India’s first indigenously developed remote sensing satellite, IRS-1A, was launched in 1988 from the Sriharikota Range (now known as the Satish Dhawan Space Centre). This marked a significant achievement for India's space program, overseen by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The IRS series of satellites has been essential for India’s earth observation and resource management efforts, providing crucial data for agriculture, forestry, land use, and disaster management. The launch of IRS-1A from Sriharikota highlighted India's capability to develop and deploy its own space assets.
