Dr. Jitendra Singh Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science & Technology; MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space inaugurated today the state-of-the-art IN-SPACe Technical Centre in Bopal, Ahmedabad. The new facility is equipped with the resources to support space non-government entities (NGEs) in designing, development, simulation and testing of space technologies.
For NGEs in the space sector, the IN-SPACe Technical Centre will provide a solution for many of the challenges faced by them in transforming their ideas into reality. The Centre features a range of facilities, including the Climate Simulation Test Facility (CSTF), the Thermal and Vacuum Environment Simulation Facility (TVAC), the Vibration Test Facility (VTF), the Space Systems Assembly Integration Testing & Checkout Laboratory, the RF and Opto-Electronics Laboratory and Clean Rooms for AIT activities.
These facilities are designed to rigorously test and validate space technology under conditions replicating the harsh environment of space. It also houses the Space Systems Design Lab (SSDL), offering access to simulation tools essential for mission planning and design analysis. Complementing the technical facilities are the co-working spaces, designed to inspire creativity and facilitate the exchange of ideas among NGEs.
