SPACE RESEARCH CENTRES OF INDIA

It was in 1972, the very first step had been taken for Indian Space research. Indian Government established two organisations - SPACE COMMISSION and DEPARTMENT OF SPACE. Government wanted to improve Space Technology and India’s progress by combination of these two institutions. One of the branches of DEPARTMENT OF SPACE is ISRO OR INDIAN SPACE RESEARCH ORGANISATION. The responsibility of progress in technical area and Space research both are the priority of ISRO. The main office of ISRO and DEPARTMENT OF SPACE both are in Bengaluru, formerly Bangalore, in the State of Karnataka, India. There are many institutions which work under the ISRO and DEPARTMENT OF SPACE.

BIKRAM SARABHAI SPACE CENTRE: 

This centre is originally situated at Thumba, at Thiruvananthapuram, the State of Kerala. All types of Rocket and Launch vehicles’ activities have been done here. The main subjects of their research are Avionics, Aeronautics, Mechanical Engineering, Solid Propulsion, Chemical, Polymer, Lunch vehicles etc.  The centre has its own campus where all the research has been done.

The Earth from space

ISRO INERTIAL SYSTEMS UNIT: 

This centre is situated at Thiruvananthapuram, in Kerala, India. The centre mainly research for inertial sensors and systems of satellite technology as well as launch vehicles.

LIQUID PROPULSION SYSTEM CENTRE:

There are three campuses under this centre. One is at Valiamala, Kerala, one is at Mahendragiri, Tamil Nadu other is at Bengaluru, Karnataka. The work on launch vehicles and Satellite auxiliary propulsion systems has been main here. The development on Cryogenic of  lunch vehicles and steps of liquid propulsion also part of the research. Activities on Space crafts and Cryogenic engines are the main theme of this centre.

SRIHARIKOTA CENTRE: 

Launching vehicle

The main and most famous launching centre of ISRO situated at Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, India. It is a rocket launching centre. This centre is a combination of two institutions, ISRO RANGE AND TEST FACILTY (IRT) and PROPELLANT AND TECHNICAL SERVCES FACLITY (PRT). The main job of this centre is to provide solid motor for launch vehicles. Besides this, there is sub-system of satellite and rocket launcher. It can store liquid propellant. Instrumental works of launch vehicles also done here. In the year of 2002, it got new name as SATISH DHAWAN SPACE CENTRE, named after frmer ISRO head. In 2013, the MANGALYAAN also launched from this centre. 

ISRO TELEMETRY, TRACKING AND COMMAND NETWORK: 

This centre of Bengaluru, Karnataka, supply technology to control the speed of vehicles. There are ground network stations at several cities. The cities are – Bengaluru, Lucknow, Sriharikota, Port Blair, Thiruvananthapuram and Hyderabad. There are stations outside India too.

ISRO SATELLITE CENTRE: 

Scientific, applications and technical aspects of a launch vehicle come up with the help of this institution. Designing, developing, caring etc has done by this centre. It research mainly on digital systems, microwave, and instruments of vehicles as well as test of them.

LABORATORY FOR ELECTRO-OPTIIC SYSTEMS: 

This is one of the parts of ISRO SATELLITE CENTRE, situated at Bengaluru, Karnataka. It works on sensors of  launch vehicles and satellites. It has two parts, one is SENSOR DEVELOPMENT GROUP and other is APPLIED OPTICS GROUP.

SPACE APPLLICATION CENTRE: 

This centre is in Ahmadabad, Gujarat. Research on Space and practical use of technology are feathering the job of this centre. Mainly work on satellite communication and remote sensor.

DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATIONAL COMMUNICATION UNIT:

This institution of Ahmadabad, Gujarat, mainly work on project of Space research, making reports on it and judge the quality of the project. In addition, also work on Space technical prospects and making of educational videos for its students.
