ISRO chief charts new course

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: India’s new space boss will fly in a direction that few of his predecessors have attempted before: Space sector reforms. In a sense, Dr S. Somanath, recently appointed as chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation, will be giving wings to budding space scientists and widening the Space sector. He will also oversee the launch of the first elements of India’s first human space flight endeavour, Gaganyaan. The new chief wants to ensure that there is a continuous series of rocket launches and would accelerate preparations for Gaganyaan, which envisages undertaking the demonstration of human Space flight to Low Earth Orbit in the short-term. This is in addition to important priority missions such as the much-awaited Chandrayaan III, the third lunar mission and Aditya L1, which will be inserted in a halo orbit around the ‘Lagrangian point 1 ’.
