India's First Rocket Launch 

Shikhar Srivastava

Dekhiye kaise Bharat ne apne pehle rocket launch ki shuruaat ki thi, bina kisi modern equipment ke, sirf cycle aur bailgadi ka istemal karke. Seekho app ke History Express show mein suniye unnis sau tirasath ki ek anokhi kahani, jab Dr. Vikram Sarabhai aur unki team ne Kerala ke Thumba gaon mein ek purane church ko Bharat ka pehla space research center mein tabdil kiya. Jante hai kaise Bharat ne antariksh yug mein apne kadam rakhe, Vikram Sarabhai ke sapno ko sach karne aur aaj ke Gaganyaan aur Chandrayaan missions tak ka safar.
 
India’s space journey began in 1963 with the first rocket launch from Thumba. Built with parts carried on bicycles and bullock carts, the small rocket flew for only a few minutes — but it marked India’s entry into the space age. That humble beginning laid the foundation for ISRO and future missions like Chandrayaan and Mangalyaan.
 
Discover the inspiring story of India's first rocket launch in the 1960s, a time when the newly independent nation had no space stations or rocket launching pads but a vision to reach the stars. This episode of History Express on the Seekho App delves into how a small team of scientists, led by Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, transformed a quaint village church in Thumba, Kerala, into India’s first space research center using basic transportation like bicycles and bullock carts for rocket parts. Witness the humble beginnings that led to the formation of ISRO and set India on a path to space exploration, eventually leading to ambitious missions like Chandrayaan and Mangalyaan. Join us in celebrating the journey from a simple church to planning a space station and preparing for missions like Gaganyaan and Aditya.
