Space Achievements:

· Aryabhata-which is the first Indian successful satellite launched on 24 April 1975 by using Soviet Union 3m launch Vehicle ,Which weighs 360 kg. The Mission of the Aryabhata are X-ray on astronomy, agronomics, solar physics. An power failure made the Satellite to Halt in four days. Thus Aryabhata has decayed on 10 February 1992.

· India used First Own space vehicle SLV-3 to launch satellite Named Rohini into space, which weighs 35 kg on 18 July 1980.
