Narayanan, currently head of an ISRO centre called Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC), is set to succeed S. Somanath on 14 January & will be in office for next 2 years.
Rocket & spacecraft propulsion expert, V Narayanan joined ISRO in 1984 and has nearly 4 decades of experience. Under him, the team developed C25 Stage, a vital component of GSLV Mk III.
Dr Koppillil Radhakrishnan was ISRO chairperson from 2009 to 2014. RSS annual Dussehra celebrations assume significance because Sangh was founded on Vijayadashami in 1925.
ISRO chief says Gaganyaan’s unmanned mission is being planned for December and rocket has reached Sriharikota, adds that design for Bharatiya Antariksha Station is complete.
The claim that VB-GRAMG provides an employment guarantee is incorrect. The only guarantee is to 'empower' the Centre to allow partial implementation in notified areas alone.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
