ISRO Headquarters, Bengaluru
Also known as ISRO, Antariksh Bhavan
The Indian Space Research Organisation headquarters at Antariksh Bhavan, New BEL Road, Bengaluru, established 15 August 1969 with Vikram Sarabhai as its first chairman — the successor to the Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR, 1962) that he had already set up under the Department of Atomic Energy. ISRO built Aryabhata (first Indian satellite, 1975), developed the SLV, ASLV, PSLV and GSLV launch vehicles, placed the Chandrayaan-1 orbiter (2008) and Chandrayaan-3 lander-rover (2023 — first soft landing near the lunar south pole), and the Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan, 2014 — first Asian success on the first try).
