CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Industrial Visit to ISRO - U R Rao Satellite Centre, Bangalore
On 18 December 2025, the Department of MCA organized an industrial visit to the ISRO – U. R. Rao Satellite Centre, Bengaluru. The half-day visit was attended by 120 students, accompanied by three faculty members. The primary objective of the visit was to enhance students’ understanding of advanced space technologies and their real-world applications.
Students explored the Space Exhibition Centre, which showcased historic and significant satellites such as Aryabhata, APPLE, and the INSAT series. The exhibition highlighted India’s achievements in remote sensing and communication technologies, with special emphasis on IRS-1A, India’s first remote sensing satellite.
The centre displayed detailed models of advanced satellites featuring solar panels, sails, and thrusters. Explanations were provided on the use of gold-coated surfaces for thermal control and aluminum honeycomb structures that ensure lightweight strength and durability. Students were also given a glimpse of the clean room environment where satellite assembly and integration take place, followed by a video presentation explaining the satellite assembly process in detail.
A major highlight of the visit was the presentation on Chandrayaan-3, which included a video overview and a working model of the lunar mission. Students viewed satellite imagery of different countries and learned about the electronic components and systems used in satellites. An interactive demonstration illustrated variations in human body weight across different celestial bodies, sparking curiosity and engagement.
Mentors and scientists addressed students’ questions related to satellite launching mechanisms, communication systems, and mission operations. Guidance was also provided on career pathways, internships, and opportunities available at ISRO for aspiring engineers and researchers.
Overall, the industrial visit proved to be both informative and inspiring. It effectively bridged theoretical knowledge with real-world applications, enhanced students’ awareness of ISRO’s missions, and underscored the importance of staying updated with technological advancements in the field of space science and engineering
