Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chairman S. Somanath has exhorted budding engineers to exploit the possibilities of the Indian space sector that has been opened up for private players.
He was speaking while delivering the keynote address during the inaugural session of TechnoGenex 2022, a virtual event organised by the UAE chapter of the College of Engineering Thiruvananthapuram Alumni Association (CETAA) on Saturday.
Dr. Somanath stressed on the need to enhance the country’s engagement in the space industry that was estimated to be worth $440 billion. With a share of hardly 2%, India had a long way to go to match other countries in terms of space applications.
