Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the primary space agency of India, headquartered at Bengaluru, was formed in 1969 and it superseded the erstwhile Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR).
Since then, ISRO has been working on its mission to provide space based services to the country and to develop technologies to independently achieve the same.
The Department of Space (DOS) and the Space Commission were set up in 1972 and ISRO was brought under DOS on June 1, 1972.
