One of the important projects of scientist Dhawan is to study shock waves and it is a very important point for supersonic flight.
Although Satish Dhawan is a great scientist of the country, but he always refused to consider himself a successful and great scientist. He always called himself a teacher. In his interviews, he always emphasized that his aim is to make the country’s youth better scientists.
Former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi once asked Dhawan to join the country’s space program vigorously. But Dhawan politely refused them. Dhawan wanted him to be the director of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc).
Professor Dhawan joined the Aeronautical Engineering Department at IISc and became part of it. After this, for four years he served as the head of his department. He became the director of this institute in a span of seven years at the age of just 42 years. In 1972, Dr. Satish Dhawan became chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization(ISRO) and secretary to the GOI(Government of India).
Satish Dhawan was the first scientist who took charge as the head of the country’s first supersonic tunnel building. Supersonic wind tunnel where the capacity of an aircraft is tested in supersonic speed.
Professor Satish Dhawan passed away in the year 2002. Satish Dhawan is known as a scientist after Vikram Sarabhai, another great scientist who started the Indian space program, which has guided the country’s space program in the true sense.
