Step-by-step explanation:India is one of the few countries that have taken up the challenge of exploring space and utilizing space for the benefits of the common man. For this, the country has developed various technologies which few other countries have done. India’s ACHIEVEMENTS in space today are the result of the FARSIGHTEDNESS of Dr Vikram Sarabhai, one of the greatest sons of India. Sarabhai was a great dreamer and showed the path to REALIZE those dreams. He had firm belief in the power of space TECHNOLOGY to bring about rapid and overall development of India. Professor Satish Dhawan, who succeeded Dr Sarabhai as the head of the Indian space programme, made immense contributions to the Indian space programme by ASSIGNING great importance to developing and mastering space technologies through indigenous efforts. He also laid emphasis on the involvement of the Indian industry to meet the needs of the country’s space programme. Professor U.R. Rao, Dr K. Kasturirangan, Dr G. Madhavan Nair and Dr K. Radhakrishnan, who succeeded Professor Dhawan, have made their own unique contributions to the Indian space programme.
