BENGALURU: Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has solicited proposals from Indian institutions, currently involved in astronomy/astrophysics and in the development of science instruments for space for future astronomy payloads/mission.
New and innovative science, ideas based on technologies which are not yet mature at present, can also be submitted which could become potential options for future missions, ISRO has notified in its website. The proposals should reach ISRO by April 16.
The Principal Investigator of the proposal should be able to provide necessary details of the instrument which can address the scientific problems and capable to bring together the instrument team and lead the team for developing a space qualified instrument.
Proposers should describe how the scientific objectives could be translated to instrument parameters for a space mission, its instrumentation, measurement and operational concept. (AGENCIES)
