Nasa chief for more co-op with ISRO

 The NASA chief's visit to ISRO facilities in India would help both organisations to understand each others' strengths and requirements. "He is visiting our centre to understand our activities in space exploration," Nair said adding that this would lead to greater cooperation between both the organisations in the future missions, Nair said.

During his stay in India, Griffin is scheduled to visit ISRO's satellite development centre, launch vehicle production centre and the launch sites in various parts of India.
