Fifty years later, today the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) has built 131 satellites, 51 of which are presently in orbit. Named after the ancient astronomer, Aryabhata was the country’s first indigenously built satellite launched from Russian soil on April 19, 1975.

The Rohini Sounding Rocket Experiment and subsequent experiments since 1963 from the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station in Thiruvananthapuram, established by Vikram Sarabhai, tasted success multiple times, but Isro’s plan of designing and building its own satellite launch vehicle (SLV) was still at the drawing board. This meant …
