Space Program, and launches. The Indian space program is guided by the nodal agency Indian Space Research Organization(ISRO). The agency has contributed to science and dedicated research centers for remote sensing, astronomy, and space sciences. 

The functions Of the Indian Space program are: 

1. Resource management like mineral resources, agriculture, and marine. 

2. Environment conservation. 

3. Internal security and terrorism.
