ISRO: There was a time when India was not considered a leading country in the matter of space science. But this picture changed after the establishment of the Indian Research Space Organization (ISRO) on 15 August 1969. In the year 1963, India launched its first rocket into space. And after that, ISRO quickly climbed many steps of success.
Indian Research Space Organization i.e. ISRO is currently among the top five space agencies in the world. In the last few years, ISRO has expanded its reach from the Moon to Mars. Satellites not only of India but also of other countries have been launched by ISRO. Due to which India has also benefited a lot economically. Let us know how India is earning money from satellites of other countries.
Earned around Rs 1500 crore
ISRO is currently the emerging space agency of the world. This can also be estimated from the fact that even big countries like America are getting their satellites launched from India. India has so far launched satellites of 21 countries including not only America but also Canada, Algeria, Japan, Britain and Singapore.
In the year 2017, India launched 104 satellites simultaneously. Of which 96 were from America and the rest were satellites from countries like Israel, UAE, Holland and Switzerland. Till now India and abroad have launched a total of 424 satellites. According to the information given by the government, India has earned about Rs 1500 crore only from the launch of foreign satellites.
Why is there so much trust in ISRO?
In today’s time, other countries are trusting ISRO a lot. And they are getting their important satellites launched from ISRO. Actually, it is not just trust that is involved behind this. But also quality and price. Satellites for which other countries spend more to launch.
Whereas ISRO launches these satellites at very low cost and in a safe manner. In such a situation, other countries are taking advantage of this feature of ISRO and due to which ISRO is getting profit. India has two excellent space launching vehicles, PSLV and GSLV. Which are quite reliable.
