As the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Rao oversaw the 1975 launch of India’s first satellite, ‘Aryabhata’.
Has been honored with Padma awards
Born in Karnataka on March 10, 1932, Rao died in 2017. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1976 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2017. Rao started his career as a cosmic ray scientist and worked under Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, the father of the Indian space program, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA.
He was the first scientist to establish the persistent nature of the solar wind and its effect on geomagnetism using Mariner-2 observations, in collaboration with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory Group. Rao’s experiments on several ‘Pioneer’ and ‘Explorer’ spacecraft led to a more complete understanding of solar cosmic-ray phenomena and the electromagnetic state of inter-planetary space.
held many important positions
He was also the Chairman of the Governing Council of the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad and the Nehru Planetarium in Bengaluru and the Chancellor of the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) in Thiruvananthapuram.
Rao was inducted into Washington’s Satellite Hall of Fame in 2013 at a ceremony by the Society of Satellite Professionals International. With this he became the first Indian to be included in that category. He became the first Indian space scientist to be inducted into the prestigious ‘IAF Hall of Fame’ in Guadalajara, Mexico.
