India joined the space age in 1962. Vikram Sarabhai-led INCOSPAR which eventually became ISRO from its nascent years have learnt to work in collaboration. Jacques Blamont was one of his first collaborators and a longtime friend.

Blamont’s initiative and insight brought the two visionaries close. This led ISRO and its French counterpart CNES to work together. From the first sounding rocket, VIKAS engine and several other technologies and missions were conducted with the help of and in collaboration with France.

“Wings India — Exploring Space together — ISRO & CNES — A Common History” — an expo celebrating France and India’s scientific relations and friendship in space technology and France’s contribution to ISRO, is being organised by Alliance Francaise de Hyderabad.
