The Achievements of ISRO ( ESSAY for SSC CHSL and CGL )


                                                              The achievements of  ISRO



ISRO, The Indian Space Research Organization, is making India proud by giving tremendous success in the field of space research. The Indian Space Research Organization, ISRO started working form nothing and now through immense efforts it becomes one of the greatest space research organizations in the world.

 Its Headquarter is in Bangalore, Karnataka. In the year 1962, ISRO was formed superseding ISCOPAR (Indian National Committee for Space Research) which was formed by India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru and renowned scientist Dr. Vikram Saravai.

 The first ever satellite , Aryabhatta made by ISRO was launched in the year 1975 by Soviet Union. Then we had no launch vehicle.  In the year 1980, ISRO built its first ever launching pad, SLV-3 which successfully launched satellite Rohini. Then ISRO subsequently developed two other rockets –PSLV (the Polar satellite Launch Vehicle) and GSLV (Geosynchronous Satellite launch Vehicle). PSLV rockets helps to launch satellite into the polar orbits while GSLV helps placing satellite into geostationary orbits. This was one of the huge successes for ISRO because thus we become less dependable on others while launching satellites. These two satellites launched numerous satellites since then. Satellite Navigation Systems like GAGAN and IRNSS have been deployed.  

 In 2014 ISRO successfully used an indigenous cryogenic engine in a GSLV. ISRO sent a lunar orbiter, Chandrayaan- 1 in 2008 and a Mars orbiter, Mars Orbiter Mission in 2013 successfully. India became first nation in the world to reach Mars orbiter in its first attempt. ISRO becomes fourth space agency in the world and first space agency in Asia to successfully reach Mars orbit.  

 It also created a world record by launching 104 satellites includes 93 satellites from US by a single Rocket in 2017.  In the same year it launched its heaviest rocket PSLV-C37 capable of launching 4 ton heavy satellites.

It has been a very interesting journey for ISRO since it was formed and hopefully it will enrich our India as a nation by giving more and more successes ahead.
