<v Speaker 1>slumber under the night sky. ISRO pioneering India's path to

7
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:38.159
<v Speaker 1>the stars. The Indian Space Research Organization ISRO stands as

8
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 1>a beacon of innovation and progress in space exploration. Established

9
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:49.240
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen sixty nine, ISRO has grown from modest beginnings

10
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:52.799
<v Speaker 1>to become one of the leading space agencies in the world.

11
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:59.359
<v Speaker 1>Its journey is marked by groundbreaking achievements, including the successful

12
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:05.159
<v Speaker 1>deployment of satellites, pioneering interplanetary missions, and the development of

13
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 1>indigenous launch vehicles. This narrative delves into the history, milestones,

14
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>and future aspirations of ISRO, highlighting its contributions to science, technology,

15
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:25.079
<v Speaker 1>and humanity. The roots of ISRO can be traced back

16
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>to the Indian National Committee for Space Research in Cosper,

17
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:35.879
<v Speaker 1>which was founded in nineteen sixty two by doctor Vikrumsarabei

18
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:41.400
<v Speaker 1>often referred to as the father of the Indian space program.

19
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:48.879
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Sarabei recognized the potential of space technology in addressing

20
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>the socioeconomic challenges faced by India. Under his visionary leadership,

21
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>in Cosper launched the first sounding rocket from thumb As

22
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.159
<v Speaker 1>Equatorial Rocket Launching Station TURLS in Kerala in nineteen sixty three.

23
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.159
<v Speaker 1>This event marked India's entry into the realm of space research.

24
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>In nineteen sixty nine, ISSRO was formally established, with doctor

25
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Sarabai as its first chairman. The organization's primary objective was

26
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:32.520
<v Speaker 1>to harness space technology for national development and to advance

27
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:39.520
<v Speaker 1>India's capabilities in satellite communication, remote sensing and scientific exploration.

28
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:45.919
<v Speaker 1>The early years of ISSRO were characterized by collaboration with

29
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>international partners, including NASA and the Soviet Union, which provided

30
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 1>crucial technical support and resources. One of issro's early successes

31
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:04.879
<v Speaker 1>was the launch Ariyabatah, India's first satellite in nineteen seventy five,

32
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>named after the ancient Indian mathematician and astronomer, Ariyabatah, was

33
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 1>launched aboard a Soviet Cosmos three M rocket. The satellite's

34
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>primary mission was to conduct scientific experiments in X ray astronomy,

35
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:30.319
<v Speaker 1>solar physics and aeronomy. Although the mission faced technical challenges,

36
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:35.240
<v Speaker 1>it laid the foundation for future satellite development and demonstrated

37
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>India's growing expertise in space technology. The next major milestone

38
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>for ISSRO came in nineteen eighty with the successful launch

39
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 1>of Rohini RS one, the first satellite to be placed

40
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>into orbit by an Indian made launch vehicle, the Satellite

41
00:03:54.199 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Launch Vehicle three SLV three. The launch marked the significant

42
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>achievement in India's quest for self reliance and space technology.

43
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:15.879
<v Speaker 1>Under the leadership of doctor dot j Abdul Kalum, who

44
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:20.199
<v Speaker 1>later became the President of India, the SLV three program

45
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>demonstrated the viability of indigenous launch vehicle development and set

46
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:30.879
<v Speaker 1>the stage for more ambitious projects. Building on the success

47
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>of the SLV three, ISRO developed the Augmented Satellite Launch

48
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Vehicle ASLV and the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV. The

49
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>PSLV in particular, became a workhorse for ISRO, renowned for

50
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>its reliability and versatility. Since its first successful flight in

51
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:01.839
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety four, the PSLV has launched numerous satellites into

52
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:08.639
<v Speaker 1>various orbits, including the highly Elliptical Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit GTO,

53
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:14.639
<v Speaker 1>and the Low Earth Orbit LOO. The pslvi's ability to

54
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>launch multiple satellites in a single mission has made it

55
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.519
<v Speaker 1>a preferred choice for international customers, earning ISSRO a reputation

56
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:30.079
<v Speaker 1>as a reliable and cost effective launch service provider. One

57
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 1>of the most celebrated achievements of ISSRO is the Mars

58
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Orbiter mission Mangalion, which was launched in twenty thirteen. Mangalion

59
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:46.600
<v Speaker 1>was India's first interplanetary mission, and its successful insertion into

60
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Martian orbit on September twenty four, twenty fourteen, made India

61
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:57.319
<v Speaker 1>the first country to achieve this feat on its maiden attempt.

62
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:03.360
<v Speaker 1>The mission showcased ISRO's technological prowess and cost efficiency as

63
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>it was accomplished on a budget of just seventy four

64
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 1>million dollars, making it one of the most economical Mars

65
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:16.519
<v Speaker 1>missions to date. Mangalian has provided valuable data on Martian

66
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:24.160
<v Speaker 1>surface features, morphology, atmosphere, and mineralogy, contributing to global scientific

67
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:30.480
<v Speaker 1>knowledge about the Red planet. In addition to interplanetary exploration,

68
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:35.959
<v Speaker 1>ISSRO has made significant strides in satellite navigation with the

69
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 1>development of the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System IRNSS, also

70
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:50.199
<v Speaker 1>known as Navice Navigation with Indian Constellation. NAVIC provides accurate

71
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:55.240
<v Speaker 1>position information services to users in India and the surrounding region,

72
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.199
<v Speaker 1>covering an area extending up to one thousand, five hundred

73
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:05.879
<v Speaker 1>kilometers beyond the Indian mainland. The system comprises a constellation

74
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:10.959
<v Speaker 1>of seven satellites and ground stations, offering services similar to

75
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:16.199
<v Speaker 1>the Global Positioning System GPS, but tailored to regional needs.

