ISRO and IIT Madras have launched a Centre of Excellence in Fluid and Thermal Sciences to tackle critical thermal management challenges in spacecraft and launch vehicles. This collaboration, backed by ₹1.84 crore funding, will enable advanced research, helping to improve spacecraft design reliability and longevity. The centre aims to address extreme temperature variations in space, fostering new technologies and experts in space engineering.

The NISAR satellite, a joint NASA-ISRO Earth observation mission launching in 2025, will provide precise data on shifts in Earth’s surface, focusing on high-risk areas. Using advanced radar technology, the satellite aims to support natural disaster response and infrastructure monitoring by tracking subtle movements in regions prone to earthquakes and landslides. With each organisation contributing specialised radar systems, the collaboration is a significant leap forward in space-based Earth monitoring.
