Some Interesting Facts:-
Vikram Sarabhai
- Vikram Sarabhai was the person behind India’s first satellite Aryabhata.
- his efforts brought television to India with his consistent communication with NASA.

ISRO
- ISRO made itself gleam by creating the cheapest mission to mars. Its Mars Orbiter Mission cost about ₹450 Crore (US$73 million), with an average of ₹12/km travelled.
- ISRO has also developed various satellites to monitor the weather situation around the country. Its INSAT-3DR is an advanced meteorological (weather observation) satellite to provide the necessary inputs required for accurate weather forecasting.
BARC
- BARC handles all facets of nuclear power generation.
- Bhabha got recognition initially after he devised the correct expression for scattering electrons, by the process he devised, called Bhabha scattering.
- BARC designed India’s first pressurized water reactor of 80mw capacity at Kalpakkam( Chennai).
- The organization played a significant role in making India the 6th country in the world to have a nuclear submarine.
