“We always believed in others, but others never believed we could accomplish such things — constructing rockets and satellites in this country ourselves — besides having a large percentage of our own contribution [of satellites] to build them over the years and to have self-sufficiency in having our own satellites and rockets and pylons,” Mr. Somanath, who also received the honorary degree of Doctor of Science (honoris causa) in recognition of his contribution to the field.
