ISRO marks Dr Vikram Sarabhai birth centenary

Deccan Chronicle  

BENGALURU: The plush headquarters of Indian Space Research Organisation in Bengaluru is getting a makeover to mark the birth centenary Dr Vikram Sarabhai, revered as father of the Indian space programme on Sunday. But the unprecedented changes are not limited to its interiors - in the works are as many as 17 new divisions and programme offices to support future inter-planetary missions, a human space flight project, technological innovations, pursuit of international cooperation, a support interface with the academia and the industry, and support start-ups in the realm of space. "We need these new directorates and programme offices to translate our vision" Dr K Sivan, Chairman, ISRO, told Deccan Chronicle, adding that the space agency could no longer bank on only two such entities in its headquarters to cover the entire spectrum of activities. "We have created one programme office for satellite communications, one programme office for launch vehicles, another for earth observation applications, yet another for sat com policy and applications, another for satellite navigations, then one for innovations in technology, and one for human space flight project. "For example, Dr Venkatakrishna, who was working in Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Thiruvananthapuram, will head the office for capacity building, Dr Nageshwar Rao will lead the satellite infrastructure programme office, Dr K K Sood will be in charge of the office for satellite navigation, Mrs V R Lalithambika will head the human space flight project, and Dr P K Anuradha will head the satellite communication programme office," he added.
