Academia

ISRO encourages research activities at Academia. Interested institutions can be engaged with ISRO centres for carrying out R&D activities in the ISRO focussed areas. The following kinds of engagement is possible for carrying out joint research.

  1. Sponsored Research: ISRO publishes focussed areas for research in the space domain and seek proposals from qualified academic institutions for joint research. PI will be identified by the institution, where as Co-PI will be joining from ISRO for carrying out the projects. The project including timeline and budget will be mutually agreed upon and reviewed thoroughly by Joint Management Committees / technical committees with in ISRO centres, before the project is approved. The approved amount shall be released in phases subject to meeting the conditions of the MOU.
  2. ISRO cells: ISRO also established cells at various premier engineering institutions for carrying out Joint research. Space Technology Cells (STC) are instituted at IITs’ and IISc for advanced research with the respective institution. Space Technology Innovation Centre(STIC) at NITs in various regions to focus on entrepreneurial oriented projects and Regional Academia Centres for Space (RAC-S) are instituted at NITs in the different regions to encourage the collaborative projects in space in that region. In additional various centre of excellences, Innovation centres and space science centres are also instituted to promote the research in space.

Recognising the need for a broader academic interface with institutions across the country, a series of capacity building initiatives have been taken up to further strengthen the involvement of academia for ISRO programmes. These initiatives include:

Each of the above programmes is uniquely designed to achieve a specific objective, such as encouraging students towards entrepreneurship [S-TIC], motivating Academicians to tackle challenging problems [ISRO Chairs] and raising the overall research aptitude of an institute in space domain [RAC-S].


YUVIKA – YUva VIgyani KAryakram (Young Scientist Programme)

Indian Space Research Organisation is organising a special programme for School Children called “Young Scientist Programme” “YUva VIgyani KAryakram”, YUVIKA, to impart basic knowledge on Space Technology, Space Science and Space Applications to the younger students in emerging trends in space science and technology amongst the youngsters, who are the future building blocks of our nation. ISRO has chalked out this programme to “Catch them young”. The programme is also expected to encourage more students to pursue in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) based research /career

UNNATI

UNispace Nanosatellite Assembly & Training by ISRO (UNNATI)

UNispace Nanosatellite Assembly & Training by ISRO

ISRO, Department of Space, Govt. of India offers a training programme on nanosatellite assembly and building, UNNATI (UNispace Nanosatellite Assembly & Training by ISRO). Foreign Engineers/Scientists/Officials are eligible to get trained.

The training provides an opportunity for the participating countries to strengthen their capabilities in assembling, integrating, and testing nanosatellites.

India announced this programme in 2018 in Vienna during the Symposium to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the First United Nations Conference on the Exploration and Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNISPACE+50).

So far, 60 participants from 33 countries benefited from such 2 months residential programme. The programme is conducted at ISRO’s U.R. Rao Satellite Centre (URSC), Bengaluru.

Applicants need to provide the details along with those of their sponsors (university/organization/government/etc.).

Further details & link for the application are here:

Chandrayaan-3

Enjoy the extra time learning things you never knew about your favorite beach! We think you’ll agree that the cultural offerings are impressive and intriguing. Not sure where to start? Contact our team and we will direct you!

Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2 to demonstrate end-to-end capability in safe landing and roving on the lunar surface. It consists of Lander and Rover configuration. It will be launched by LVM3 from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota. The propulsion module will carry the lander and rover configuration till 100 km lunar orbit. The propulsion module has Spectro-polarimetry of Habitable Planet Earth (SHAPE) payload to study the spectral and Polari metric measurements of Earth from the lunar orbit.

Lander payloads: Chandra’s Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) to measure the thermal conductivity and temperature; Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) for measuring the seismicity around the landing site; Langmuir Probe (LP) to estimate the plasma density and its variations. A passive Laser Retroreflector Array from NASA is accommodated for lunar laser ranging studies.

Rover payloads: Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) and Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS) for deriving the elemental composition in the vicinity of landing site.
