#Visits

An unforgettable visit to IUCAA, Pune! The Antariksh Club of VI recently took 16 students on a field trip to the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics. We learned about the Aditya-L1 mission's SUIT payload from Mr. Ravi Kesharwani and witnessed live data from the LIGO India lab with Mr. T. R. Saravanan. The highlight was hands-on learning with Jameer Manur Sir, who guided us through fascinating experiments on Faraday Rotation and Cosmic Ray Muon Detection. The visit concluded with a breathtaking view of sunspots through a special telescope. A truly inspiring experience! #IUCAA #Astronomy #Astrophysics #SpaceScience #AdityaL1 #LIGOIndia #AntarikshClubVI #EducationalVisit

On February 23, 2024, Antariksh Club organized an educational visit to the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in Khodad. The visit, attended by 35 participants, provided an in-depth look at radio astronomy through guided tours and technical sessions led by GMRT engineers. Participants explored the GMRT antenna array, control rooms, and learned about the advanced technology used in radio signal reception and processing. Insightful talks on GMRT’s history and impact on low-frequency radio astronomy were delivered by mentor Jameer Manur. The event offered a blend of learning, hands-on experience, and networking, sparking enthusiasm for future astronomy-related activities.
