During a recent virtual event, ISRO chairman S. Somanath emphasized that space science extends beyond the thrill of becoming an astronomer; it is a complex field that requires years of dedicated expertise. He was addressing participants at the launch of the third edition of ISRO's Space Science and Technology Awareness Training programme. While the wonders of the universe often draw attention, Somanath pointed out that space science primarily involves rigorous data analysis and problem-solving in areas like sensor design and the construction of satellites and rockets. The event was also attended by A. S. Kiran Kumar, a former ISRO chairman and chair of the Apex Science Board at ISRO, who remarked on the goal of the START programme to educate students about opportunities in the space field.
