Tipu Sultan was source of motivation for India to stand equally in the world: ISRO former chairman
Dharwad: The main reason for India to stand equally with the developed nations is Rocket Technology. Tipu Sultan was a source of inspiration for this, stated Padmashree Dr. AS Kiran Kumar, former president of ISRO.
He was delivering a talk at the 'Science and Technology in Kannada' conference held at the Golden Cultural Center in collaboration with the Dharwad Regional Science Center, Karnataka Science and Technology Academy.
Westerners conducted more research on the rocket technology used by Tipu during wars and then sent satellite and humans into space. In 1963, India also developed a rocket with its own capability. As a result, the cryogenic rocket engine has developed today.
