Talk on Transformation of Indian Space Sector

IIC New Delhi | Seminar Rooms I to III, Kamaladevi Complex on 27 July 2022, at 18:30

Speaker: Shri S. Somanath, Secretary, Department of Space and Chairman, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)

Chair: Dr. Shailesh Nayak, Life Trustee, IIC

The Indian space programme started 60 years back is based on the concept of fulfilling societal needs. India achieved self-sufficiency in building upstream technologies with indigenised effort. Now it is the time for technology adoption for various sectors for increasing the country's economy in multiple folds. Space technology shall be one of the best enablers for the country, considering vast agriculture, water resources, urbanisation and transport. After unlocking the space sector, ISRO acts as a facilitator to many non-governmental enterprises in scaling up the opportunities and contributing to the economy and technological development of the country. ISRO also concentrates more on R&D, space science missions and capacity building.

Exhibition on Indian Space Programme: Growing in Leaps and Bounds

Venue Art Gallery, Kamaladevi Complex, IIC

The exhibition is on view from 23 to 29 July 2022, 11:00 to 19:00 daily

Since its inception in 1961 with Dr. Vikram Sarabhai as Chairman of the Indian National Committee on Space Research, the Indian space programme has grown in leaps and bounds. On 21st November 1963, the first Nike-Apache rocket was successfully launched and this marked the beginning of India's journey into space. The exhibition highlights this journey of over six decades starting from the nascent years under Dr. Sarabhai; to the development of indigenous capabilities for designing and building launch vehicles and satellites; research in Cryogenic; radar imaging; cartography; oceanography and weather-related areas; and to the continuing journey that has transformed the country into a technology driven one

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) presents a display of text and photographic panels that tell the story of India's space programme along with scale models of rockets, launch vehicles and satellite models.
