ISRO Chairman V. Narayanan is 'Mr Go-Getter'

ISRO Chairman V. Narayanan, renowned for cutting through government red tape, has announced an ambitious expansion of India's space infrastructure. By 2029, ISRO will operate four functional launch pads, including a third at Sriharikota and a dedicated SSLV complex in Kulasekarapattinam, Tamil Nadu. Additionally, the first uncrewed Gaganyaan test flight is slated within two months, with two more to follow. Beyond expediting critical missions, the dynamic ISRO chief plans to model launches for public viewing. His ultimate vision is to transform space science into a mainstream cultural phenomenon in India, similar to the United States.
