The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been at the forefront of this remarkable journey, achieving numerous milestones that have not only bolstered India&#8217;s reputation as a space-faring nation but have also played a pivotal role in its socio-economic development. One of the noteworthy accomplishments is India&#8217;s successful launch of the Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan) in 2013, making it the first Asian nation to reach Martian orbit and the first in the world to do so in its maiden attempt. Additionally, the Chandrayaan missions have significantly contributed to lunar exploration, unveiling new facets of the Moon&#8217;s surface. These achievements underscore India&#8217;s technical prowess and determination to explore the uncharted territories of space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow

was being criticized for spending money on such expensive technologies when its priority should be fighting rampant poverty that prevails. . In 1962, Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was established as a precursor to ISRO. Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, having identified the role and importance of space technology in a Nation&#8217;s development, provided ISRO the necessary direction to function as an agent of development. In 1972 the Government of India constituted a space commission and the Department of Space was established. Both the institutions regulate and give directions to India\u2019s space programme.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc\/upsc-essay?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Banner&amp;utm_campaign=Essay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42412 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/10.png 1280w, https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/10-1170x274.png 1170w, https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/10-585x137.png 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1280px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1280\/300;\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc\/upsc-essay?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=Essay\">UPSC Essay Course<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indias_achievements_in_the_field_of_Space_S_T\"><\/span><strong>India\u2019s achievements in the field of Space S&amp;T:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Mars Orbiter Mission: <\/strong>India\u2019s first inter planetary mission, the Mars Orbiter Spacecraft was successfully launched onboard PSLV-C25.
