Astro Space Camp v 4.0

Your Space Adventure starts HERE!

What is Astro Space Camp?

Astro Space Camp is a flagship program by Society for Space Education, Research and Development (SSERD)

The Astro Space Camp is the Space Exploration Program to elevate and foster the space knowledge and research universally. The Camp emphasizes on providing an innovative and exciting hands-on Space education as well as update our present generation students about the National and Global advancements.

Astro Space Camp Version 1.0 was organized in Bengaluru, India in the year 2017 with 92 Students coming from all parts of India. Later Version 2.0 in 2018 happened in 7 various locations with in Karnataka State but it had over 180+ students who participated from all over India and SSERD also had its First ever International Program; Astro Space Camp in Philippines that had 30 participants from Cebu city and near by Islands

About SSERD

SSERD is one of a kind in the country that organizes Astro Space Camp which defines what Space is and what are the branches of Space Science. Students will be taught about the topics under Aeronautics, Space Technology and Astronomy. Few Special programs like Sky Gazing, Space Talk, Space Trek are also included. To highlight one of our principal objectives, we create and nurture the love for the deep space and its science across various parts of India. One of our key aims is to initiate and develop the love for space among young minds starting right from their primary schooling and immediately expose them to the ravishing and never-ending world of Space Science through teaching Space as we are going to be part of Space Revolution. Students explore about various career options they can have in the Space Domain.

"The Astro Space camp in Chennai was a treat for me during the long vacation from my 10th to 11th class and getting to know about the adventures of our human race into Space exploration had benefited me in being an extrovert as I was not opening up until my 9th grade. So, the session that I loved was the presentation of Indian Astronomy and components of rockets as well as functions of the satellite. The session on hydro rockets, things were a realistic and practical experience for me. I liked the 'fin' theory to propel or to use aerodynamics to stabilize any flying object. I got to see the entropy happening in and around chuck gliders. I was astonished by the malleability of the Balsa wood used to make gliders efficiently. Before the sky-gazing session, you displayed the objects present in-universe that seemed like we were inside a mini Planetarium.
the motivation given by the team during the camp had given me a lot of self-confidence and extensive knowledge about the cosmos.Thank you for your support and guidance. Overall the exposure of this camp got me "mindblowing" Thanking You

TOPICS COVERED

— Aero Modelling

Students learn the theory behind the aeronautics and design their own gliders from Balsa Wood. Gliders which glides for longer duration will be the best and they get the price.

— Career in Space

Becoming an astronaut is every students dream, in this session we talk about the career opportunities in space technology

— Rocketry

Students think the paper plane that they make is a rocket, but during this workshop is when they learn what is an actual Rocket and how it works.
