ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) has developed two 32-bit microprocessors, Vikram 3201 and Kalpana 3201, for space applications. The Vikram 3201 is India's first fully indigenous 32-bit microprocessor, specifically qualified for use in launch vehicles. This development is a significant advancement from the 16-bit Vikram 1601, which has been operational in ISRO's avionics systems since 2009. These microprocessors will enhance the capabilities of ISRO's space missions and technologies.
