Quotes
Dr V Narayanan
Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)
“We in ISRO are very happy as just last week, we had a successful launch of our Bahubali rocket LVM3, placing the heaviest satellite from Indian soil-BlueBird-Block 2… placed in precise orbit. For benefiting our Indian Navy just last month we had another launch success of LVM3 placing NVSO3 the heaviest Indian satellite so far. Just four months ago, we had a great milestone launch when our GSLV F16/NISAR launch was a great success. The Chandrayaan-4 programme is approved and this mission shall be planned as a sample return mission, The Bharathiya Antariksh Station (BAS) shall be a reality by 2035, for which the initial modules in space shall start as early as 2027. An Indian has to land on the moon and return safely by a fully indigenous moon mission by 2040. A Venus orbital Mission (VOM) and a mass lander mission has also been approved. A heavy lift Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV) with recoverable first stage has also been approved by the Centre. When we look at the organisation… It is built by generations of leaders and each of them have played their role very well.”
