India's space research agency - ISRO - has set its sights on Earth's planetary neighbours and expects to mark its presence on Mars and Venus within five years, Dr M Sankaran, Director of the UR Rao Satellite Center in Bengaluru told NDTV.

For many Western observers in the 1960s and '70s, India's fledgling space program seemed the result of wishful, even misguided thinking - a clumsy, multimillion-rupee effort to launch satellites and rockets rather than antipoverty programs or literacy campaigns.

Eminent space scientist and former chairman of ISRO, Udupi Ramachandra Rao, better known as Professor UR Rao, has died at his Bengaluru home early this morning. He was 85.

When my father was the Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, there was an attempt on his life while he was addressing the gathering at the Republic Day Parade in Jammu. Three bombs were detonated but none could get him, though there were others who lost their lives that day.
