Student Satellite Club – PARIKRAMA

OVERVIEW:

The idea of Student Satellite Club is to encourage DBCE Students to build their own satellite and earth station and get hands-on experience in developing different systems for the same. This project will also help them to reduce the gap between industry and academia.

This project will also provide a good platform to faculty members to showcase their technical expertise which can be further tap with consultancy work. Establishing Satellite earth station and satellite making based research is an important aspect of showing research strength to the outside world. In order to develop practical hands on communication, it is essential to study the operation of satellite experiments under realistic conditions.

OBJECTIVE:

The main objectives of this research proposal are multi-folds as follows:

• To develop the basic infrastructure for the earth station and student satellite.
• To integrate simulation, theoretical, and experimental study.
• To develop mechanical, electrical and power system for the satellite.
• To impart training to faculty members and students to have hands on training in running earth station and developing satellite system.
• To develop remote sensing sub systems.
• To develop software module in tracking satellite and analysing the data.
• To develop telemetry-communication system.
• To develop the visualization tools/modules for satellite system management and analysing

INAUGURAL FUNCTION – STUDENT’S SATELLITE CLUB PARIKRAMA

The Don Bosco College of Engineering, Fatorda, Goa established a Students Satellite Club named “Parikrama” under the guidance of Dr. Varsha Turkar& Prof. Mohini Naik as Principal Investigators and Prof. Sweta Morajkar& Prof. Ramnath Prabhu as Co – Principal Investigators. The inaugural ceremony was held on 1st February 2019 in the Seminar Hall of the college.

The Chief Guest for the function was Mr. Shashank Krishna; Director & CEO of Katmal Info Technology, Padma Shri 2019 Nominee (Science and Engineering field) and the Guest of honor was Dr. B. Satyanarayana, IEEE Bombay section Secretary and Scientific Officer (H), TIFR, Mumbai.

The function commenced with the unveiling of the logo of Students Satellite Club designed by Mr. Siddesh Nayak, followed by lighting of the traditional lamp.

Prof. Mohini Naik then gave a brief introduction of Student Satellite Club to be installed and informed the gathering about the journey that includes the club member’s rigorous selection procedures and criteria. Out of 83 candidates, a total of 17 student members were selected with Mr. Musab Shaikh, Mr. Everard Leitao and Ms. Krupashri Koli as the Project managers of the club.
