ISRO’s space technology is being harnessed for national development encompassing a wide gamut of fields spanning rural development and agriculture to communication besides defence. This is apart from the space exploration which is its forte while the spin off benefits have even percolated to the medical field. This was stated by ISRO scientist Dr. Roopa Venkatesh during the 14 th science conference organised by the Karnataka Rajya Vignana Parishat (KRVP) here on Friday.
The ISRO scientist ran through a series of benefits and civilian application of space science and research and said that the technologies developed were being harnessed for improving the quality of life and optimal resource utilisation.
She said the data being generated through ISRO’s slew of satellites was voluminous and artificial intelligence was being used to analyse it and ISRO was also training government employees as to how to interpret the satellite data.
