ISRO: A Personal History[1] [2]by R. Aravamudan—a veteran of ISRO—and Gita Aravamudan—his spouse—is a personal historical account of the history of Indian Space Research Organization.[3][4] "Overall, the book is a nice exposition of the space programme and provides an insight into the ‘ISRO Way’ of executing large and technologically challenging projects.", wrote The Outlook Magazine in its review of the book.[5]
