In the visit, students had a visual exposure about different kinds of satellites and various parts. During the visit the UR Rao Satellite Centre Faculty has given the demonstration about Satellite subsystems, Antennas, Launch Vehicles, On board systems, Propellant Tanks and Satellite Assembly in clean room. The students were expressed that this program was highly useful to them to understand the journey of Indian Space Programme and as well as to gain the knowledge on Satellite sub-systems. The visit finished by 4.00pm after taking the opinion and feedback from students.

The Gauribidanur Radio Observatory is a radio telescope observatory located at  Gauribidanur , near  Bengaluru . It is operated jointly by  Raman Research Institute  and the  Indian Institute of Astrophysics . The observatory has been in operation since 1976. ACSCE Students visited IIA Gauribidanur Observatory and got an exposure to see the present measurement techniques used for measuring Sun’s and other planets radiation emission. The visit started at 10.00 AM.

10. Network Synthesizer

In the visit, students had a visual exposure about different dipole antennas used for measuring sun’s and other planets activity. The frequency range starts from 30 to 150 MHz. During the visit the IIA Faculty has given the demonstration about Antennas, filters, amplifiers, algorithms used for measuring the solar flare and CME. The students were expressed that this program was highly useful to them to understand the journey of Indian Astronomy and Astrophysics and as well as to gain the knowledge on several systems used for radiation measurement. The visit finished by 2.00pm after taking the opinion and feedback from students.

Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota, the Spaceport of India, is responsible for providing Launch Base Infrastructure for the Indian Space Programme. This Centre has the facilities for solid propellant processing, static testing of solid motors, launch vehicle integration and launch operations, range operations comprising telemetry, tracking and command network and mission control centre. ACSCE Students visited SHAR,Sriharikota and got an exposure to see the mission control center, launch pads, Museum, Integration of rockets and other activities happening in SHAR, Sriharikota. The visit started at 10.00 AM.

In the visit, students had a visual exposure about two launch pads from where the rocket launching operations of SSLV, PSLV, GSLV and GSLV MK III are carried out. Apart from that they have seen the Mission control center and various operations carried out in SHAR. During the visit the SHAR Faculty has given explanation about MCC, rocket stages and integration, launch pad Umbilical Towers and sounding rocket launching. The students were expressed that this program was highly useful to them to understand the journey of ISRO and as well as to gain the knowledge on several systems used during the launch. The visit finished by 3.00 PM after taking the opinion and feedback from students.
