Satish Dhawan, Isro and the failure that humiliated APJ Abdul Kalam
In 1979, a young APJ Abdul Kalam was saved by ISRO Chairman Satish Dhawan, whose leadership shielded Kalam during a difficult time. Dhawan’s actions helped preserve the career of Kalam, who would later be known as the "Missile Man of India" and go on to become the President of the country. The ISRO station in Sriharikota was named after the great scientist Satish Dhawan, who returned from the USA with a vision to see India succeed in space exploration.
