India's space research is primarily conducted by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), which was established in 1969. ISRO focuses on developing satellite technology, launching satellites, and conducting space missions. It has successfully launched various satellites for communication, weather forecasting, and earth observation. One of ISRO's notable achievements is the Mars Orbiter Mission, which made India the first Asian nation to reach Mars orbit in 2014. Additionally, ISRO has developed the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) to enhance its satellite launch capabilities.
