Rocketing Through the Skies: An Eventful Life at ISRO is the English memoir of G. Madhavan Nair, former Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The book traces his journey from his childhood in Kerala to his decades-long career in India's space programme.

Nair describes the early development of Indian rocketry under Dr. Vikram Sarabhai and Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, his work on the SLV-3 and PSLV, India's efforts to develop an indigenous cryogenic engine, and the Chandrayaan-1 mission.

The memoir also provides an insider's perspective on controversial episodes including the ISRO spy case and the Devas controversy.
