There is a lot for us to take away from this mission and I have no doubt that India will continue to be an important player in space research and exploration.
1963 is the year that marked the birth of the modern space age in India when a small rocket took off from Thumba on the outskirts of Trivandrum, Kerala.
At 6.25 pm on November 21 1963, after months of hard work the rocket soared into the sky as India successfully put its first signature in space.
Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) went on to evolve into a world-class national science facility called Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), the biggest research and design center of ISRO.
Over the years, ISRO has not only fulfilled the visionary leader’s dream, but has also made India’s space programme the envy of the world with its successes being achieved on a shoestring budget of $1.5 Billion.

Launching 104 satellites in a single mission: On February 15 2017, ISRO created history by lifting off 104 satellites using the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), and successfully managed to put these satellites into their desired orbit in one go.
But the success of organizations like SpaceX, Blue Origin and government-backed initiatives like NASA and ISRO provides a good foundation for those looking to enter and innovate in this space.
Currently, Rocket Labs in New Zealand is the only company in the small satellite space worldwide which has had a successful launch
