ISRO is managed by the Department of Space (DoS) of the Government of India. DoS itself falls under the authority of the Prime Minister's Office and the Space Commission, and manages the following agencies and institutes:[22]
The LPSC handles design, development, testing and implementation of liquid propulsion control packages, liquid stages and liquid engines for launch vehicles and satellites.[24] The testing of these systems is largely conducted at IPRC at Mahendragiri.[24] The LPSC, Bangalore also produces precision transducers.[25]
Solar planetary physics, infrared astronomy, geo-cosmo physics, plasma physics, astrophysics, archaeology, and hydrology are some of the branches of study at this institute.[24] An observatory at Udaipur also falls under the control of this institution.[24]
Research & Development in the field of semiconductor technology, micro-electromechanical systems and process technologies relating to semiconductor processing.
The SAC deals with the various aspects of practical use of space technology.[24] Among the fields of research at the SAC are geodesy, satellite based telecommunications, surveying, remote sensing, meteorology, environment monitoring etc.[24] The SAC additionally operates the Delhi Earth Station, which is located in Delhi and is used for demonstration of various SATCOM experiments in addition to normal SATCOM operations.[26]
Providing developmental support to North East by undertaking specific application projects using remote sensing, GIS, satellite communication and conducting space science research.
Formerly called LPSC-Mahendragiri, was declared a separate centre. It handles testing and assembly of liquid propulsion control packages, liquid engines and stages for launch vehicles and satellites.[24]
The venue of eight successful spacecraft projects is also one of the main satellite technology bases of ISRO. The facility serves as a venue for implementing indigenous spacecraft in India.[24] The satellites Ayrabhata, Bhaskara, APPLE, and IRS-1A were constructed at this site, and the IRS and INSAT satellite series are presently under development here.[25]
The Unit of ISRO responsible for the development of altitude sensors for all satellites. The high precision optics for all cameras and payloads in all ISRO satellites including Chandrayaan-1 are developed at this laboratory. Located at Peenya Industrial Estate, Bangalore.
With multiple sub-sites the Sriharikota island facility acts as a launching site for India's satellites.[24] The Sriharikota facility is also the main launch base for India's sounding rockets.[25] The centre is also home to India's largest Solid Propellant Space Booster Plant (SPROB) and houses the Static Test and Evaluation Complex (STEX).[25] The Second Vehicle Assembly Building (SVAB) at Sriharikota is being realised as an additional integration facility, with suitable interfacing to a second launch pad.[27][28]
This network receives, processes, archives and distributes the spacecraft health data and payload data in real time. It can track and monitor satellites up to very large distances, even beyond the Moon.
Bangalore (headquarters) and a number of ground stations throughout India and World.[26]
Software development, ground operations, Tracking Telemetry and Command (TTC), and support is provided by this institution.[24] ISTRAC has Tracking stations throughout the country and all over the world in Port Louis (Mauritius), Bearslake (Russia), Biak (Indonesia) and Brunei.
Geostationary satellite orbit raising, payload testing, and in-orbit operations are performed at this facility.[29] The MCF has earth stations and Satellite Control Centre (SCC) for controlling satellites.[29] A second MCF-like facility named 'MCF-B' is being constructed at Bhopal.[29]
Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS), a unit of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Department of Space, Govt. of India is a premier training and educational institute set up for developing trained professionals (P.G and PhD level) in the field of Remote Sensing, Geoinformatics and GPS Technology for Natural Resources, Environmental and Disaster Management. IIRS is also executing many R&D projects on Remote Sensing and GIS for societal applications. IIRS also runs various Outreach programmes (Live & Interactive and e-learning) to build trained skilled human resources in the field of Remote Sensing and Geospatial Technologies. The e-learning portal of IIRS is hosted at http://elearning.iirs.gov.in
The institute offers undergraduate and graduate courses in Aerospace Engineering, Avionics and Physical Sciences. The students of the first three batches of IIST have been inducted into different ISRO centres as of September 2012.
The centre works for education, research, and training, mainly in conjunction with the INSAT programme.[24] The main activities carried out at DECU include GRAMSAT and EDUSAT projects.[25] The Training and Development Communication Channel (TDCC) also falls under the operational control of the DECU.
