From whatever party we drove in Bengaluru, huge light cases of new factories everywhere are visible. The city makes machine tools, planes, the electronic and telecommunication equipment. The big blossoming the silk, cotton, food, medical industry here has reached.

Bengaluru nowadays not only the large centre of modern industries. It as well quickly growing scientific and technical centre. In a city work the Institute of sciences preparing shots of researchers. The centre on studying of astrophysical problems, the Research institute of technology. Here are Bengalursky university, it is a lot of colleges, in that-number of the technical. And not casually this city has taken a place conducting in the country in realisation of the Indian space program. The complex on creation of scientific artificial companions of the Earth Here works and there is an Indian organisation on space research.

In Bengaluru I have visited the space centre when creation of the first Indian artificial companion of the Earth there came to the end. Considering what exactly from Bengaluru goes work of the centres of space researches in Thumbe (Kerala), Shriha-rikote (Andhra Pradesh), Ahmadabad (Gujarat), here, will be visible, pertinent to concern the space program of India as a whole.

On April, 19th, 1975 start from territory of the USSR of the first Indian companion of the Earth has been carried out. It was deduced into a circumterraneous orbit by the Soviet space rocket. Also operated its flight from two places - from territory of Soviet Union near Moscow and from cosmodrome Shriharikota near Madras. Into an orbit was then the large space vehicle in weight in 365 kgs, equipped with the equipment for carrying out simultaneously several scientific programs is deduced. The Indian scientists and engineers have proved the ability to carry out the most complicated problems but to working out and spaceship creation. About reliability of the device says that fact, that it was in an orbit more than five years and normally all systems worked, despite the fact that what the companion life has been planned for six months. There have successfully passed experiments on studying of x-ray radiation, solar, neutron and radiation scale-. Technical experiences on telephone conversation through the companion, on transfer through it of electrocardiograms, meteorological data have been executed.
