Fifty years in the making, India’s Space Programme is fulfilling the vision of its founders and delivering services from space that touch the lives of 1.3 billion people every day. In addition to operating a collection of satellites for weather, Earth observation, navigation and communication, today has a spacecraft orbiting Mars and a space telescope orbiting the Earth.
This book provides the big picture of India’s long association with science, from historical figures like Aryabhata and Bhaskara to Homi Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai, the key architects of its space program. It covers the scientific contribution of Indian scientist during the European enlightenment and industrial revolution through the work of physicist S.N Bose, experimentalist J.C. Bose, mathematician S. Ramanujan and Nobel Laureate C.V. Raman and othjers. It traces the technological development of Tipu Sultan’s use of rockets for war in the 1780s; the all but forgotten contribution of Stephen H Smith’s use of rockets as a means of transport in 1935 in northern India and the emergence of Sriharikota – India’s spaceport.
Key questions about the Indian Space Research Organisation covered in the book, include; a detailed account on why a fishing village in Kerala was used to launch India’s first rocket into space on 21 November 1963, what types of launchers India has developed? How are the ordinary people of India benefit from the space programme? How India got to the Moon and Mars? What are the prospects for India’s ambitions in space for human spaceflight, military and science? In space will India compete or collaborate with China, USA and Russia?
This detailed work in 645 pages, 29 tables and 9 appendices is richly illustrated with 140+ illustrations (some images published for the first time) and supported by over 1000 references. It is written for the non-specialist offering a big picture view of India’s space program – its history, current status and future ambitions, all in one place.

MR R G EVANS

Heartily recommended!!

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk 🇬🇧 op 13 december 2017

Geverifieerde aankoop

This was a snap purchase but one I have very much enjoyed. Its not the sort of tome you can read in a couple of days but is non the worse for it. I am by no means an expert, more an enthusiastic amateur but found so much to enjoy as a lover of facts too. Positivity brims from this book, stemming from India's incredible journey starting from nothing in 1963 to todays lofty heights (no pun intended). What are the possibilities for other nations that embark on a similar journey? This was just one of many questions that occurred to me before I was even half way through The Indian Space Programme. Heartily recommended!!

Comprehensive Guide to India's space programme

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk 🇬🇧 op 19 juni 2019

Geverifieerde aankoop

This book is a highly detailed review of the development of India's Space Programme and of the personalities involved. It is useful in putting today's goals in a historical context and will undoubtedly be a text that I will return to again and again as India's space programme evolves. I cannot praise the author's research for the book enough, it is a book that takes time to read, but is highly rewarding for all the insights that the author brings to a much neglected subject.

Good going!

Beoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten 🇺🇸 op 9 mei 2018

Geverifieerde aankoop

Lengthy, but comprehensive. I knew some of the NASA folks who
went to India on joint programs. Fascinating story about how the
technology was purchased and develop-in house. Now, they sent
a spacecraft to Mars, and well as 100 cubesats to orbit on one
launch.
Good going!
