With the centre of remote sensing developed in Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science (SGSITS), Indore is likely to acquire data from ‘Chandrayaan-2’, as announced by college director Dr Rakesh Saxena on Tuesday.
During inauguration of 50th IIRS Outreach programme on ‘Basics of Remote Sensing Geographical Information System and Satellite Navigation System’, Saxena said, “Since, we have a centre for remote sensing technology that can collect data and provide imaging, we will try to acquire data from ‘Chandrayaan-2’.”
Further, Dr Siddharth Soni, coordinator for the project and former scientist at ISRO, announced the possibility of college making nano-satellite. If approved, this would be the first satellite built in Madhya Pradesh by a college.
“The satellite we are planning to make is known as ‘Suitcase Satellite’, which will have sensors and antenna,” Soni said. He explained that a prototype will be developed first to catch signals and track global position of the tracked image.
“We will be prepare pre-processing software, which will be used to acquire data, locate data and identify coordinates of the acquired data,” Soni said. This would be tested on ground based system.
“Further, post-processing software will be developed, which will classify and identify images with precision,” Soni said.
About 67 undergraduate students and postgraduate Phd Scholar are attending this programme. Prof Satish Jain, Prof Rajesh Khatri, Prof Shailendra Sharma, and Prof Vandan Tiwari of Centre for Research in Space Science and Technology (CRSST) were also present in the inaugural function.
Proud moment
India's second Moon Mission, Chandrayaan-2, successfully entered the lunar orbit on Tuesday morning in a significant milestone that brings India closer to joining select nations that have explored the moon. Celebrating the important milestone in success of the mission, we talked to some Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) manoeuvre was completed successfully at 0902 hrs IST, as planned, using the on-board propulsion system. The duration of the manoeuvre was 1,738 seconds. With this, Chandrayaan-2 was successfully inserted into a lunar orbit. The orbit achieved was 114 km x 18,072 km.
It was a moment of pride for every Indians and celebrating the moment, we talked to some Indoreans about their feelings:
“It is a moment of pride and inspiration for every innovator in the country. We are hoping to be a part of such missions by preparing our nano-satellite under the leadership of Prof Soni.”
Prof Dr. Arun Parakh
Electrical engineering department
“It is a big achievement in space technology and we can make our bigger mark in the world with discoveries from Chandrayaan-2. This is definitely a moment to celebrate.”
Anjana Jain
Electronics and Telecom department
“Every Indian can celebrate this moment, because the success of every space mission is a success for our country. I feel so proud of being an Indian and coming from a country of innovative minds.”

“After the movie Mission Mangal, we have learned so much more about satellites and contribution of scientists for the country. This is a moment that every Indian celebrates and applauds all the scientists at Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).”
