Reflections of a Long Journey -- Forays into the World of Astronomy, Technology and Space -- Space - An Innovative Route to Development -- India's Space Enterprise; Strategic Thinking and Planning -- A Profile of Space for the next 50 years -- Space Odyssey - A Down-to-Earth Perspective -- Evolution of Earth Observation Capabilities in India -- Science and Technology of Imaging from Space -- Satellite Navigation -- Space Science in India : Two Initiatives.

This book discusses the journey of Dr. K Kasturirangan, who shares his experience of his Chairmanship of ISRO, membership of the Rajya Sabha, the Planning Commission and many other responsibilities. Over the past five decades of public and professional service to the nation, Dr. Kasturirangan has graduated from a young researcher in astrophysics working under Vikram Sarabhai to leading India's space program (ISRO), being entrusted by five successive Prime Ministers, besides dealing with several other domains of responsibilities beyond space all of which have significantly impacted India's development. This book centers around select 12 public lectures Dr. Kasturirangan delivered ranging from developing hi-tech satellite components, to managing an organization as intricate as ISRO which was guided by the wisdom of mentors, including Vikram Sarabhai, M G K Menon, Satish Dhawan and U. R. Rao, to tackling multi-faceted socio-economic issues, including India's nuclear deal, report headed by him on the Western Ghats ecosystem, and the new National Education Policy 2020. Scientists, historians, policy makers, management strategists, journalists, or anyone with a keen interest in understanding the processes behind such large-scale science and technology endeavors - right from planning, creating appropriate institutional mechanisms, working with multiple stakeholders to ensure that these programs deliver tangible benefits to society, articulating these benefits with clarity to political leaders to assure public support - will find this book deeply instructive and illuminating. It will be of interest to the scientific, education and management community as well as to policy makers and researchers affiliated with aerospace engineering.
