The Indian Space Research Organisation

The Indian Space Research Organisation is the primary body for space research under the control of the government of India. It was established in its modern form in 1969 as a result of coordinated efforts initiated earlier. Under the guidance of a number of scientists, ISRO has conducted a variety of operations—supported by its launch vehicle fleet—for both Indian and foreign clients. ISRO has several field installations at its disposal and cooperates with the international community as a part of several bilateral and multilateral agreements.
The Indian Space Research Organization has been sanctioned the required budget of Rs. 12,400 crore for its human spaceflight program. According to the Space Commission which has passed the budget, an unmanned flight will be launched in 2013-2014 and manned mission likely to launch by 2014-2015. If realized in the stated time-frame, India will become only the fourth nation, after the USSR, USA and China, to successfully carry out manned missions indigenously.
ISRO's headquarters is located at Antariksh Bhavan in Bangalore.
ISRO is equipped with one of the best infrastructure and research oriented.
