Frequently Asked Questions
V. Narayanan is an Indian rocket propulsion specialist serving as Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation. The profile records that role and his association with propulsion work, which is the field he is publicly known for.
Cryogenic propulsion uses propellants stored at very low temperatures, such as liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, to give launch vehicles high performance in their upper stages. Developing and qualifying such engines is a demanding area of rocketry.
Space and defence overlap heavily in areas such as launch capability, satellite based surveillance, navigation and communications. Defence Street therefore indexes people and organisations from the space sector where their work connects to national security capability.
