Madhavan Nair nurtures.
With 43 missions so far and 15 live satellites in orbit today, servicing various sectors of society the Indian space programme is robust and raring to go.
A Mars orbiter by 2015, an asteroid orbiter by 2017, exploration of inner solar system and building capability for outer solar system by 2020 are among the conceptual stage objectives he set for the nation's space programme.