76
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:24.199
<v Speaker 1>ISRO's advancements and satellite technology extend to remote sensing and

77
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 1>earth observation as well. The organization has developed a series

78
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:36.240
<v Speaker 1>of remote sensing satellites under the Indian Remote Sensing IRS program,

79
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.439
<v Speaker 1>which began with the launch of IRS one A in

80
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eighty eight. These satellites provide critical data for agriculture, forestry,

81
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 1>land use mapping, urban planning, disaster management and environmental monitoring.

82
00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:00.839
<v Speaker 1>The Cardasat series, a subset of IRS satellites, offers high

83
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>resolution imagery for detailed cartographic applications. The Chandraan missions represent

84
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:15.879
<v Speaker 1>another significant chapter in ISRO's journey. Chandrayan one, launched in

85
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:21.079
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and eight, was India's first lunar mission. The

86
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.879
<v Speaker 1>mission's primary objective was to map the Moon's surface and

87
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:30.319
<v Speaker 1>search for water ice in the lunar soil. Chandrayan one's

88
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Moon Impact probe confirmed the presence of water molecules on

89
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the Moon, a discovery that has profound implications for future

90
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:45.879
<v Speaker 1>lunar exploration and potential colonization. Chandraan II, launched by the

91
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Indian Space Research Organization ISRO on July twenty second, twenty nineteen,

92
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:58.600
<v Speaker 1>aim to explore the lunar South Pole. The mission comprised

93
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.960
<v Speaker 1>an orbiter, a land under named Vicrome, in a rover

94
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>named Prugion. While the Vicrome lander failed to execute a

95
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.919
<v Speaker 1>soft landing in September twenty nineteen, the orbiter has been

96
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 1>successfully conducting scientific experiments and sending valuable data back to Earth.

97
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.360
<v Speaker 1>The orbiter carries eight scientific instruments designed to map the

98
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:29.759
<v Speaker 1>lunar surface, study the exosphere, and analyze mineral composition and

99
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:35.720
<v Speaker 1>water ized presence. Despite the lander mishap, the mission has

100
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:41.399
<v Speaker 1>significantly contributed to lunar science by providing detailed imagery and data,

101
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:48.039
<v Speaker 1>enhancing our understanding of the Moon's surface and exosphere. Chandraan

102
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:51.639
<v Speaker 1>II has laid the groundwork for future lunar missions and

103
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:59.679
<v Speaker 1>demonstrated ISRO's growing capabilities in space exploration. The continued success

104
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>of the US the orbiter highlights India's commitment to advancing

105
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.840
<v Speaker 1>scientific knowledge and its role in global space exploration efforts.

106
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Chandran three, launched by ISRO in July twenty twenty three,

107
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.960
<v Speaker 1>is India's latest mission to the Moon following the partial

108
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:24.639
<v Speaker 1>success of Chandrain iiO. This mission includes a lander named

109
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Vikrom and a rover named Progion, but does not have

110
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.399
<v Speaker 1>an orbiter as it relies on the Chandrain two orbiter

111
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 1>for communication. Chandraan three achieved a significant milestone by successfully

112
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>performing a soft landing on the Moon's south pole, a

113
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:49.960
<v Speaker 1>challenging and largely unexplored region. After landing, Vikrm and progan

114
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>began their scientific tasks, focusing on surface and subsurface analysis.

115
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:00.919
<v Speaker 1>The lander is equipped with the chased payloffe, which has

116
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 1>been recording temperature variations at different depths on the lunar surface,

117
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:11.759
<v Speaker 1>providing critical data about the Moon's thermal properties. The rover

118
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Prugion is exploring the lunar terrain, conducting Institute experiments and

119
00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:22.919
<v Speaker 1>analyzing the lunar soil. The data from these experiments are

120
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.559
<v Speaker 1>being relayed back to Earth via the Chandrain two orbiter,

121
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:31.600
<v Speaker 1>contributing valuable information to our understanding of the Moon's composition

122
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 1>and geological history. Also Vieditya L one mission, India's first

123
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.039
<v Speaker 1>solar observatory, aims to study the Sun from the lagrange

124
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:48.279
<v Speaker 1>point one L one, located about one point five million

125
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:54.840
<v Speaker 1>kilometers from Earth. Launched on September two, twenty twenty three,

126
00:11:55.279 --> 00:12:00.480
<v Speaker 1>by the PSLVC fifty seven rocket, the mission successfully reached

127
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>its halo orbit around the L one point on January sixth,

128
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four. This halo orbit allows for continuous observation

129
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.679
<v Speaker 1>of the Sun without interruptions caused by Earth's shadow and

130
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:20.720
<v Speaker 1>ensures an unobstructed view for the spacecraft's instruments. In its

131
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:26.480
<v Speaker 1>operational phase, Aditya L one has already completed significant milestones.

132
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>It underwent three station keeping maneuvers, the latest on July second,

133
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:38.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four, to maintain its precise orbit despite various

134
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:44.399
<v Speaker 1>perturbing forces. These maneuvers were crucial to keep the spacecraft

135
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:48.399
<v Speaker 1>in its intended trajectory, ensuring the success of the mission

136
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.360

137
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 1>the Gaganian Mission, which aims to send Indian astronauts known

138
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:06.799
<v Speaker 1>as Vilemanauts into space. Announced in twenty eighteen, Deganian represents

139
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:11.159
<v Speaker 1>India's entry into human space exploration with the goal of

140
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:17.840
<v Speaker 1>demonstrating crewed spaceflight capabilities and conducting scientific experiments in microgravity.

141
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:25.679
<v Speaker 1>The mission involves extensive collaboration with international partners, including Russia
