Abstract

This chapter chronicles the founding and early years of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), with a particular focus on the establishment of the Indian Space Science and Technology Centre (ISAC). It traces the visionary leadership of Prof U R Rao, who conceived ISAC even before the initiation of the Aryabhata satellite project. The narrative highlights the contributions of key figures such as Dr S P Kosta and Dr Kasturirangan, who played crucial roles in the development of ISAC and its satellite programs. The text also delves into the technical aspects of satellite development, including mechanical systems, power systems, telemetry, tracking, and command systems, attitude and orbit control systems, and satellite integration and ground checkout. It provides a detailed account of the challenges faced and the innovations developed by the ISAC team, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the history and technical evolution of India's space program.
