Research Opportunities at SAC (ISRO) Ahmedabad
GTU has established 14 Post Graduate Research Centres, which are designed to work as examples of good and relevant
research. The Centres are to work as catalysts for infusing the spirit of innovation and research in the Colleges through
multi-College joint research projects and by actively involving postgraduate students in research, development and
consultancy projects. These Centres are required to establish active linkages with the industry and research institutions
in India and abroad. The PG Research Centre for Governance Systems (CGS) at GTU organizes its flagship event “CEOs
in the Classroom” throughout the academic year.
About Centre for Governance Systems (CGS)
GTU has started working as a Monitor for Good Governance, which will make it possible to objectively determine how
well the governance systems are working. It is initiating studies in the field of Governance System in Businesses,
Industries, Universities, Hospitals, NGOs and Governments, which may help organizations improve their working,
through new policies or through modification of existing policies, protocols and management structures. The Vision and
goal CGS is to be a leading Centre for Excellence in Research, Teaching, Training and Advocacy in the field of
Governance through capacity building, knowledge creation, and dissemination.
About Space Applications Centre (SAC)
Space Applications Centre (SAC) is a unique Centre of ISRO, dealing with a wide variety of themes from satellite
payload developments to societal applications. SAC is responsible for the development, realization & qualification of

About the Seminar & Workshop
Page
MOM is mainly a "technology demonstrator" project to develop and demonstrate various technologies required for
design, planning, management, and operations of an interplanetary mission. The Orbiter carries five scientific
instruments that will help achieve its scientific objectives and advance our knowledge of Mars planet. With MOM’s
success, ISRO has become the first Asian space agency to reach Mars and the fourth space agency after NASA, the
Soviet space agency and the European Space Agency to achieve this feat. India is also the first nation to achieve
successful Mars Orbit insertion on its very first attempt. The MOM spacecraft is currently being monitored from the
Spacecraft Control Centre at ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) in Bangalore with support
from Indian Deep Space Network (IDSN) at Byalalu.
>>>
Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) is India's first interplanetary mission with an orbiter craft designed to orbit Mars planet
in an elliptical orbit. It was launched on 5 November 2013 by Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) PSLV-C25
rocket. The Mission is primarily a technological mission considering the critical mission operations and stringent
requirements on propulsion and other spacecraft bus systems. The MOM spacecraft, also called Mangalyaan, has been
orbiting Mars since 24 September, 2014 and collecting science information from Mars.
