LOCAL AGENCY
FURTHER INFORMATION
ISRO Satellite Centre (ISAC) is the lead centre for Satellite Building and Development of state of art Technologies. About 2500 personnel work in ISAC, majority of whom are highly qualified Engineers and Technicians. The Centre has a flexible matrix organization structure striving to ensure best possible use of expertise and resources. It is organized in to core functional R & D Groups and Project Groups supported by specialised fabrication and Testing facilities.
Five
functional areas (MSA,CMA,DCA,IPA,RCA), FACILITIES, two independent groups
(PPEG,CIG), Three Programme Management offices for spacecraft projects namely
GEOSAT, IRS&SMALL SATELLITES, ASTROSAT and an independent Division (SAID)
for space science research presently constitute the core of the Organisation.
The functional Areas and Projects report to Director of the Centre Dr. K.
N. Shankara. The functional groups are supported by the Administrative &
auxiliary Divisions headed by Controller.
The
Laboratory for Electro-Optic Systems (LEOS), working under the overall umbrella
of ISAC, carries out research and development in the field of electro optic
sensors and supplies systems required for satellites.
ISRO
Satellite Centre (ISAC), is the lead Centre for realization of the state of the
art spacecraft, in the application domain of Communication, Television, Remote
Sensing, Meteorology, Space Science, Interplanetary Explorations etc.
Over
the years, ISAC has executed several satellite projects representing broad
spectrum of satellite technologies. Beginning with the Scientific and
application experiments, these have culminated in to operational space systems.
This Centre has leap frogged in to new generation advanced versions of
satellites such as Microwave Remote Sensing, Direct Broadcasting Satellites,
Interplanetary probes etc.
ISAC
realised major programmes in the above areas and witnessed the successful
launch of INSAT-3A, INSAT-3E, GSAT–2, IRS-P6 and GSAT-3 in the year 2003.
Development efforts are underway in the arena of advanced remote sensing &
Communication, Space science explorations, Lunar Mission and other operational
services and spacecraft in these areas are planned to be realized in the coming
years.
The
Government of India set up the Space Commission & Department of Space (DOS)
in 1972 to promote the development & application of space technology &
space science for the socio-economic benefit of the nation. ISRO, with its

Goals
There are some who question the relevance of space activities in a developing nation. To us, there is no ambiguity of purpose. They do not have the fantasy of competing with the economically advanced nations in the exploration of the moon or the planets or manned space-flight. But they are convinced that if they are to play a meaningful role nationally, and in the community of nations, they must be second to none in the application of advanced technologies to the real problems of man and society.
The
primary objective of ISAC is to develop and operationalise indigenous
satellites and use space technology for socio-economic development of the
country.
