Dept. Visited By 6 TH SEMESTER STUDENTS Dr. Jivraj Mehta Institute of Technology, Mogar, Anand
2 INDUSTRIAL VISIT TOINDIAN SPACE RESEARCH ORGANIZATION (ISRO), OBJECTIVE The Mechanical Department, Dr, Jivraj Mehta Institute of Technology arranged the industrial visit at INDIAN SPACE RESEARCH ORGANIZATION (ISRO), AHMEDABAD for the 6 th Semester Mechanical Engineering Students to enhance their technical details and to get practical exposure. COMPANY PROFILE The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is the space agency of the Government of Republic of India headquartered in the city of Bengaluru. Its vision is to "harness space technology for national development" The establishment of ISRO thus institutionalized space activities in India. It is managed by the Department of Space, which reports to the Prime Minister of The Republic of India. Formed in 1969, ISRO superseded the erstwhile Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) established in 1962 by the efforts of independent India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, and his close aide and scientist Vikram Sarabhai. Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) is the largest among the ISRO facilities. It is a center for the design and development of satellite launch vehicles and associated technologies. The center pursues research and development in a host of distinct technology domains including aeronautics, avionics, and composites, primarily for the purpose of advancing the development of launch vehicle technology in India. The Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (is a major space research centre of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), focusing on rocket and space vehicles for
3 India's satellite programme. The Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre is one of the main research and development establishments within ISRO. VSSC is an entirely indigenous facility working on the development of sounding rockets, the Rohini and Menaka launcher. ISRO built India's first satellite, Aryabhata, which was launched by the Soviet Union on 19 April It was named after the Mathematician Aryabhata. In 1980, Rohini was to become the first satellite to be placed in orbit by an Indianmade launch vehicle, SLV-3. ISRO subsequently developed two other rockets: the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) for launching satellites into polar orbits and the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) for placing satellites into geostationary orbits. These rockets have launched numerous communications satellites and earth observation satellites. Satellite navigation systems like GAGAN and IRNSS have been deployed. In January 2014, ISRO successfully used an indigenous cryogenic engine in a GSLV-D5 launch of the GSAT-14. ARYABHATTA ROHINI ISRO sent one lunar orbiter, Chandrayaan-1, on 22 October 2008 and one Mars orbiter, Mars Orbiter Mission, which successfully entered Mars orbit on 24 September 2014, making India the first nation to succeed on its first attempt, and ISRO the fourth space agency in the world as well as the first space agency in Asia to successfully reach Mars orbit. Future plans include the development of GSLV Mk III,(for the launch of heavier satellites), ULV, development of a reusable launch vehicle, human spaceflight, further lunar exploration, interplanetary probes, a solar spacecraft mission, etc. On 18 June 2016 ISRO successfully set a record with a launch of 20 satellites in a single payload, one being a satellite from Google
4 VISION To continue to be identified and recognized as a dynamic, modern and ecofriendly aerospace company with enduring ethic and values. MISSION To manage our business responsibility and sensitively, in order to address the needs of our customers and stakeholders. To strive for continuous improvement in performance, measuring results precisely, and ensuring ISRO s growth and profitability through innovations. To demand through salves and others the highest ethical standards and to ensure product and processes to be of the highest quality. ABOUT VISIT The journey commenced at around 8.15 am from DJMIT, Mogar in 3 buses of the institute. We reached ISRO at around 11 am and after security checking and administrative formalities, we were taken to a central building Auditorium. Here, they showed us video Gateway to Space - on the ISRO, its history, and the current facilities available. After the video, a Senior Scientist gave initial brief and then handed over the session to Junior Scientist Mr. Satish Rao who took the session in the form of expert lecture and later there was question-answer session. The session conducted by Mr. Rao helped us to know many new facts and achievements of ISRO in the tenure since independence of India. All took active participation during question-answer session and many new updates were known including Chandrayan and Mangalyan mission. Then with small group of students, we started the visit of center and we saw first launching satellite of India (Aryab hatta), multiple launching vehicles, single launching vehicle, and many more related space technology. Most amazing thing was that for each demonstration as well as display they had one technical staff to explain to the visitors. Also there was quiz kiosk for enhancing the general awareness about the space center as well as general knowledge about Indian development.
5 We also saw space suit, charts of various countries satellites in orbit. We were able to understand the use of MKV vehicle and how its work, etc. Lastly we also saw cryogenic rocket engine and had excellent interaction with their team. We also received information about ISRO s next launch of a world record 103 satellites in one go which is incredible. We also saw the VIKAS ENGINE which is the world most efficient and economical engine for rocket. It is a liquid fueled rocket engine built by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). It was developed at the Liquid Propulsion Systems Center during the 1970s. It is used in the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) series of expendable launch vehicles for space launch use. The engine is used as the second stage of both the PSLV and the GSLV launch vehicles, with four strap-on boosters. Finally around 4:30 pm we left ISRO exhibition building with some memories and great feeling about India s achievement especially contribution by scientist and teams involved in space organization. We gave thank you to ISRO members for giving us detailed information and guided tour about ISRO.
6 LEARNING EXPERIENCE: 1. What is ISRO and how is handled? The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is the space agency of the Government of Republic of India headquartered in the city of Bengaluru. 2. What is PSLV and GSLV? Both the vehicles have similar electronics and same first and second stages. The PSLV has a maximum payload of about 1500kg and the orbit is at 800/900km. It has a third stage of solid propellant and fourth stage of liquid propellant. It has a propulsion system of 6 liquid propellant starters. The GSLV has a maximum payload of about 2000kgs. It has a third cryogenic stage for better performance and has no fourth stage. It has 4 liquid propellant starters. 3. What is vikas engine? The Vikas engine is a liquid fueled rocket engine built by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). It was developed at the Liquid Propulsion Systems Center
7 during the 1970s. It is used in the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) series of expendable launch vehicles for space launch use. The engine is used as the second stage of both the PSLV and the GSLV launch vehicles, with four strap-on boosters. FACULTIES AND STUDENTS DURING VISIT ON DATE: 20/1/2017 FACULTY NAMES PROF.
