==History==
In 1961, the [[Government of India]] and [[Prime Minister of India|Prime Minister]] [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] entrusted the responsibility for space research and for the peaceful use of outer space to the [[Department of Atomic Energy]] (DAE), then under the leadership of Dr. [[Homi J. Bhabha]]. In 1962, the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) set up [[Indian National Committee for Space Research]] (INCOSPAR), with Dr. [[Vikram Sarabhai]] as chairman, to organise a national space programme.

In 1969, INCOSPAR was reconstituted as an advisory body under the India National Science Academy (INSA) and the [[Indian Space Research Organisation]] (ISRO) was established. The Government of India constituted the Space Commission and established the Department of Space (DoS) in 1972 and brought ISRO under DoS management on 1 June 1972.

[[Kailasavadivoo Sivan]] is the current [[Secretary to the Government of India|Secretary]] (Space) and ''ex-officio'' [[List of chairmen of the Indian Space Research Organisation|chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation]] and Space Commission. Vanditha Sharma is the [[Additional secretary to the Government of India|additional secretary]] of the department.<ref>{{cite web|title=Space Commission|url=http://dos.gov.in/space-commission|website=Department of Space}}</ref>
