From rockets on bicycles, India has come a long way in space: Isro chief - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

From carrying rocket parts on bicycles and satellites on bullock carts in the 1970s, India has become one of the world leaders in the space sector through its successful Mars orbiter and Chandrayaan missions, which have also made several world records, ISRO chairman V Narayanan said here on Saturday.

Speaking at the 27th convocation of the Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) - Kozhikode, Narayanan said the country has come a long way from when it launched its first satellite - Aryabhata -- on a Soviet rocket.

Now India has 131 satellites in orbit, has launched 433 satellites for 34 countries and successfully completed its 100th launch on January 29 this year, he said.
