air look into.

Beginning

The space investigate exercises were started in our nation amid the mid 1960's, when applications utilizing satellites were as a part of exploratory stages even in the United States. With the live transmission of Tokyo Olympic Games over the Pacific by the American Satellite 'Syncom-3' showing the force of correspondence satellites, Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, the establishing father of Indian space program, immediately perceived the advantages of space advancements for India.

Indian Space Research Organization, shaped in 1969, superseded the recent INCOSPAR. Vikram Sarabhai, having recognized the part and significance of space innovation in a Nation's improvement, gave ISRO the essential course to work as a specialist of advancement.

ISRO then left on its main goal to give the Nation space based administrations and to build up the advances to accomplish the same freely.
