Chandigarh University has launched Student Satellite Designing and Training program ‘CUSAT’ and it has develop into North India’s first University to launch the superior coaching program for the scholars within the subject of Aerospace Engineering.
The digital inauguration session of CUSAT was held on May 14 which was attended by distinguished Aerospace Engineering Scientists and Professionals.
The checklist included Padma Shri Dr. YS Rajan, Scientist and Honorary Professor, ISRO; Padmashri Prof. R.M.Vasagam, Veteran Space Scientist and ISRO’s former Director, Geostationary Satellite Apple’s Project Director; Padma Shri Dr. Mylswamy Annadurai, Program Director of Chandrayaan-1 & Mangalyaan, also called Moon Man of India, in line with a press launch.Â
While giving particulars concerning the newly launched satellite tv for pc designing program for the scholars, Chancellor Chandigarh University, Satnam Singh Sandhu stated, “The first-of-its-kind training program in Satellite Designing and Testing would have a duration of 4-months and it would be open for the students of Computer Science Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Geo-Informatics.”
The coaching program would come with research of Satellite Designing, Integration of Components, Testing and Simulation of launch course of, assortment & evaluation of information from the satellite tv for pc.Â
“The students would undergo training under the guidance of former Indian and International Space Scientists including scientists from ISRO,” added Sandhu.Â
Chandigarh University has deliberate to design and launch a multipurpose Nano-satellite inside a interval of 10-12 months which might be launched in house by ISRO.Â
While giving his inaugural handle Dr. YS Rajan stated, “Scientists from North India like Kalpana Chawla, Dr. Satish Dhawan have made big time contribution in the field of Space Technology and Exploration and therefore it is important to educate the young & budding engineers from this part of India about the rich legacy that they have in this field.”Â
While giving the keynote handle, Dr. Mylswamy Annadurai also called Moon Man of India stated, “Russia and USA have maintained a lead for the past many decades in space exploration and space research and although India entered into the field much later yet India has carved out a special identity for itself in the International space program”.Â
He additional added, “The success of Chandrayan 1 and Mangalyaan missions have significantly positioned India amongst the top countries that have a great success rate in launching satellites and carried out experimental projects. The foundation of Indian space is so strong which can be verified by the fact that many missions of Russia and other nations took 5 or 6 attempts, but India has been successful in just one attempt in the Mangalyaan mission without any International help.”Â
The success of Indian Space Research Program and ISRO has additionally opened new financial alternatives that may considerably contribute within the GDP of the nation, added Dr. Annadurai.Â
India has already helped nations like U.A.E, Singapore, Thailand, France, Spain, and others nations to launch their satellites which can assist them in communication, navigation, and in different packages additionally.
