ISTRAC ( ISRO Telemetry Tracking and Command Network)

Industrial Visit to ISTRAC ( ISRO Telemetry Tracking and Command Network) Lucknow was organised for B.Tech & Diploma Engineering (EC,EE,ME,CE,CSE,AIDS) students on 20th October'2023.

For students pursuing professional education, knowledge gained within the confines of four walls of a classroom doesn't suffice for holistic development. To bridge this gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application , SMS Lucknow organised this visit to one of the most prestigious organizations of the country.

ISTRAC is basically involved in tracking, commanding, housekeeping data acquisition as well as health analysis and control, orbit and altitude determination and network co-ordination support to all low earth orbit satellite missions of ISRO throughout mission life.

The students were educated about various stages involved in launching of the satellite into space such as design and development of satellite , launching of satellites into various orbits and monitoring the health of satellite after launch. They were also informed about satellite based navigation services that ISRO has established to meet Civil Aviation requirements through GPS.
