Bhabha served as secretary of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), which was established in 1950 and funded space research across India.
[14] During this time, tests progressed forward with parts of meteorology and the World's attractive field, a point that had been concentrated on in
India since the foundation of the Colaba Observatory in 1823. In 1954, the Aryabhatta Exploration Foundation of Observational Sciences (ARIES)
was laid out in the lower regions of the Himalayas. The Rangpur Observatory was set up in 1957 at Osmania College, Hyderabad. The Indian
government further supported space exploration. The Soviet Union's 1957 launch of Sputnik 1 made it possible for the rest of the world to launch a
spacecraft.
On Dr. Vikram Sarabhai's suggestion, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru established the Indian National Committee for Space Research
(INCOSPAR) in 1962. At first, there was no separate ministry for the space program, and all INCOSPAR activities pertaining to space technology
continued to operate within the DAE. IOFS officials were drawn from the Indian Arms Processing plants to tackle their insight into charges and
high level light materials used to assemble rockets. H.G.S. Murthy, an IOFS official, was delegated the primary overseer of the Thumba Central
Rocket Sending off Station, where sounding rockets were terminated, denoting the beginning of upper climatic exploration in India. A native series
of sounding rockets named Rohini was hence evolved and begun going through dispatches from 1967 onwards. Waman Dattatreya Patwardhan,
another IOFS official, fostered the charge for the rockets.
