Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is the space agency of India. The organisation is involved in science, engineering and technology to the benefits of outer space for India and the mankind. ISRO is a major constituent of the Department of Space (DOS), Government of India. The department executes the Indian Space Programmeprimarily through various Centres or units within ISRO.
ISRO was previously the Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR), set up by the Government of India in 1962, as envisioned by Dr. Vikram A Sarabhai. ISRO was formed on August 15, 1969 and superseded INCOSPAR with an expanded role to harness space technology. DOS was set up and ISRO was brought under DOS in 1972.
This Center will provide outdoor accessions like animatronics dinosaurs, science-theme-based toy trains, nature exploration tours, motion simulators, portable solar observatories, and others.
