    Solution

    The beginnings of the Indian Space Programme resonated strongly with its founding father Dr. Vikram Sarabhai’s vision, that we must be ‘second to none in the application of advanced technologies for the benefit of society’. It was with the formation of the Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) in 1962, followed by the first sounding rocket launch from Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) in 1963 that the space programme formally took off.
