Nellore: Isro invites institutes to be partner

Nellore: The Indian Space Research Organisation has made an Announcement of Opportunity (AO) to Indian academic institutes having considerable expertise in any of the themes which are of interest to Isro to join as a space-national academic partner (S-NAP).

There are many academic institutes in the country who have developed considerable expertise in certain fields.

The Indian Space Research Organisation  is announcing this opportunity for such teams to work with Isro scientists and engineers to further space tec-hnology and application potential. This collaborative working will enable the institute to access Isro facilities and Isro scientists/ engineers to use institute facilities.

The Indian space programme has the primary objective of developing space technology and application programmes to meet developmental needs of the country. This involves development of various technologies, realisation of new products, signal processing, and development of innovative applications to resolve problems being faced by society.

Apart from developing high technology areas using in-house resources, Isro also utilises the intellectual base available in Indian industries, academia and autonomous research establishments. The partner institute will be involved along with Isro in decision making regarding the adoption of new technologies/applications.

The proposals must be forwarded through the head of the institution, with appropriate assurance for providing necessary facilities for carrying out responsibilities.
