Space Missions

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has submitted a plan for 58 space missions to be undertaken as a part of 12th Five Year Plan, 2012-17.

A Plan outlay of Rs. 39,750 crore in 12^th Five Year Plan period has been provisionally earmarked under the Plan budget for Space Programme.  During the current year 2012-13, a sum of Rs. 5,615 crore has been allocated and the amount spent up to End October, 2012 is Rs.1,871.53 crore.

The Missions planned for 12^th Five Year plan also encompasses 33 Satellite missions and 25 Launch Vehicles missions.  The details and the objectives of each mission are as under:
