1. 5 ISRO Facts That You Didn’t Know https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/

2. The era of space-oriented programs have been a part of this world since the 20th century & it was predominantly been ruled by the countries like Soviet Union, China & Japan.  But India was also one of the prime sources in pertaining to various space programs like Aryabhatta, Rohini, SLV-3, Chandrayaan & many others. https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/

3. The vital source of these entire elements of success is a major space organization of Government of India by the name ISRO, the Indian Space Research Organization following a vision to “harness space technology for national development while pursuing space science research and planetary exploration.”  https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/

4. Before it being incarnated by the name ISRO, it was named INCOSPAR. It was been initiated by Dr.Vikram Sarabhai & Dr.Homi Baba under the tenure of Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru. As ISRO is an India based space organization, the notions of it does follow some of the Hindu mythology as well.  But it also has played a major role in positioning India as one of the prominent countries in providing valuable resources to the world & giving cost effective space research programs. https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/

5. So, let’s look at the great space missions and initiatives that ISRO took up before the success of Chandrayaan! https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/

6. Aryabhatta https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/

7. One of the first major and renowned mathematician & astronomer of India who not only gave us the biggest numerical gift called “zero”, but also gave us the thesis for the possible explanation of solar & lunar eclipse, algebra and many more.  So keeping his contribution towards mathematics & astronomy, ISRO built India’s first satellitewhich was being launched by the Soviet Union on 19th April 1975. It was basically pertained to conduct experiments in terms of X-ray astronomy, aeronomics & solar physics. https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/

8. Rohini https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/

9. It is one of the first Indian satellites which was been launched by India. This initiative was taken by ISRO, which consisted of a series of four satellites, out of which three of them made it successfully to the orbit. It was launched in 10th August 1979 & was installed with smart censored cameras  which can take over 2500 photographs. The camera has that strength & capacity to take photographs in the situations of both visible & infrared bands. https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/

10. Satellite Launch Vehicle https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/

11. This project was initiated way before the launch of Aryabhatta & Rohini. But it finally laid its grounds for the first successful launch on 18th July 1980. The main objective for this project was to enhance and upgrade the technology pertaining to the launch of satellites. It was basically a four stage separation rocket with solid propellant motors which is usually been shown in various cartoon like Tom & Jerry etc. https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/

12. Mangalyaan https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/

13. One of the prestigious space programs ever taken by India under the tenure of our honorable Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi, it was India’s first ever interplanetary mission ranking it the fourth space agency to endeavor their journey to Mars apart from NASA & the European Space Agency. https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/

14. This mission specifically overcomes barriers faced in terms of technology, design, planning, management & operations, making it a cost effective solution for various space missions. The primary objective of this mission was to examine the schematics of Mars from the outer orbit and make the necessary calculations required. https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/

15. Bhuvan https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/

16. As every individual has certain constrains regarding various aspects, they always find a resource to full fill them. In the same way, every traveler used to mesmerize their thoughts of travel by looking for specific location on Google Earth as it was one of the widely regarded application for visualizing Earth in a 3D perspective. But ISRO took an initiative in starting up a service called “Bhuvan” which grants the users to explore 2D/3D representation of the Earth’s surface. https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/

17. But it is specifically augmented to view all the specifics of India, providing the following information in 4 different languages. It also helps out in time to time disaster management support domestic or internationally. It also acts as a primary platform for hosting specific government data like the Karnataka Forest Department Dataset.  https://mantisfunda.com/2019/07/24/5-isro-missions-that-you-must-know/
