India has also made great strides in satellite development. Aryabhatt was launched on 19 April 1979, Bhaskar-I in 1979 and Rohini in 1980. On 18 June 1981, APPLE (Arian Passenger Payload Experiment) was launched through Arian rocket. Bhaskar, Challenger and INSAT I-B have made long-distance communication, television and radio very effective. Today weather forecasting through television is a boon.

The IRS satellite system became operational with the launching of IRS-IA in March 1988 from Vaikanour in Russia.
