(ii) cirrus 

(iii) Zerlina 

(iv) Purnima I 

(v) Purnima II 

(vi) Dhruva    :     Dhruva is the country’s biggest research reactor.

Atomic Blast By India :-  On May 18, 1974 India carried out an underground “ peaceful nuclear explosion experiment” at Pokhran (Rajasthan) at 8.05 a.m. at a depth of more than 100 meters and thus she became the world’s sixth nuclear power  :  The first five being USA, Russia, UK, France  and China.

Space Research: -  In June 1972, Space Commission was setup. The Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) in Kerala was dedicated to the U.N.O. in February 1968. The satellite Launching Station has been established at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.
