Space scientists make discoveries about the solar system or use satellites to study pollution on earth and also connect the world’s remotest communities and help in disaster management. This industry has room for youth with electrical and mechanical engineering, IT and software systems, physics, mathematics, space sciences and aerospace engineering.
The best academic route for careers in the space sciences, is Plus Two in PCM followed by a bachelor’s degree in physics and a postgrad degree in astrophysics /astronomy. Alternatively, you could sign up for an integrated Masters in physics at institutions such as the IISER; NISER, Bhubaneswar; UM-DAE Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences, Mumbai; NIT, IITs etc. and follow it up with doctorate programs. Graduates of the four year B. Tech in aerospace engineering, B. tech in avionics or B. tech in physical science of the Indian Institute of Space Sciences and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram are readily absorbed into the ISRO.
Digital technologies such as weather forecasting, remote sensing, GPS systems, satellite television, and long distance communications systems are becoming increasingly dependent on space infrastructure. Moreover, the space sciences are attracting the interest of a wide range of private corporate, including small and medium-sized enterprises. Therefore there will be intensifying demand for youth with skills and qualifications in the space sciences.
