Aryabhatta was India's first satellite, named after the great Indian astronomer of the same name. It was launched by the Soviet Union on 19 April 1975 from Kapustin Yar using a Cosmos-3M launch vehicle. It was built by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to gain experience in building and operating a satellite in space.

Aryabhatta is considered as india's first satellite. But to be frank 2 say this is not our first launch. But this is one which was built using only our Indian products.
