What is ISRO's Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre?

In the year 1962, science and technology in India were not as advanced or ahead of their time. However, there was a lot of drive to become better than other countries. That is when India founded the Indian National Committee for Space Research.  



This was when the space activities in the country were started. In the very same year, the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station was opened near Thiruvananthapuram. Although these were great fats in Physical Sciences in India, they were not being utilised properly. 

This was when the Indian government established the Indian Space Research organisation, better known as ISRO, in 1969.  

Since there were too many organisations doing the same work, the government then constituted the Space Commission and opened a Department of Space. ISRO was later brought under the same department in 1972.  



What Is The Purpose Of The Department Of Space?


Department of Space & ISRO were mainly founded with the aim to promote development and the application of Space Science as well as technology. The government wanted an organisation that would solely focus on outer space innovations and aid the holistic growth of the country.

However, the Department of Space later came into use for a number of other reasons. Some of them are further mentioned below: 

  • A Launch vehicle programme was initiated and could launch spacecraft out of the Earth’s atmosphere.
  • The INSAT program later got used for broadcasting, meteorology, development of education and most importantly, telecommunications.
  • The Remote Sensing Programme used satellite imagery for a number of developmental purposes.
  • Research as well as development in Astronomy & Space Sciences for gaining knowledge to further aid national growth.  


What Other Establishments Has The Government Invested In? 


The liquid propulsion systems centre (LPSC), which is essentially a research and development centre under the ISRO, is another establishment not many know about. 

There are mainly two units of this establishment, one located in Trivandrum and the other in Bengaluru. Both these places deal with Chemical Sciences. However, there are certain pros and cons of each.  

The LPSC is more engaged with the development of the cryogenic and liquid propulsion stages for just launch vehicles and the auxiliary propulsion systems for launch vehicles and satellites. However, all precision fabrication facilities and development of transducers are managed by the Bangalore unit.  


To Sum Up 


These establishments may not come to relevance for the common mass in their daily life but are great feats of technology innovation in India. They have helped put India on the map and prove that it is capable of equal, if not better, infrastructure than the rest of the world. 

In this blog, you will find enough information about such development to acquire a basic understanding of the industry. However, if you want to learn more, you can always search online. There are many articles and blogs, some even on government official pages, allowing you to learn more. Rest assured, at this rate of development, India will soon be known as a powerful country.

If you want to go through the history of the Indian leather industry then you should start with the formation of the Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI) . Founded in 1948, CLRI is a premier institution of research and development that has achieved many milestones.      CLRI is an institution of repute that has produced many research papers and completed many patents. It came into being after independence but the ground for such an institute was already here. India has an advantage over others. It has the livestock that enables the country to take centerstage in leather production. But it became possible only after CLRI came into being. Let’s understand the work culture of CLRI  It is a constituent laboratory under the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research. It works like a lab where research work is conducted and it works on the development of leather tanning in India. If you go through the number of livestock available in the country and the amount of leather produced,

How to Check Scientific Knowledge of a Country?

Image
Where would you look for information about science and technology in India ? If your answer is the web then you are half right. Yes, you are right that many websites can provide information about scientific knowledge in India but would those sites be reliable. India is a leader in scientific knowledge and there are reasons to believe so. And you don’t have to scan the web for information as the government is here to answer all your queries about the growth and development of scientific knowledge in the country. Here in this blog, we’ll discuss everything that the government site has to offer. Education They provide works like an e-book for knowledge hunters. It has featured articles on technical advancements made in recent years. Also, you will check how scientific knowledge is helping in the development of society. You will get an education on technology innovation in India including rural application, disadvantaged sections, specially-abled persons, unreached regions, and other soci
