Organized by : INSTITUTE FOR PLASMA RESEARCH, GANDHINAGAR
Plasma is the fourth state of matter and is being widely used for many applications in different areas including space and aerospace applications. IPR has been working on several technologies relevant to space sector such as plasma thrusters, ESD testing on satellite solar panels, plasma diagnostics, vacuum technologies, cryopumps, superconducting magnets, computer simulations etc. With the boom of space sector in India, the availability of such infrastructure, technologies, knowhow to industries is needed. Experts from space and plasma technology background will share their experiences that will provide an opportunity to explore plasma based technologies for upcoming space missions.
