Touching Lives: The Little Known Triumphs of the Indian Space Programme

ISRO's milestones

It is a very good book on satellite communication n imaging. India is in the group of few nations that has developed the capability of sending satellites for its own launch pad to remotest of orbit. The image sent by space cameras has provided advance information that has benefited lives of people in several backward n remotest region in our nation.
People working in ISRO have very good grasp in space science and are noblest of person. I pray that together with other space organization in world ISRO aspire for collecting space junks and process to bring back used and dead satellites back to earth. With new technology in communication science ISRO also should work on military and spy satellites which will give more information about hostile neighbours. Young students who aspire to be working for ISRO should read this book which will give them an idea about the diversified field isro is active in.
