The
Department of Space
(
DoS
)
[3]
is an
Indian government
department responsible for administration of the Indian space programme. It manages several agencies and institutes related to
space exploration
and
space technologies
. The Indian space programme under the DoS aims to promote the development and application of space science and technology for the socio-economic benefit of the country. It includes two major satellite systems,
INSAT
for communication, television broadcasting and meteorological services, and
Indian Remote Sensing Satellites
(IRS) system for resources monitoring and management. It has also developed two satellite launch vehicles
Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle
(PSLV) and
Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle
(GSLV) to place IRS and INSAT class satellites in orbit.
History
[
edit
]
In 1961, the
Government of India
and then
Prime Minister
Jawaharlal Nehru
entrusted the responsibility for space research and for the peaceful use of outer space to the
Department of Atomic Energy
(DAE), then under the leadership of
Homi J. Bhabha
. In 1962, the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) set up
Indian National Committee for Space Research
(INCOSPAR), with
Vikram Sarabhai
as chairman, to organise a national space programme.
In 1969, INCOSPAR was reconstituted as an advisory body under the India National Science Academy (INSA) and the
Indian Space Research Organisation
(ISRO) was established. The Government of India constituted the Space Commission and established the Department of Space (DoS) in 1972 and brought ISRO under DoS management on 1 June 1972.
On 15 January 2022
S. Somanath
succeeded
Kailasavadivoo Sivan
as the
Secretary
(Space) and
ex-officio
chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation
and Space Commission.
[2]
Vanditha Sharma is the
additional secretary
of the department.
