भारतीय अंतरिक्ष अनुसंधान संगठन
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is India's national space agency, responsible for space-based operations, exploration, and the development of related technologies. As a key part of the Department of Space, ISRO designs and develops launch vehicles and satellites, including the INSAT series for communication and the IRS system for remote sensing. ISRO operates launch facilities like the Satish Dhawan Space Centre and collaborates with international partners such as NASA and CNES. ISRO's work enables services like telecommunications, broadcasting, weather forecasting, resource monitoring, and navigation. Key words: space agency, satellites, launch vehicles, exploration, remote sensing, communication.
