Radhakrishnan emphasised that the first and foremost priority of the ISRO was flying indigenous cryogenic engine and stage. “That’s (cryogenic technology) the future for ISRO because future launch vehicles will require cryogenic engine and stage,” he said. ISRO’s earlier attempt in April 2010 to flight test the home grown cryogenic engine and stage, a complex technology, had ended in failure when the launch vehicle veered off its path and plunged into the Bay of Bengal along with GSAT-4 satellite. Radhakrishnan also said ISRO was now going to make a “very major inroad” in science, and referred to Astrosat, a multi wave-length observatory in space, which it plans to launch in the next financial year. He stressed the need to build “sufficient number of scientific talent” to utilise the space-based data generated by ISRO’s satellites. “Space exploration not only gives you excitement, it drives the technology downstream,” he observed.
 
I honestly wish that DRDO was as diligent in their duties as ISRO is.Perhaps we need to recruit more South Indians in DRDO like what ISRO does lolz.
