It outlines many unique evolutionary aspects of the Indian space endeavour that have influenced space science, especially high-energy astronomy and planetary exploration. J.C. Bose was one of the most distinguished scientists and one of the earliest from India to be elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society. His pioneering investigations in the area of wireless communications are well known The two missions chosen for this discussion are the multi-wavelength space observatory called Astrosat and Chandrayaan-1, which was the first Indian mission to the moon; both illustrate the character of this interesting evolution.
