Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam was an Indian scientist and politician who was instrumental in the creation of India's missile and nuclear weapons programmes. From 2002 until 2007, he served as India's President. In 1969, he joined the Indian Space Research Organization as project director of the SLV-III, the first satellite launch vehicle designed and manufactured in India. After rejoining the DRDO in 1982, Kalam oversaw the programme that resulted in a number of successful missiles, earning him the moniker "Missile Man." Among these triumphs was Agni, India's first intermediate-range ballistic missile, which was launched in 1989 and used elements of the SLV-III.
