Abstract
Prof U R Rao was the chief architect of ISAC, conceiving it even before Aryabhata was initiated, and he used Aryabhata as an opportunity to move satellite activity to Bangalore, an important milestone towards setting up ISAC. He conceptualized the projects like SEO and APPLE to enhance the relevance and ISSP, increased its visibility and consolidate the technical manpower and infrastructure. This resulted in fulfilling his dream of setting up of the Satellite Centre on 3rd November, 1976. However, there were many others who contributed to the cause in their own way largely by creating competence in their own area of expertise. Each has played a very important role like a strong link in a long chain. It is the integrated strength and this chapter is an attempt to pay tribute to their contributions.
