Synopsis

Meet the dreamers and adventurers, go behind the scenes of exciting rocket launches, and blast off into the great unknown with India's space missions. Learn about India's first rocket launching station, which was housed in a 400-year-old church. Know everything you ever wanted to know about the visionaries, such as Vikram Sarabhai, Homi Bhabha, Satish Dhawan, APJ Abdul Kalam, and Kalpana Chawla who wanted India to reach the stars.

Find out all this and more in India's Space Odyssey, a visually stunning book packed with illustrations and photographs from the archives of India's national space agency - Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The book traces the history of India's space research, discoveries, and development. From the early observatories to the establishment of ISRO and the groundbreaking Mars Orbiter Mission, this book will introduce young readers to the world of space exploration and India's endeavour to reach the final frontier. Packed with profiles, key events, and concepts that are explained in classic DK style, this book promises to be an easy, fun, and engaging read.
