The present chairman of ISRO is Sreedhara Panicker Somanath.

ISRO is primarily responsible for performing tasks related to space based

operations, space exploration and development of related technologies.

ISRO is one of the six government space agencies in the world that possesses full
launch capabilities ,can deploy cryogenic engines , can launch extra terrestrial
missions and operate a large fleet of artificial satellites.

ISRO is one of the four government space agencies to have soft landing (uncrewed
capabilities).
