Space Vision India 2025 !!

Recently when I stumbled upon our ISRO’s website I was taken aback by the new web design. I have been loathing for long about the quality of ISRO’s site and its charmless appearance when compared to even the website or Iranian Space Agency. ISRO has struck a good chord with its revamped design and layout of it website to give more user friendly look and feel. But I personally feel it could have been even more better. I guess the new site is promoted from this independence day - Aug 15th.
This post is not exactly about the look and feel of ISRO’s site but the new postulates that ISRO had promoted in as its vision and mission statement for the year 2025.
Please read below for India’s Space Vision ‘ 2025
- Satellite based communication and navigation systems for rural connectivity, security needs and mobile services
- Enhanced imaging capability for natural resource management, weather and climate change studies
- Space science missions for better understanding of solar system and universe
- Planetary exploration
- Development of Heavy lift launcher
- Reusable Launch Vehicles - Technology demonstrator missions leading to Two Stage To Orbit (TSTO)
- Human Space Flight
Am important point to note hear is the last and said as the least priority given above - the Human Space Flight. Yes, when India’s Space science visionary Dr.Vikram Sarabhai set up ISRO he envisaged that our country is poor and we should not try to waste money in lavish researches like exploring mars, putting humans to space, etc. Our priority is to use the technology in right spirit and therefore people’s money should be used carefully. He believed Space science in India through ISRO should benefit the common man. All this was before 50 years ! And yes we achieved the same. We have the largest fleet of Remote sensing satellites that helps in solving humanitarian problems right from disaster prevention to crop yield in the paddy fields !!
Now that India has supposedly become a better country in terms of GDP growth and faster growing economy in the world, we can afford to experiment our technology in the vistas that we have not been before - like Human Space flight, Moon mission Chandrayaan, etc. Lets all be proud and be happy for what we have achieved all these years ! Lets salute those thousands of brains behind every success in India’s Space missions !
