Organisation and Objective

Space Applications Centre (SAC) is one of the majorcenters of the Indian Space Research Organisation(ISRO) located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. SAC focuses onthe design of space-born instruments for ISRO missions,development and operationalisation of applications ofspace technology for national development. SACdesigns and develops all transponders for the INSATand GSAT series of communication and navigationsatellites and optical and microwave sensors for remotesensing satellites. The applications encompasscommunication, broadcasting, navigation, disastermonitoring, meteorology, oceanography, environmentmonitoring and natural resources survey.

Earth, Ocean, Atmosphere, Planetary Sciences andApplications Area (EPSA) cover activities in the fields ofAgriculture, Hydrology, Land applications, PlanetaryScience, Physical Oceanography, Satellite Meteorology,Environment Including Terrestrial, Coastal and Marineenvironment, Marine and Water Resources, Climatechange and Urban planning etc. The activities arecarried out under a number of programmes linked toIndian Earth Observations.

This is ISRO's initiative to support Graduate and Postgraduate students, professionals from academics andresearchers across the country to pursue research inthe field of Earth Eco systems research using earthobservation satellite systems. Our Indian Remotesensing satellite IRS missions like IRS-1A to 1D,Resoursat- 1 and 2, RISAT and data from other missionswill be made accessible.
