IITB Student Satellite Program

"It's something to see a satellite being launched from another satellite." - John Glenn

The wait is over! We are starting our recruitment process soon. So, gear up to become a crewmate of our team. Stay tuned for further updates.

Please note that the recruitment is open only to IITB students.

For any space enthusiast, receiving signals from satellites using your equipment is a dream come true. For a student satellite team, establishing your own ground station is a must. To get started, it is very important to know what exactly goes inside a ground station. To make all this possible, we bring to you our annual flagship event, the Ground Station Workshop 2022.

Ground Station Workshop is a day-long free of cost technical workshop where the students of the Student Satellite Program, IIT Bombay, will walk you through the various technical aspects like designing and fabricating different antennas, transmitters, satellite reception, etc. We will also have live demonstrations and non-technical learnings in team management and cost analysis. We are also delighted to have Mr Ashhar Farhan, Founder and CTO of Satellize (Formerly Exseed Space), as the Keynote Speaker.

The workshop will be held on 6th February in the online mode. It is open to all engineering students and faculty, although non-engineering students can also attend. There are no prerequisites and interested individuals can register themselves before 3rd February 2022.

You can go through the blogs in ‘Know Our Shack’ and ‘Ham Radio 101’ from our blog page, Stories of a Naive Radio (www.hrciitb.wordpress.com), to get an idea of the type of content you could expect from the workshop.

Hope to see you soon.

Greetings everyone!
A heartiest congratulations to Mr. S. Somanath, who will be taking over the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). We also congratulate Dr. K. Sivan, an IIT Bombay alumnus, for successfully completing his tenure as the ISRO chairman and helped ISRO to acquire greater heights.

S. Somanath is an Indian aerospace engineer and senior rocket scientist. He first joined ISRO in 1985 at Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), Thiruvananthapuram, after his graduation. Before taking the position of ISRO chairman, he has been the director of VSSC, and before that, the director of Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC), Thiruvananthapuram.

IIT Bombay Student Satellite Program extends our best wishes to the new ISRO chairman for his tenure and hopes to see ISRO on more progressive pathways in coming years.
