The Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was established in 1962 to promote space research in India. It played a crucial role in laying the foundation for the country's space program, focusing on the development of satellite technology and launching capabilities. INCOSPAR was instrumental in the formation of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in 1969, which has since become a leading space agency. The committee's efforts helped India achieve significant milestones in space exploration, including satellite launches and advancements in space science.
