Description	Aryabhata, India’s first satellite, was a momentous achievement for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Launched on April 19, 1975, from Kapustin Yar in the Soviet Union, it carried experiments in X-ray astronomy and solar physics. Named after the renowned 5th-century Indian astronomer and mathematician, Aryabhata marked a significant milestone in India’s space program. The satellite, weighing 360 kilograms, was designed to study cosmic rays, solar X-rays, and the Earth’s ionosphere. While a power failure curtailed its operational lifespan after five days, Aryabhata proved to be a crucial stepping stone for ISRO.
