IIT Indore to offer Short Term Course in Space Craft

Inspired by ISRO’s bracing projects, Indian Institute of Technology, Indore has come up with a Ten Day-Short Term Course on - Space Craft and Payload Pointing and Control. 

The short term course will be conducted by the department of Continuing Education and Improvement Programmes in the IIT Indore campus. The classes for the programme are expected to commence from May 15, 2017. In order to get enrolled into the short term course, the interested CEP participants from ISRO, CSIR, DRDO, GOI organizations or any other academic institute need to register themselves with the payment of Rs.40, 000 as a One –Time registration fee.
