Indian Space Research Program
A good friend of mine ( retd Indian Army Major) sent this to me.. Very interesting, hence sharing with some rare photographs..
India's awakening to the Space age......
In the early 1960's ...India was slowly awakening to the Space age....Although rest of the world was preparing to reach for the Moon...we were making our humble beginning ...a small rocket took off from Thumba on the outskirts of Thiruvananthapuram, announcing the birth of the modern space age in India. That was when the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) formally came into existence. Over the years, TERLS have given birth to the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) and to the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)...
Some Pics that will make every Indian proud...
Pics that say...we may not be as successful as the US or Russia...but we are there nevertheless...so watch out for us...
This was how the Rocket Cone was transported to the Launch Pad at Thumba !!
November 21, 1963: The Nike Apache rocket being readied for launch
Nike Apache ? Looks like a RAG TAG set up trying to throw a water pipe across the fence.
Try Identifying the person on the left...most probably you wont be able to identify...He is our very own Hon'ble President Dr. A.P J. Abdul Kalam... in Early days at the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station.
He is readying equipment to be carried by a sounding rocket into the atmosphere are Kalam and R. Aravamudan
The present day Launch Station at SriHarikota
Comparable with Nasa !!
News in the making: Indian space craft to moon will carry US payload !
Jai Hind !!
