Aryabhatta Biography

The introduction of Aryabhatta to the world happened through his remarkable work in the field of mathematics and astronomy. Aryabhata is one of the most renowned Indian Mathematicians, in fact, one of the firsts. Born in the Gupta era that is during the rule of the Gupta Dynasty in 475 CE in Kusumapura, Pataliputra, he was known for his extraordinary knowledge in the astronomical field. He has written many treaties in both mathematics and astronomy. He was also the author of many mathematical books which to date is considered holy and reverend immensely. Many of his works were lost, but some are still available for modern scholars and hold great credibility. And his inventions, discoveries and contributions have brought pride to our country. It has also inspired many budding scientists to follow his path and make discoveries. Who is Aryabhatta? To understand who Aryabhatta is it is important to dig a little deeper beyond the Aryabhata Scientist and learn more by finding Aryabhata Information about his inventions and discoveries. There is not enough information about his personal life. Rather, all are curious to know what did Aryabhatta invented? And therefore Aryabhatta Inventions and Aryabhatta Discoveries is still a topic of interest, as there is a new generation curious to find about this Mathematical genius. Basic Information Birth- 476 CE Birth Place- Kusumapura, capital Patalipitra in the Gupta Era. Present Day- birthplace is known to be Bihar, Patna, India. Works- H...

Aryabhata: Remembering India's first satellite launched 46 years ago

The launch of India's first indigenous satellite, Aryabhata, 46 years ago on April 19, 1975, is celebrated as a landmark in the country's space programme. The satellite is named after the 5th century CE mathematician and astronomer Aryabhata. Aryabhata's inception The Indian satellite programme began in the 1970s after the success of Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) success of the Rohini rocket programme in the 1960s. Reportedly, Vikram Sarabhai, the ISRO's founder appointed a team of scientists and engineers led by space scientist Dr UR Rao to develop the satellite. Launch Aryabhata was launched with the assistance of the Soviet Union. India lacked the technology to launch the satellite by itself and the Soviet Union had already launched its first satellite, Sputnik. Assembled at Peenya, near Bangalore, Aryabhata was launched from Volgograd Launch Station (presently in Russia) from a Soviet-made rocket. Specifics of Aryabhata The life of the satellite, weighing 360 kg, was about 17 years. The spacecraft was quasispherical in shape containing 26 sides. Its price was more than Rs 3 crore at that time and it required 46 watts of energy to run. It used solar panels on 24 sides to provide 46 watts of power, used a passive thermal control system, carried Ni-Cd batteries, and a spin-up gas jet system to provide a spin rate of not more than 90 rpm. Although its life was fixed for six months, it was in contact with the country for about six years until March 1981. Missi...

From Aryabhata to RLV

The RLV-TD HEX-01, India’s first ever indigenous reusable launch vehicle space shuttle, was tested on Monday, another milestone in the country’s experiments with frugal space technology research. The reusable vehicle is expected to heavily cut down cost of launching rockets for carrying satellites. Space research in India began in the 1920s with studies conducted by scientists S K Mitra, C V Raman and Meghnad Saha. However, it was only from the 1940s and 50s that institutionalised probe into space related activities started gaining nationwide attention. At this point, space studies in India was restricted to aspects of Earth’s atmosphere, weather prediction and the surrounding magnetic field. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru along with scientist Vikram Sarabhai (centre) established the Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) which became ISRO later. (Source: PIB/Facebook) ALSO READ: It is all about reducing the cost History of space activities in India reached its first milestone in 1962 when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru along with scientist Vikram Sarabhai established the Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR). Following the establishment of the INCOSPAR, the first rocket launch from India took place in November 1963. The ICONOSPAR grew to become the Indian Space Research Organisation ( Over the next 47 years, ISRO has improvised and developed technology, launching several indigenously created vehicles into space. Below is a timeline of the key achievem...
