The Indian space programme was institutionalized in 1969 with the formation of Indian Space Research Organisation [ISRO]. Indian space programme is aimed at promoting the development and application of space science and technology for the socio-economic benefit of the country and also providing valuable service to the Nation in a self reliant manner. India has achieved self-reliance in both Spacecraft and Satellite Launch Vehicle Programmes with the operationalisation of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle [PSLV] for launching remote sensing satellites in polar orbits and Geo-synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle [GSLV] for launching communication and meteorological satellites in Geosynchronous transfer orbits. Two major operational space systems have been established - the Indian National Satellite [INSAT] for telecommunication, television broadcasting, meteorological services and developmental education etc and the Indian Remote Sensing Satellites for resources monitoring and management. The space programme has made a multi-quantum forward leap, making India a major self-reliant space power.
The future ISRO programme envisages development of cutting edge technologies for reusable launch vehicle, development of advanced technologies for manned mission, advanced high efficiency semi-cryogenic propulsion system, advanced communication satellite, satellite based navigation system, hyper spectral imaging sensors, and inter planetary missions. ISRO has a strong base in space science too and the first Indian scientific mission to the Moon and advanced Astronomical Satellite are slated for launch in the near future.
ISRO offers the position of Scientist/Engineer 'SC' in the pay scale of Rs.8000-275-13500/- [pay scale
