#ashokasays Did you know 65:
1. ISRO established in 1969, has launched more than 65 satellites to date.
2. The expenditure in last 40 years is about half of NASA's single tear budget.
3. ISRO is one of the six space agencies in the world with the capability to build and launch satellites from its own soil.
4. SAGA-220 supercomputer created by ISRO in May 2011 was the fastest supercomputer in India at the time of its launch. It is capable of performing 220 teraflops. Prithivi is currently the fastest Indian supercomputer capable of reaching a theoretical peak of 790.7 terraflops. Prithivi was designed for Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology.
5. Â ISRO is also working on a Human Spaceflight Program to undertake a human spaceflight mission to carry a crew of two to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and return them safely to a predefined destination on earth.
6. To accomplish this feat, ISRO is developing ISRO Orbital Vehicle capable of carrying three astronauts for seven days in a near earth orbit.
7. ISRO will set up an astronaut training centre in Bangalore to prepare personnel for flights on board the crewed vehicle. The center will use simulation facilities to train the selected astronauts in rescue and recovery operations and survival in zero gravity, and will undertake studies of the radiation environment of space.
