Advanced Postgraduate Program in Satellite Communication & Space Systems (APGP-SCS)

For thousands of years, humans have tried to explore space and understand it in terms of science, astronomy and religion. After the advent of modern science and technology, mankind has progressed into exploring space, building complex st space systems and utilizing and returning things back to earth from space. In the 21 Century, Space Systems and Space Technologies have been playing central role in everyday human life. Satellite Systems have become integral part of communication, remote sensing, weather forecasting and broadcasting technologies. Mini and micro satellites have evolved as a cost effective solution for local area applications and as an important tool for space research. Other space technologies such as relay platforms, space telescopes, rovers and space stations have become a reality today. Space technology is no longer just reserved for government agencies; increasing interest in its benefits has pushed big corporations internationally to explore its viability and utility for various applications.


This advanced postgraduate program has been designed to equip young researchers and engineers to explore different dimensions of space and its technologies covering wide areas of space systems, spacecraft engineering with specific emphasis on satellite communications systems. The modules provide ample scope for the students to explore new and innovative space and satellite communication system design for ranges of space applications.
